Don't have any of those actually! There is also a surprising lack of Japanese planes.
As for the Skyhawks, I don't know if anyone's interested in them Evan. I'm certainly not, but I know my brother was (oddly enough) thinking of perhaps doing the non-trainer in RNZAF markings.
Just picked these up for the Hasegawa 190, will be doing the top plane:
And Evan, I spoke to him and he is interested in the Kiwi markings, in the low viz. He was showing me this plane in particular:
It's 1/32.
Now, is there anything you'd like for trade? I have various decal sets, many of them just extras from kits, though I also have a bunch of aftermarket sets now, though most of it's 1/48 or 1/32.
Re the decals, which low-viz type? The original low-viz markings (introduced around 1986 with the Project Kahu update) were the Red Kiwi mounted on the Blue circle (White circle removed), but around 2000 they introduced a new (horrible) Dark Grey kiwi on colourless centre circle, sumounted by Dark grey outer ring.
Cool, my favourite scheme..they looked like that when I was in.
Some bad news re sizes sorry...the Blue/Red A-4k roundels were 12", 9.53 mm in 1:32. The closest I have to this (coming from 1.72 sheets) are 8.2 and 12.3. As far as I was able to check on the net, there are no suitable substitutes on any available 1:48 sheets either, and no 1:32 sets in existance at all that I could find.
If the size inaccuracy isn't a problem, he's welcome to whichever he wants, or maybe I can send one to someone here who knows how to enlarge and print them on decal paper?
Easiest way would be to re-size just the red Kiwi, print onto clear decal sheet, and then use that on a suitable 'Type B' RAF roundel. Even if the red central circle had to be overpainted, it would be covered by the Kiwi at least 90%, and much better than having to trim a roundel from white decal sheet. I doubt the density would be good enough for the complete roundel kiwi on clear decal sheet.
Good idea Terry. Had thought of that, but none of the sheets I have, or have seen on the net, have the kiwi printed seperately. It will need to be carefully cut from either a white or Blue background.
Is it possible to scan a decal and colour the image with any of the drawing programs? If so, this could then be enlarged to correct size and printed I'm guessing.
I could give it a shot with the Testor's decal set, though the black didn't turn out fantastic. That being said, we could underpaint it. I think I made a vector Kiwi roundel.
Evan, yes. If you just need the Kiwi, then scan a decal, put it into 'Photoshop', Corel' or similar, and simply erase the background. Then size to any dimensions needed, as often as required.
Of course, a plain blue roundel could be used, either an overpaintedd Type B or a painted circle (masked), and then hand-paint each Kiwi.
