Sworl decals? does anyone make them?

albatros1234 · 26 December 2009, 08:20 AM

I have a blue max albatros DIII (austrian) coming in this week I want to do a 153 or 253 with the sworl paintjob. Does anyone know of any 1/48 decals of this or do I have to handpaint it?

Doug Bauman posted some in one of his "Lozenge Decals For All"threads. You'd have to search, but it's there somewhere on this forum.

Hi,

Mike Grant does (did?) some A-H sworl decals in 1/72 and 1/48. These appeared a couple of years ago but I had to advise him of the their (originally) incorrect dimensions, that he promptly corrected - they are now spot-on for size. They are produced so that the modeller has to provide a base coat of buff/unbleached linen to get the final colour pattern.

Cheers,

GrahamB

Doug can I pay you to make me some and ship them to me, also I'm looking for some avaitik DI/DII hex decals, can you make both of these for me in 1/48? I'd pay whatever you'd ask within reason,not $100 or something but you know, so it would be worth your effort. I don't have a printer or any way to make decals from a file.

albatros1234 · 26 December 2009, 06:32 PM

don't you make and sell lozenge too I'll buy some of those too if it helps you inspire you to do them for me.Also I had an idea, I know that they are making fokker streak camo now, what about tough camo jobs like spad camo as a decal, that five color scheme is a bitch to mask and paint but if there were decals made to fit say an eduard 1/48 spad XIII then you throw on the roundels and such and call it a day, other camo patterns too could be produced as a large sheet and you could cut out what and where you need to cover your plane.even WW2 camo schemes. Its an idea.

Doug Baumann · 26 December 2009, 08:23 PM

yes i sell all of the lozenge and hex como! i have made them for people who don't have printers or just do want to print them there selfs
