Desperately needed ASAP - Marivox Swedish Vampire F1 markings

The Wooksta! · October 25, 2023, 02:51:53 PM

Need a set of these, like yesterday. The first set disintegrated as I was finalising the Flitzer, the second set refused to come off the backing paper.

Any help out there is gratefully received.

I could maybe print some over the weekend Lee. What size are the 'crowns' etc?

It's the other bits, namely the yellow 13. I have a back up plan in case I can't get it. I'll be having another look through my decals later.

You should be able to source what you need from the Swedish Vampire FB.5 kits from Heller. I have a few you can have, if you want'em.

Oh rats, yellow is the very WORST colour for home printed decals, you'd need 4-5 layers before you could see them, sorry.

AFAIK, Heller never released a Swedish boxing, all their Vampires had RAF and French markings. Airfix late 90s release did have Swedish markings and I have a set of those but their decal quality then was iffy. Revell did two Swedish boxings of the Heller kit, but I don't have those sheets either.

I still have two options to try tomorrow. I'll come back on that offer then.

..and on top of that, the importer here added Swedish decals to the std RAF FB.5 issue, so I have a few more or less cut-up sheets that you are welcome to.

Uncle Frank came to the rescue.

Thanks again for the offers.
