Hi guys,
I have a F-105D circa 1965 on the workbench, and I can't find any decals for the big US AIR FORCE tag on the side of the plane as well as the numbers.
So my question is twofold
1/ I have the feeling that the letters were more "square" then than now, there is more angle about some letter's sides now isn't it?
2/ is there any place on the net where they could sell that?

Thanks for viewing
Nico

Hello Nicolas

I am following your project with great interest! It is almost like JBA's threads. Sadly 1/32 is absolutely not my scale so I cannot help you but maybe you want to have a look at LSP and ask there: http://www.largescaleplanes.com/

HTH

all the best

You know Steffen, If i can't find what I need -ie those decals, I will end up NOT put any on my wreck, only the specialists would see the difference after all.

Anotyer solution is that I build those decals by myself using my printer and those microscale products to help creating decals.. Nothing too sure here!
