Tom Krouse Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Hello guys! I recently bought the Special Hobby P-39; LOVE the kit, HATE the decal options! I built the AM 1/48 kit last year ("Fancy Nancy"), and would really like to find a similar decal sheet in 1/32. The only one I see in scale is the Zotz sheet with a "semi" shark mouth that I'm not crazy about. Any ideas? Rumors of anything coming out?

Kagemusha Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Wasn't Fancy Nancy a P-400 with the 347FG out of Guadalcanal? I doubt there will be any decals produced for it. I'm going to do a similar machine and have uploaded the image of the 1/48 hasegawa decal sheet: http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/image/10049038n/40/1 , then printed it and enlarged it on a photocopier to the correct size, I'll use that to produce a mask for the sharkmouth using this method: http://forum.largescaleplanes.com/index.ph...38&hl=masks a set of Montex masks for the national insignia, and Xtradecals for the serials. HTH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dennismcc Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I'm still waiting for AM Soviet decals, pretty amazing that neither the kit manufacturer nor the AM people have done this yet. Cheers Den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HTH! Yes; "Fancy Nancy" was a P-400. Thanks for the tip; I'll TRY, but that may be a BIT beyond my "Skill Set". I may have to settle for the Zotz "Wall Eye" scheme.
