1/48 Scale Decals for Voss's F.1 Tripe?

scooterjmuggs · 8 February 2007, 07:54 AM

Hi All;

Is there a commercially available set of 1/48 scale decals for

Werner Voss's
F.1 Triplane? Any suggestions would be of great help. I will make my own if I must, but a professional set would be much easier. Specifically looking for the cowling face decal.

Thanks for any help I can get.

Kriegers Rosemont Hobbies makes a 1/48th F.I resin conversion set featuring four cast resin parts which includes decals

for three F.I triplanes including Voss.

Just a word of warning before you attempt to contact Krieger's....

I called them about two weeks ago to purchase various detailing pieces and one of their kits. Of the seven or so things I wanted they had one, and the guy on the phone wasn't sure about another...I had to ask him to go check. Ten minutes later he returned to the phone, apologizing for making me wait, as he was also helping customers in the store. He then went on to explain, in garbled fashion, something about ownership changes - some guy who knows nothing about the hobby bought all the Rosemont (or Krieger?) inventory but doesn't replace out of stock items, won't pay to have the website updated, etc., etc. At that point it was pretty easy to thank him and tell him I'd look elsewhere.

I hope you have a different experience...

I am really sorry to hear this! Rosemont was such a STAPLE for the WW1 enthusiast for SOOOOO many years...... I hope this is a transitional thing and all will be well
