Aw Man .....both of those decal sheets I would love to have, the first one was also in Kit JT131 'Tainan Ku'
Both not easy to find at a good price...I would trade you a couple of kits just to get hold of them....

Don't know what you need Wayne, but 3 options of Tainan Kok. A6M2s in 1/48 decal sheet Berna Decals BD48-59

Yes, yes I said I was finished for a while ('for awhile' turned out to be really short). So, just where does the next 'Plastiholics' meeting meet?

The current Fw 189 A-1 build had me salivating for a more accurate, cleaner model; and larger scale. I gave up trying to find non Chinese offerings and settled on the Great Wall Hobby one. Yeah. I violated my no more China goal! But the reviews and the engine(s) details sucked me in. We'll see if GWH lives up to its online hype? While I was onsite with the supplier I just HAD to justify the shipping (right?) so thus the added 4. I wanted to do another ICM and the LaGG-3 looked interesting to try. Same with wanting to try a newer Academy kit, and the Vindicator just looked to cool to not have. The Eduard's were back ordered and became available and I HAD to order them, right?

Did you look into the Rising Decals offering 1/48 offering exclusively the Tainan Ku? There are like eight options.

Picked up this gem on Monday. Going to make it a C5M2 and have the decals to make it so. I have been looking for one for a long time that wasn't over $50. Good buy!

He's a good, reliable seller who has received a few dollars from my bank account in the past.

My GO TO for decals in particular, but I've used him for a lot of others.

Yes hard to find, and not everyone ships to Australia. got to remember those kits are 15-20 years since initial release, wish I had bought them...

And already have the Rising decals Tainan set. So are you interested in parting with them for a couple of kits..?
I won't be offended if you say no...

I need to keep one because they will serve multiple uses for me. I am always looking for Japanese kits to add. If it's interesting to me, I wouldn't mind parting with one.
