I must admit that I cheated when it comes to 'Enemy Ace'. I picked up a Volume 1 colection from Amazon. It seems that they are reissuing that stuff in book form. It has 10 installments of the adventure with The Hangman, The Bull, et al. Good fun.
In terms of the decals...Dave, I haven't painted yet, which gives me the option to build Stark's mauve machine. Bill Colby is going to scan the sheet that he has and email me the scan, which will then go to Photoshop where I will color it on my PC. I print on clear stock, spray with the Testors spray, let dry a good 24, et voila! Les Sept du Swabia! I'm hoping this works, and we aren't violating any copyright laws in doing so. Don't tell the folks at PD. Still, do they even make that set anymore?

From the Factory on the hill,
John

...and The Hangman, as well. It would be well worth it for me to scratch a Hangman figurine from something that I already have. I think I have a SPAD laying around here as well...

I'm in love with The Hangman's sister...

More 7 Swabians decals

Hi John
I was in the Victorian Hobby Centre in Melbourne a couple of months ago and noticed that they had a very large colection of PD decals in 1/72 and 1/48 including lots of the 7 Swabians decals in both scales. I talked with the staff and it turns out they have all the remaining stock from the manufacturer after PD folded up. I am sure that they could help you if still wanted to do that marking scheme. The only contact details I have are Victorian Hobby Centre, 1st Floor 21a Swanston St Melbourne VIC 3001
phone (03) 9650 4817, fax: 03 9650 1025
Cheers
James

John;

If you need any of these PD decals, drop me a line and I'll have a chat to the boys at Vic Hobbies.

Make your own water transfer decals on your ink-jet printer.
