I have had a customer send me a scan of a decal sheet for "Billy Bishops 1:32 Nieuport 17". The trouble is the scan is over 2 metres high! He doesn't know and neither do I nor do I have any references to the size of the roundels on this machine. So does anyone here know or can anyone send me a scan of the markings at 1:1, in any scale?

Thanks

That may well be a godsend. You could use it to make an archery target you'll never miss.

To bad we lost Stephen Lawson. He'd know. Perhaps PM him.
