berneckir Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 (edited) If anyone knows where I can find the VVS stars big enough for this kit, please let me know (I remember someone built this kit in different VVS markings and had custom decals made). Six months and the countdown begins. Rich Edited October 9, 2014 by berneckir Avenger2614, Bill Cross, Iain and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 Maybe eyeball the size and paint the stars through a mask? Girlscanplay2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berneckir Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Ryan, Thanks for the suggestion. That's what I'll need to do if I can't find any. I have the actual size for the stars, so I know how big they need to be in scale. The largest produced stars I've found so far are the IL-2 HB decals, but they are just a little too small!

LSP_Kevin Posted September 3, 2014 Share Posted September 3, 2014 How big do they need to be Rich? Kev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berneckir Posted September 3, 2014 Author Share Posted September 3, 2014 Hi, Kev. My resource tells me the wing stars have a 55" diameter or 1.72" in scale. The fuselage stars are 50" diameter or 1.56". Thanks. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennausamike Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hey! What is that set of aftermarket props that are sitting in the box? I could use a couple of sets; one for my Aurora, and one for my HKM B-25's. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Hey! What is that set of aftermarket props that are sitting in the box? http://store.spruebrothers.com/product_p/ams32061.htm But you might want to try PMing Harald from AMS here on the site and see if he has access to any more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berneckir Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for answering, Brian. Relish models also makes a replacement set, but they are also "out of stock" at the moment. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pennausamike Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Sorry for hijacking the OP's thread, but "Thanks" for the heads up and helping a fellow modeler out. I'll check into this set further, and good luck with your build! Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Very cool! Wasn't there an aftermarket set of VVS decals available for this kit, or am I dreaming? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mywifehatesmodels Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Did a quick search and I may have been thinking of the 1/48 set from Authentic Decals. However, I did find this thread: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.php?showtopic=43383 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berneckir Posted September 4, 2014 Author Share Posted September 4, 2014 Thanks for the thread. It looks like the person that was going to do the masks is banned from this site. I sure could have used the stars. It looks like I'll need to make my own masks. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berneckir Posted September 12, 2014 Author Share Posted September 12, 2014 OK. As I'm holding the kit in my hands, I'm seeing it as a PBJ-1 instead of a VVS. Anyone following this thread have an opinion on which of the two they would like to see me build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
