[lesofprimus]

If thats all I can do Cory, yea 883 will work.....

Thanks for the clarification Terry... Now if Jan would pipe up with what he's got....

 

[Lucky13]

I have the decals and they're the 883 and serial 17883, I guess that you'll have to use the stencils from the kit. If you want them, they're yours mate!

 

[Lucky13]

Give me a few minutes and I'll have them shot and post a pic for you...

 

[lesofprimus]

Yes I want them Jan, I need them as Im truly fu*ked without em... Aftermarket decals my ass... How can there not be anyone selling 1/35th scale VMF-214 decals???? Its a conspiracy I tell ya....

Thanks u kindly young man...

 

[Lucky13]

[lesofprimus]

[Lucky13]

Btw Dan, I checked, and I do not have any red surround stars in my stash in 1/32. I have some 1/48th ones, but I know that doesn't really help much, but it seems you're good to go. The thing about that Kagero book though is I've seen other profiles with a dark blue splotch under the number, so I don't know if you have any pictures other than what's in Gamble's book that I don't have, so you'd be able to tell what's what in regards to that.

 

[Catch22]

Dan, I know you probably already have this picture, but I'd like to point a couple things out.

In my above post I mentioned the blue splotch, well it can be clearly seen here in this photo. It looks to be the same blue as the roundel. Also, you can see the over painted red surround above the roundel.

 

[Lucky13]

Anytime brother! Great pic Cory!

 

[lesofprimus]

Thanks Cory, yea I had that pic but urs is of better quality... I knew of the blue splotch under the 88, and its only on one side... Ur pic is going to provide me with the high level of detail Im gonna need...

It is a filthy, nasty lookin crate huh??? They all were, pilots, planes and ground crew...

 

[Catch22]

Yeah Dan, that one's exceptionally filthy.

Great pic Cory. I guess they were all too busy to keep things parade-ground clean!
It looks like the surround to the stars and bars had been painted red, then overpainted in blue. The surround to the roundel looks slighly different, and I think this is due to the angle; the lighing gives a slightly different tone, and I'm virtually certain this is the blue over the red. So, looks like you're good to go with the standard kit decals Dan.

 

[lesofprimus]

What I dont know how to interpet is the dark line under the white 3.... Looks like a drip of blue...

Agree with u Terry, it looks like the red was over painted blue....

 

[Catch22]

Dan, it's the line showing how to get up. It should be in the kit decals, though I think it'll be white.

 

[lesofprimus]

Well white just won t do.... Blue it shall be...

 

[Catch22]

No, it'd be black. It's just another stencil.

 

[lesofprimus]

It sure looks the same color as the blue splotch tho Cory....

 

[lesofprimus]

Speaking of this kit, is there any resin sets or PE parts worth putting into this thing???
