JamesHatch Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi all, Still on the trail of sourcing small bits for my 190Dora, I've noticed some amazing Luftwaffe builds with some real nice placards attached to the airframe and undercarriage etc. Does anyone know where to get these for 1/32? Are they decal or etch? I'm in the UK too. Cheers, Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesHatch Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Cheers Dave, Why the bloody hell didn't I think of that! I was thinking MDC but couldn't see any on their site. I must remove those blinkers. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smudger Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Does anyone do the same in decals.............I just find really small decals a lot easier to handle then really small PE plates. The placards realy finish off larger scale models so I'm sure someone must make a large decal sheet of generic placards for RAF, USAF & Luftwaffe. If they dont then I'm pretty sure theres a good market for this item. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rotary Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 archer fineline decals do generic placards in embossed decals (brass or ali. effect with black i seem to recall---as well as rivet and cowling fasteners etc. etc.---they are worth looking at if you won't be regularly looking at the placards with a magnifying glass. dave.

JamesHatch Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Shame, but Hannants have sold out and I wasn't even sure I was going to use any EagleCals decals, so it looks like I'm still searching for these Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
