WW1 FCM decals

fcm · 19 September 2002, 04:53 PM

Hello all,
As I told before in an old topic, I had started some itens in my WW1 collection called "The Great War".
The first decal with versions is still under construction in 1/72 scale, but the first sheet for 1/48 is available as a preview in my website. *Some "support" decals, like insignias and lozenges are already available and those will be on sale in Hannant's in the next days.
you can see the images of the decals in the links below:

P.S. The insignias decal includes complete insignia sets, panel instruments and manufacturer logos, as it was suggested.

Greetings Felipe,

Any possibility of you doing 1/48 Alb D.Va 5787/17 München Kindl?

Also I may not have this problem but newer members may not know how to contact Hannants.

Felipe,

My question is out of topic, but:

any plan for a decal sheet for the future Roden 1/48 Gloster Gladiator? If yes, a Belgian version should be very well appreciated...

No problem Stephen, but... could you refresh my mind about that? I had a problem here with my HD, and I have lost several things... I believe that one of those things could be that....
About the Gladiator, no problem also, however that was not a WW1 fighter... that one would be included inside other decal series, for WW2. Besides we already have a Gladiator in 1/48 scale: the Lindberg kit. The Roden's kit should be better?

Well, we can really hope that: the last Roden productions are very nice and seem to be well-moulded.

On the other hand, did you see the Special Hobby 1/48 Spad VII? The kit is superb. It can also be interrestive to make some decals for that one...

I would like to see the Special Hobby Spad VII... But here in Brasil it is very hard to se kits from that manufacturer... I have the Spad VII from BlueMax, and really it is not a view of the paradise... I will be very glad to see that airpane as a kit with Eduard quality.
Decal for allied WW1 fighters will come in the third raid of "The Great War" collection.

Felipe,

As I've said in "Spad VII kit" topic, the Special Hobby Spad VII is really superb. It's a short run, but well moulded, with resin pieces (essentially all the cockpit interior) and photoetched parts. Not so far from the Eduard quality.
The kit is available now at Hannants (cheaper than what I've paid at the Brussels Air Museum expo...)

Felipe, I sent you the link from the 'drome' forum on aircraft titled 'Jasta 76b' and its origins. The 'Kindl' is discussed there did you receive it? Also, how about doing Ltn. Bassenge's Zebra banded Albatros D.V, of Jasta Boelcke?

fcm · 29 September 2002, 07:16 PM

Yes Stephen, I received that. *As soon I have the profile ready I will put it here. *I will try to include it in this first decal. *But the other machine that you mean is that other in the same photos? I will include that in another next decal, due that large blue stripes of fuselage. *I do not have enoug space for that at this time (1/48).... The blue/white stripes on tailplane were horizontal or vertical?
