Air America Aircraft 1/72 scale Decals
Posted by rcthefox on Wednesday, November 2, 2016 6:32 PM

I am a 1/72 scale aircraft modeler who is 70 years old. My dad and I built mt first when I was 5. A Revell Battleship Missouri. I have a large collection of magazines and books Over 2000) I have cataloged for building references. I would like to start a series of Air America aircraft and helo from the Vietnam era. i.e. C-46,HU-1D,C-123, etc. I need the blue & white "AirAmerica" titles and handed American Flags. Anyone have a source? All I can find is ONE 1/48 scale sheet.

Hi Fox and welcome to the forum!

I just did a quick internet search and found that Mike Grant Decals has a set of 1/72 Air America decals.  Also, it looks like right here on our very own FSM forums, there was an Air America group build a couple of years ago.

This might help get you started as well.  

I hope that helps and, once again, Welcome Sign

Hello!

Revell has brought out an excellent 1/72 C-54 and Hannants has a decal sheet for it. One of the (last) options is an Air America bird:

By the way, I'd love to build some Air america birds, too. While the choppers were pretty colourful, those old transports are real sleepers - bare metal with just small inscriptions - I mean I wouldn't expect anything else from a top secret operation!

Good luck with your builds and please post some pictures! Have a nice day

Paweł
