PrintScale may not be the most well-known decal producer, but their range of unusual subjects is definitely worth a look. Perhaps best of all, they''ve got a set of Spanish Civil War markings all lined up for the new 1/48 scale Eduard I-16:

Thanks!

Hello Rowan

can you add a list of the available markings to the article (It is not readable on the pictures) and is the Khalkin Gol / Khasan osero sheet also available in 1/48 (did I read Gritsevets???) ?

Hopefully Alexander found a european distributor (hannants?) or at least can take paypal payments ....

cheers

Steffen

Hi Steffen!

I think it is not readable because it is written in cyrillic! I don't know if Rowan speaks Russian... :-)

I like the approach of "event" decal sheets... very nice idea!

Jean-Luc

Hi Steffen

I knew I should have listed more of the options where I could make them out - I'll try to add them later today. To be honest, my arm got the better of me last night and I had to admit defeat.

Sorry - the Lake Hasan / Hanhim Gol River set is only available in 1/72 at the moment.

All the best

Rowan

Hi Jean-Luc

no it is bilingual, while the kyrillic text is better = more precise (I have seen the Khalkin Gol/ Khasan Osero at Internet Modeler over a year ago):

Internet Modeler Octobre 2004. Print Scale: Lake Khasan/Khalkin Gol

Also, I asked Alexander of Print Scale if the set will be available in 1/48 and he wrote back then, that it will be in early 2005 .... obviously it is not





Thank you Rowan!!

I am mostly interested in the Mosca sheet

best wishes to both of you

Steffen

Hi Steffen

I haven't had a chance to go through my refs, but listed the schemes from the instructions. As with any decals, some of the schemes really need more scrutiny and comparison with references than a cursory overview permits.

It's the one that got me going too! (and looks a stunner!)... but, sad to say, the Moska sheet has no English text, so I've done what I can. Mea culpa for any mistakes.

All the best

Rowan

Hi Rowan

Many thanks for your effort!!!

Of course I did not expect to find a full referenced evaluation of each camo scheme. I wanted just what is in the instructions ... sadly you cannot read kyrillic. It is impossible for me to make out the letters in the pictures but No. 4 looks like F. (=Fred) Tinker ... sadly there seem to be many Type 5 or 6 a/c on the Mosca sheet (which will not be issued by Eduard AFAIK) ...well lets see what Eduard will pack in the SCW combo kit (Morquillas hopefully and maybe more)

BTW I can recommend this booklet by Quirón Ediciones:



unfortunately the series was not continued (a 2nd volume and 2 volumes of the Franco pilots were announced) also the booklets are not easy to find, but I've heard you have some staff member there

cheers

Steffen

Hi again Steffen

Number 4 on the Moscas sheet is shown as a Type 10, "Yellow 5" flown by Ivan Lakeev.

The choice at highschool was Russian or German... I picked the latter.

All the best

Rowan

Hi again Rowan

GOOD CHOICE !!!!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

I mean this one:



left side, 2nd from above (there is a 4 in a circle)

what I can make out is I-16 Type 5, Pilot amerikanskii (?) ... F. Tinker, leto (=summer) 1937 (o.k. it is a little educated guessing involved but it is far from Lakeev)

but I do not want to argue about that ....

cheers and

Steffen

Hi Steffen

Sorry - going nuts there! The Lake Hasan sheet was next to me with a nice I-16 as #4! :-)

Right - turning to the correct sheet(!) - I'll scan the details for you later today.

All the best

Rowan

Here you go...



All the best

Rowan

Hello Rowan

many thanks for taking the time to scan it again!!!!

the word I could not read was dobrovolets = volunteer
below that:
camouflage - standard
cowling and rudder fin - black
wing tips - red

but one can also see this at the picture

best wishes

Steffen
