Special request: 1/144 DHC-5 / CC-115 Buffalo Decals for AModel kits.


Recommended Posts

Kursad,

 

I would like to see a sheet for the AModel 1/144 DHC-5 / CC-115 Buffalo series of kits.  All of the various kit provided decals are atrocious; transparent and incorrect in color and detail for all examples released.  While FCM (apologies to the baby seals) did release a set, it only covered a couple of Brazilian, one Ecuadorean and one camouflaged Canadian examples.  There are several countries and interesting operators / schemes that could easily fit on a sheet (or possibly two).  My favorite is the DHC Demonstrator C-GBUF scheme (Farnborough & Paris Air Shows).  See the photo at bottom. 

 

I would also like to see correct CAF rescue markings for the yellow / red Buffalo and for the white UN marked birds.  The two NASA examples were both highly modified and would require extensive conversion work to depict their testing configurations.  So while interesting, neither may be feasible for a decal release, but would spark the imagination of most modelers.

Kursad, What about it?  Here are clips of the actual AModel decal sheets.  While some parts may be usable (stripes), national markings and titles are incorrect in color and style/size (especially Canadian). Here is the CC-115 Buffalo scan.
