Jennings Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Some folks have lamented the lack of aftermarket decals for the new (very nice) Fly 1/32 Wessex HU.5. Unfortunately the very nice kit is utterly let down by really bad decals. They're rife with errors and inappropriate type/fonts. So I've put this together. This decal can only be printed if I get enough pre-paid orders to pay for it. I don't like doing that, but right now I don't have the disposable cash to do it any other way. You'll get enough markings to do any of the following: 1. HU.5 XS523, 824/CU, RNAS Culdrose 1987, RAF Blue-Grey and Signal Red 2. HC.2 XR517/AN, 72 Sqdn RAF Aldergrove, mid-1970s, Dark Green/Dark Sea Grey/Black 3. HAR.2 XT680, 22 Sqdn RAF, 1980s, overall yellow 4. HAR.2 XT601, 22 Sqdn RAF, Manama, Bahrain, 1970, overall yellow 5. HU.5 XS464/F, ‘C’ Flight, 845 NAS, South Georgia, 1982, overall Olive Drab 6. HU.5 XS513/Z-D, (unit??), overall Olive Drab 7. HU.5 XS678, Sultan of Oman’s Air Force, Light Stone, Dark Earth, black I'm thinking in the neighborhood of US $12-15. There won't be any instructions, but I can supply you a PDF with photos and/or profiles of the relevant aircraft. I need to get a firm price quote on the printing before I can give you a final read on the price. Given the holidays, etc, etc, please be patient. I'll let you know as soon as I know. These will be real decals - silkscreen printed, not print on demand digital stuff. Nice dense whites that will go over red areas with no problem. If you're interested, please reply here so I can get an idea of how many I need to print. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Looks great, anyone know where the kit can be bought in the US? Thanks. Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 22, 2015 Author Share Posted December 22, 2015 I'm not aware of any place. It's short run, so if you wait around, you'll miss it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
model mob Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hi Jennings, Nice work. I will buy 2 sets of decals if they go ahead. Also, is there any chance of posting an image of the profiles? Perhaps that might help generate some interest. Cheers, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rotorman Posted December 24, 2015 Share Posted December 24, 2015 Just ordered mine...ouch it was 115 dollars. I will do mine in the yellow rescue version so I am interested in your decals for it. Where do I send you the payment? Oliver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
otis252 Posted December 25, 2015 Share Posted December 25, 2015 (edited) I'm in for set as well. Just ordered mine also. Anybody got any idea how long delivery will be to Georgia, USA? Chuck Edited March 13, 2016 by otis252 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zerosystem Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Looks great, anyone know where the kit can be bought in the US? Thanks. Chuck Just stumbled across in one of my local shops today. My guess is it was a special order as the pricetag was north of $200 but it sure looked nice in the box. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rotorman Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 200 bucks...wow Quote Link to post Share on other sites
troschi Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I bought two in Germany for 67,95 € - that's about 76 USD. But the postage will make it rising ... As far as the decals are concerned: I would also take two sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Any update for us on these markings? I like to order a set. TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
