Bristol Britannia 175

[Genri]

Hi! I had a model of Bristol Britain lying around for a long time. I decided to make it, but in the original version - need a decal BOAC Cargo Service. Can someone offer this decal?

Of what scale?

 

[Genri]

nonstandard...1/96

So it may be a trouble. I have seen the decal sets for 1/144 and 1/72. Below here is the link to the 1/72 set offered by Hannants.

BTW.. is your kit the one of Eastern Express?

It turns out that you will have to make stencils...but what size? That's the question.. And thanks for the decals! I'll keep that in mind.

No, this is a NOVA build

This Britannia has been around since the mid-80s

By NOVA you mean NOVO ( also NOVO Export ). It is an old Russian firm. So the model is the old Frog kit. Both the Novo and Eastern Express reboxed the kit.

Nuuuu...you could say that...))

We just say NOVA, even though it's spelled NOVO. Yes, I still know this plane from the end of the 70's. I changed it a little.When I finish it, I'll send it for viewing..)

To be honest it is not too difficult to estimate the dimensions of the decal markings. It is needed a good pic with the side view of the plane. If there is not a such one you may use any profile or drawing with the markings seen. Then re-size a such image to the scale of your model. And voila... just use the ruller to measure each marking.

Thanks. That's about what I'll do if I can't find anything else.

Good luck!
