                        Hi guys !

                        Being a child of the 50's I want to build Sky Kings UC-78 "Song Bird"

                        I have the 1/72 scale UC-78 kit.  Thats the scale I work in.

                        Any ideas/suggestions on decals.....primarily the "flying crown"....the "N" numbers and pin stripe are easy to replicate.

                        Thx

                        Wow what a flashback of nostalgia.  I fondly remember that show and as a kid watched every episode.  I tend to build kits I've seen on TV as well.  looking forward to your WIP if you post one.

                        I am still searching for the Howard Hugh's Racer that I viewed in the movie " The Aviator". I did find and build the Spruce Goose and it was a blast.

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         

                         I'm finally retired. Now time I got, money I don't.

                        There is a 1:48 kit of that, with Sky King decals.  You could build that, copying the decals before using them, then build the 1:72 version, shrink the decals in a photo editing program and print on inkjet decal stock.
