peebeep Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) are these sheets still available? Hannant's have them, but they are marked up 'limited availability'. Jump in quick. :unsure: Peebeep Edited October 11, 2005 by peebeep Quote Link to post Share on other sites

peebeep Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I thought minimum order was £5.00 for decals. Might be worth checking. You could also try Aeroclub, they list Modeldecal sheet 31a as well. Aeroclub . Peebeep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
saintsdave Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Lasermonkey Do the your books say what the upper wing markings for 41 squadron are ? I believe they were a solid red bar but would like some confirmation Thanks Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lasermonkey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 What markings come with the Matchbox kit? I don't suppose anyone would be interested in some Siskin decals would they? (a between-the-wars biplane, OOP kit and in 1/72 scale- should sell like hot cakes...) Actually Mike, I have seven more Siskins in the stash, so I for one am *very* interested! I eventually want to do one example from every squadron. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe they were a solid red bar but would like some confirmation Thanks Dave Hiya, I've just added a couple of pages from an old Scale Aircraft Modelling which show the wing markings for No 41 Sqn and yes, they are a solid, red bar. Cheers, Mark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lasermonkey Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 (edited) Hi!These plans are great, but one thing is still missing. Namely, I would like to build a 2-seater in Estonian markings. The photos and these drawings clearly show that 2-seater had different wing with greater dihedral than single-seaters. Unfortunately, these scale plans do not show front projection of two-seater to see this dihedral. Does anyone have anything to help with? Marko Hiya, DC plans coming right up! They are online now. Cheers, Mark. Edited October 11, 2005 by lasermonkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
breadboard Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 Mike Two Bobs should have them also, if it becomes a problem let me know Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Henrik B Posted October 13, 2005 Share Posted October 13, 2005 Mike Two Bobs should have them also, if it becomes a problem let me know :o Yep, I just ordered from Twobobs. Hopefully they only list those sheets they have in stock. Now I just need to find a Matchbox Fury and Siskin! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lasermonkey Posted October 23, 2005 Share Posted October 23, 2005 Hiya, I received my Siskin decals from Mike Grant this morning (that was quick!) and I have to say, I'm very, very impressed. The printing quality is excellent and there's a choice of three aircraft, from Nos 1, 19 and 56 Squadrons (including stencilling) Including the Matcbox kit decals snd the option from the Modeldecal set, I now have enough for 6 of the 8 Siskins I have. It should be easy enough to cobble something together for the remainder, as the most difficult ones have been taken care of now! Thank you very much, Mike!!!! Cheers, Mark. ps can't wait for the Bulldog set! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bruce Green Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 I recently did a Matchbox Siskin, great kit. I wish I had had all the info published here Quote Link to post Share on other sites
