SharkOwl Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) 1/32 Scale Decals Thread : To Inform And Discuss 1/32 Decals ! I am opening this new thread to discuss 1/32 Decals. All subjects and matters concerning 1/32 Decals are welcome here to share the experience of all, not only with decals available on the market but also about the art of making our own 1/32 decals for our own personal (non commercial) projects. Here is my first Topic : Brazilian FMC will soon release a 1/32 decal sheet covering “Força Aerea Brasileira†Mirage III EBR for the 1/32 Italeri Mirage III E/R Kit. Lets hope that FMC will also eventually release other 1/32 Scale decals sheet covering other Foreing Mirages III like their 48-29 Sheet that was offering markings for Egypt, Lebanon and Venezuela.

panzerrob Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 Hi all, What I find really strange is that there are no 1/32 patches are included in any kit/decal offering. Pilots are covered in patches from their squadron, but also aircraft related patches like Eagledriver for F15's. So why aren't those included? if a company brings out a kit with a pilot figure, and a decal sheet, it should'nt be so difficult to include some patches for that pilot. With regards, Rob CANicoll 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on which period, they're not always worn, would be removed for combat. SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With regards, Rob Master Details include patches with some of their resin pilot figures. They are relatively easy to find on the web, reduce and print out on a domestic printer on plain decal paper then coat with microscale liquid decal before drying again and cutting out. Or even ordinary paper. Cut out and stick in place. Probably need to spray a fixative on paper. It's actually a shame that seated pilot figures are so seldom included in modern kits. I'd like to see the phenolic fibreglass canopy reinforcing strips included in decals of modern jets. These are so prominent on 1960s+ jets and such a PITA to mask and paint.

Dave Williams Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 (edited) Hopefully this will be different that their previous sheet for EBRs, since the ones on that sheet had the angled fin extension in front of the tail that isn't in the Italeri E/R kit (but is in the C kit), and some on the sheet also had canards on the intake, which also isn't in the kit. https://www.cybermodeler.com/hobby/decals/fcm/decal_fcm_32009.shtml Edited August 24, 2017 by Dave Williams SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Royboy Posted August 24, 2017 Share Posted August 24, 2017 I'd like to see more commemorative squadron artworks (75 years e.g.) for all airforces that have had them applied. They're always welcome in my decal collection. There are several decal manufacturers who have scored lots of sales from this modeller when they do them! I would like to praise AOA decals in particular for their stunning Skyraider sheets alone, more of same please!!!! SharkOwl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmel Posted August 29, 2017 Share Posted August 29, 2017 Hi all, What I find really strange is that there are no 1/32 patches are included in any kit/decal offering. Speed Hunter Graphics includes them in several of the 1/32 sheets. otis252 and Kagemusha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FCM Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Hello friends, my name in Felipe and I am the producer of FCM decals. I have had more atention to 1/32 scale since I migrated to 1/32 scale as modeler.

The next release in 1/32 scale, set 32022 is for the A-18G Growler, prepared for the Trumpeter kit, offering two versions of VAQ-132 Scorpions. The decal was already sent by MicroScale and I beleive to have that in hands mid October: To see more details of my 1/32 decals range, please visit my website and my 1/32 sector: http://www.fcm.eti.br/32.html CANicoll and SharkOwl 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoobyDoo Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 I'd like to see 1/32 Soccer War Corsairs, I think FCM would be the perfect manufacturer to release these especially since you are South America based. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imatt88 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Yes! I agree with Scooby, I would love to see more Soccer Wars Corsair and Mustangs in 32nd scale. Actually, any Central/South American Air Forces decal sheets in 32nd scale would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 A bit off topic - but I agree on adding more pilot figures. Some of the aftermarket ones are about the same price as the kit i want to put the pilot in! I think it adds so much to the plane to have a pilot in place and interacting with the plane or even looking out the side of the cockpit (or raising his hand to say hi).

It is very sad only Hasegawa, Tamiya and Academy include seated pilot figures in their 1/32 kits... I have needed to copy these to some of the other kits... The figures of Tamiya kits have an individual sprue, these could be sold separately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
