Quest for Decals

Modeling Subjects Aircraft
1

I recently purchased, on EvilBay, an Esci R4D-5 “Que Sera Sera” in 1/72 to go with my VXE-6 LC-130. Unfortunately it was without decals. (Grumble, grumble)
Does anyone out there have a this kit and would be willing to scan the decal set for me?
I would be greatful.

Some might turn up on Evilbay or you might get lucky & find some at Roll Models, Squadron, Internet Hobbies, ect.[:D] Even digging thru a LHS pile of sheets. - Calvin

BTW, I’ve been looking for some guys from the Reno High Rollers Model Club. Are u one of the members?[:p]

I have tried both of the shops here in town with no luck. I think that my last hope of finding something for this specific a/c is if someone out there has the kit and can scan the decal sheet for me, then I can print it out on decal paper on the Inkjet.

I am not a member of the local club, but I have thought of joining. It will have to wait, just like everything else, untill the chaos of the new baby slows down.

Wow! Well, best of luck on your new “Stork Delievery”![:D] Found something that might help:

http://www.rollmodels.net/search/newsrch.php
www.greatmodels.com (do a C-47 search, quite a few books, sets, ect.)

It looks to me if you can find a 1/72 sheet for a Navy R4D-5 w/ skis then you could be in business by finding someone or somehow doing up the noseart.

Ah, bingo!:

Thanks for the links. I had found all of them except the Great Models adbn Roll Models ones. The Kit is the one that I have. I think that I will be able to gin something up.

What do you do out at Fallon? I can usually tell when a wing is getting ready to deploy, because alot of the aircrew are coming into my bookstore to stock up on reading material!

I figured if you could get an additional kit w/ the sheet for a good price you might be doing good. [:D] I’m an aircraft electrician on Hornets out here.[:p] - Calvin

I have that kit with those decals in my “stash”. Let me know if you still need them.

Thanks, Gary. I dropped you a private email so we don’t clog up bandwith here.

BTW the “stork delivery” went well. We now have a 19" long scale model of a boy.
