Morning all (or so it is here in Colorado),
My model buying days are over for various reasons and so I won' t be getting hold of a Roden 1/32 Sopwith Tripe, a shame as it's one of my all time faves. Sigh.
Anyway, I do have the really quite excellent Aeroclub vacuform kit, and unlike the rest of my vacs will probably actually build it some day. Unfortunately, it comes with no decals. I have a couple of sheets of Americany Gryphon (I think) roundels, so I'm OK there, but nothing else.
So, my request is whether anyone out there has the Roden kit and isn't planning on doing Ray Collishaw's Black Maria, would you be willing to part with the decals? Really only need the specific markings (letters, serials, names, etc.)?
I would very much appreciate it if anyone feels so inclined, and thanks!

I am thoroughly impressed! Thanks again Des!!
'Course, now I'm going to actually have to build it.
I'm willing to take that chance!

Des Delatorre, excellent person! Decals (all of them!) arrived safe and sound, and less than a week after mailing!
My hat's off to you sir!
