Scooby Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Has anyone heard from Dave recently or ordered decals from his site? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Have the feeling he folded up on new stuff. Which is too bad. Dave made some nice stuff. He was not at the last area shows either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Don Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Boy he was nice to have around for Canadian subjects. I hope he hasn't thrown in the towel. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 I can’t remember where I heard this but I recall someone telling me that he’s doing custom decals sheets for a certain kit manufacturer instead of for his personal business. It sounds like he lost a lot of money when he put out the BoB CF-18 kit a couple years back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It sounds like he lost a lot of money when he put out the BoB CF-18 kit a couple years back. He posted an update on his Facebook page April 12th with that and more information. Since then he hasn't posted anything. I asked him a few questions via email and he hasn't replied. I also placed an order two weeks ago and haven't received the decals yet. He is still going to produce, just more carefully. He took a hit on his BoB kit release. I was hoping someone would respond saying they placed an order recently and received it.

Thanks Last time I ordered decals was probably late last year and I did receive the decals. I honestly had high hopes for Canuck to fill the void for Canadian decals, but with nothing new from them in a couple of years, those hopes have faded. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cf18hornet Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 When I first heard about Canuck I couldn’t believe the amazing variety he was producing. It was a dream come true for this Canadian modeller who tries to build at least one of every aircraft ever used by Canada. And the quality of his decals are unquestionably some of the best I’ve ever used. Here’s hoping that one day Canuck will start putting out some new releases because there is such a lack of Canadian aftermarket decals these days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter1075 Posted July 2, 2018 Share Posted July 2, 2018 I ordered from him in December. At that time, he said he was pretty busy with his full time work with new stuff on the backburner, but he still takes/fulfills orders from the website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted July 4, 2018 Author Share Posted July 4, 2018 I received my decals today, great product. All is good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 (edited) Man, that is sad to hear. I really liked his sheets. Do any retailers carry his decals? I was hoping to find his 1/48 CF-104 sheet with the Variegated Camouflage jet on it. Edited July 24, 2018 by RCarlson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That sheet is still listed on the site in 1/48 so order from him and try to keep him interested in sales....... http://www.canuckmodels.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'll try emailing David and see if they are gone or it's just the website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He mailed the last of them to Hannants, who are also out of stock. I also emailed them directly. David does plan to release sold out decals, he just doesn’t know when. He has announced some, the variegated 104s are not on that list. I’ve emailed all over the place looking for those decals, I missed a set by one day at one location. I have also posted want adds. I am after the 1/32 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Thanks Scooby! I just got the AirDOC Canadian Starfighters book and now I have the itch. I thought I had decals somewhere for the variegated scheme. I’ll have to watch for them and if I see them in 32 I’ll let you know. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Yeah, I emailed David over two years ago when I bought the 1:72 P-3C VP-92/96 sheet and he promised to re-print 009-72 CF-101 Voodoo Special Scheme Markings. I can wait. Edited July 25, 2018 by Dutch add info Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have no plans to do another Starfighter so I’m willing to part with what’s left if they work for you. I don’t have an account to post pictures anywhere but could email you what I have.

K Man, where were you when I was posting requests for full or partial sets in the ARC and Hyperscale want adds? Very generous. Although I am looking for 1/32 variegated CF-104s. I have a lot of 1/48 CF-104 decals sets, many are still available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great book, I got it directly from the author soon after it was released. If you can’t find the Canuck decals, you are aware that Belcher still has his CF-104 decals, which are printed by microscale? Very good decals, some of the best on the market. http://www.belcherbits.com/lines/decals/bd6.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And I was just looking at his site at the Minuteman missiles that he makes. I've always wanted to do a Canadian Starfighter, but after going through the AirDOC books there is about 4 different ones I would like to do! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
