Hi guys .. Ok im wanting to use this scheme on my 1/48 E2 its the Grey hawks but is there any decal set for it out there ?? if not has anybody got any good 3 view pictures or any other pictures of it at all so i can print my own ??





any help would be great

Thanks

You've got to hand it to those sailors- wow!

I'll second Chuck wow, a really nice scheme although that is no help to you Dave.

I've seen a load of schemes out for the E-2C but not this one, do you know what year it's from? Just asking as it may be too early for any decal company to have one out yet.

as i understand it is from this year yes ... if i could just find the hawk head silhouette image i could print my own or if i was good with photoshop i might be able to use the first picture and take the image from that ... would that be possible ?

Don't know if you already have photoshop or not, but there is a program called Gimp that is free online. I do simple pic manipulations on it like what your talking about here. The controls aren't intuitive but photoshop is the same way and you can look up different commands via the majesty of Google. With a little patience you can get amazing results.

I've never used a decal program before so don't know if it will work but I don't see why not. Probably need to be wary of file formatting.

Try it and let us know.

Great shot! On my last cruise I watched an E2 lose both engines at touchdown, but was a bolter. Was interesting watch it go over the end of the angle deck. Pilots got both engines restarted before hitting the water, did a go around and caught a 3 wire. Those guys had ice water in their veins.

thanks for the help guys iv managed to get it sorted now so ill be printing my own decals .. iv just started the build too

Dave, please post pictures of your build experience, and how you are doing the markings for this Hawkeye

Bruce. I will be taking plenty of photos as im building it for the Birds of prey campaign so they will be posted there

:o

Ice water in their veins......and in need of a change of underwear I'll wager!!
