Here is a link to what LEM used to do. What's not shown is the Sabre Mk5/6 stencils that he also did as a separate sheet. As previously mentioned, Above and Below Graphics might be the only way now. Unfortunately, you can't view what's available as he has disabled the catalogue (and ordering) until his return. http://www.arcair.com/rev-archive/jet/F-86-Sabre/32-decals-01.shtm

I hope they do another run of the Draken.

This was Dannys' last word regarding the decals. DACO Products LSP_Members 6 Posted November 16, 2024 Hi guys, First of all: big SIGH here when reading some posts... Okay (taking a deep breath), the decals: THEY STILL HAVE TO BE DESIGNED and - as I want everything to be as 100% perfect as possible - this is not an easy 5 minutes-job (the research process takes most of the time). I also have other projects going on, for example 2 jobs for Revell, so I can not work all time on the Fouga decals even if you find you're entitled to them... I've decided to use these decals also for the next main batch, so they will be printed by Cartograf and not by a smaller company. And knowing that Cartograf has a waiting-queue of several months, don't expect them in your mailbox in the next few months... Now some good news: These last two weeks I've been drawing instruments (what a boring job) and I still have to do the research for the non-Belgian-Fouga instruments, so I hope you will enjoy them when you see them on the decal sheet, even if they are all as individual decals. Also, I 'm working on getting a set of 3D-decal-printed straps, but I've no idea if it will work. Danny DACO Produ

That makes me wonder how likely there are to be further production runs subsequent to the initial sold-out batch of 250? How could he sell kits and then tell everyone there are no decals and also no idea when there will be any? Gorgeous kit, though.

I hope he isn't! There are 250 kits out there from his first production run without decals. I've not received any sort of update about when I can expect them.

Review of the 1/48 Lancaster on The Modeling News

That's not an impediment to saving the information. It's easily dealt with. -

No they don't, unless that is a personal preference you have. It all gets cut and pasted into the Word doc. This is the process I use when I follow an in-progress build and want to save it for future reference. And if you do want the photos as individual items that can't be downloaded, you can take take screen shots of everything and use something like Paint or Paint 3D. At that point you can crop the image, magnify it and then save it. -

Some additional information from the Checkertail book regarding "confusion" around nose markings. Look at what is also said about the serial number after the checks were painted on the vertical fin. If you look at your image you can see something in white at the location indicated in the text.

Well, it's sporting the black and yellow triangles on the empennage as used by the 325th F.G. According to the book CHECKERTAIL CLAN The 325th Fighter Group in North Africa and Italy, the 317th F.S. used the numbers 10 through 39 on the fuselage sides, the 318th used 40-69, and the 319th used 70-99. That makes the two aircraft that are identifiable in the background ( 23 and 30) as belonging to the 317th F.S. and, by association, proximity, yours? I suppose one could rule out certain numbers just going by what is visible under the trail edge of the port wing. Quoting the above book again: The early D-10's and D-6's had their aircraft numbers applied in white, on either side of the fuselage, but due to a paint shortage and the many activities associated with converting to a new type and several changes of base, the Group tail marking was rarely if ever applied to these planes. With the D-15's and D-16's, the black and yellow checks were applied to the vertical tail and the tops of the horizontal tail planes, but the size of the checks was reduced from 14 to 12 inches. Their P-40's had 14" checks according to the same book. When the 325th F.G. converted to P-47's from their P-40's, they initially had D-6's and D-10's, which were subsequently replaced by D-15's and D-16's, and then eventually P-51D's. I am omitting dates that this happened due to the amount of reading and typing necessary and quoting source material, but it isn't from memory. Sorry that I can't help you more. Hopefully someone with have the answer you are seeking. Nice photo.

Lockheed F-4A-1-LO to french AF infos needed
TBC replied to rafju's topic in Aviation Discussion & Research
That could very well be. Photographs of these 2 a/c with their previous units might prove that. -

Sometimes the simplest explanation is correct, but I don't know how they'd get them in there mounted incorrectly. -

Thank you for the update, Danny. It's a gorgeous kit, as I'm sure your decals will be. I'm an extremely satisfied customer.
