So it's still moving forward at the same pace it always has. Gotta love these rumours. There was one on Britmodeler about Tamiya discontinuing their paints earlier this week. Thanks Carl, another urban myth dispatched to the dusty corner of someone’s imagination…… 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Rob for the Thank you for the AWESOME update! I wonder if SH might also be tinkering with a traditional J3 with the teardrop shape rear window and no plexiglass over the cockpit area. Either way I'm fine with the kit and the CMK upgrades and can't wait. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Has anyone used or sampled the No Carrier Film Decals from Fantasy Printshop. I was reading about these and they sound pretty good to me as I do tend to get silvering even if they are on a high gloss coat. They are a UK based manufacturer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Phil I haven't heard of the company or read any reviews but No Carier Film Decals sound fantastic. I'll do a little checking and see what I can find out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Thanks Paul I've now been on the site and started looking for reviews. So far, the carrierless decals have had positive reviews and I'm still looking for more reviews. Thinking of giving them a try, especially on a NMF aircraft, which I think is the hardest surface to decals and have the carrier film vanish, especially if you are looking at the markings on an angle. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 I've been reading reviews and have been to their seb site. It seems that the decals that do not have carrier film are letter and number sheets and not full aircraft sheets, or at least I haven't found them yet. Still a great idea and one better then Eduart's where the carrier film needs to be peeled off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bomber_County Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 That’s exactly what I thought, I saw these originally on Aeroscale…. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Phil Same here. I was hoping they would be conventional decal subjects just without the carrier film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I missing something because I do not see the point……. I do, earning money, I guess . I am not so well informed, but had a slight interest into the Puma and the Dragon ones are hard to find, at least in hobby stores. For the Panzer IV, I don't know, if they are available from Dragon. They have better painting guides, more painting variants and new decals as a bonus. Cheers Rob 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peterpools Posted Wednesday at 09:18 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 09:18 PM Rob Not good news at all. Always bad news when a model company decides to stop production of their kits and then it becomes a waiting game as to whether or not they will resume production. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the F-4G coming out, hopefully a slatted wing E won't be too far behind. That could push me over the edge into 1/48 jets. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM Share Posted yesterday at 11:58 AM Carl Sure, hope so. I have the F4F (Early) and absolutely hope a late F4E isn't far behind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
