26 Decals has announced the next decal for the British Airways ‘retro’ fleet.  Commemorating British European Airways, G-EUPJ and Airbus A.319 has been repainted in the iconic ‘red square’ scheme.   This is a screen printed decal, and is expected back from the printer late April 2019.    BA could not paint the upper wings the standard BEA red due to “paint reflectivity requirements” (whatever that means, for once Google was useless), so the 1:1 has standard grey upper wings.  But that won’t stop a modeller for long….

Many of you will remember Liveries Unlimited (aka Airways Graphics).  After producing art under contract for other brands, ‘Made on a Mac’ returns under his own brand name – fündekals.  It’s good to see his excellent artwork skills again!  He probably won’t be quite as prolific as he was, but what he does bring us we know will be first class.

fündekals has gone all out on these first sheets.  Each of the Ilyushin 62 sheets provides elements for multiple livery versions.  The instruction sheets (yes, sheets, plural) are a work of art.  In addition to windows and door details, a host of small detail decals are included.

Arriving this week will be the following:

  • FunD-14001 McDD C-17A Globemaster III USAF, NATO, Kuwait Air Force, UAE Air Force, Qatar Imiri Air Force, Indian Air Force

Clearance Sale for older Vintage Flyer Decals

$

Some time ago, Vintage Flyer changed their print process, introducing what they describe as Digital Precision Silkscreen 2 (DPS2), replacing their previous laser print process.  At the time I had considerable stocks of the older decals, which I continued to offer identified as “-X” sheet numbers.

The primary improvement offered by the DPS2 sheets is the ability to overlay colours more accurately, eliminating the need to print white “masking” elements as separately printed and applied decals.   The artwork and color accuracy of the older decals were never an issue, they are excellent decals.

The change-over to “DPS2” occured at at sheet 97 (the Braniff Convair 340), all sheets after this one are only available as DPS2.  So the “pre-DPS2” sheets are sheet 001 (Western Airlines 737-200) up to 096 (Pan American L.1049 Super Constellation).

I have slightly changed the product codes for these older decals, with the objective to make them easier to locate.  The DPS2 versions of Vintage Flyer decals will continue to be identified by “VFDxxx-yyy” sheet numbers (where the xxx identifies the scale, yyy identifies the decal), and the older sheets by “VFXxxx-yyy” sheet numbers.

This week I have completed a full inventory of these remaining decals, and have further reduced their prices.  I have updated the estore with quantities of each remaining.  If you can add it to a cart, it is in stock.  Once sold out, I will be deleting the “VFX” sheets from my site.

This week I received the sad news that on May 17th 2019 Leonardo Prado Simoes, the owner of LPS Hobby in Brazil has passed.

Leonardo produced a range of decals focusing primarily on Brazilian subjects, but with other very interesting aircraft as well.  Just this week I received my order of his most recent releases.  As always, good subjects, well printed.

AHS extends our condolences to his family and friends.  RIP Leonardo.

HAWK (by Round2 LLC) Dh.106 Comet 4 Kit

$

Round 2 LLC is a US based company that now owns the rights and moulds to Hawk, AMT, Lindberg and a few other kit brands that have long since disappeared.  They have recently re-released the Hawk Dh.106 Comet 4 kit as HL512-12.

HL512-12-DH-Comet-4-BOCA-Box-812-W

The kit itself is advertised as 1/144 scale, and is moulded in white styrene plastic with a clear cockpit piece.  I’ve not measured it, so cannot comment further on the accuracy of the dimensions.

The kit features a cabin interior, complete with seats and passengers, that can be seen by opening a 4 1/3″ long hatch in the port side of the fuselage.  Also included is a fuel tanker truck, air conditioner trolley, and an airport passenger bus.

Now….  look carefully at the box art.  See anything not quite right?  “BOCA” ???

It seems to avoid any trademark issues, Round2 made a few deliberate mistakes in the decal artwork and on the box.   It’s not a question of the original decal artists, but rather with British Airways and Mobil.  So, “BOAC” became “BOCA”, Mobilgas became “Mobile gas”, “G-ANLO” became “G-ALNO” and the BOAC “Speedbird” got slightly re-interpreted.

HL512-12-DH-Comet-4-BOCA-Decal-812-W

It should be noted that G-ANLO was in fact the only airworthy Comet 3 (a second ground test airframe was built but never flew).   As the Comet 3 and Comet 4 shared the same dimensions, the kit can be used to build either.  The 4B had a longer fuselage and shorter wings.  The 4C combined the longer fuselage of the 4B with the original wings of the 4, and added additional “slipper” fuel tanks extending from the leading edge of the wings.

A useful kit – though other than BOAC, only Aerolineas Argentinas (6) and East African Airways (3) ordered the series 4.  All surviving Comet 4 (and 4B and 4C) airframes were ultimately purchased and operated by Dan Air London (or used for spares).   The Dan Air aircraft flew in their early “white tail” scheme.
