Ritchie decal

Thanks guys.

Cutting Edge makes the sheet in all three scales. The numbers are 32-004, 48-014, and 72-016. This is for the a/c with tail codes OY 67 463 (a/c 66-7463). you can find them at www.meteorprod.com. As a side note, I knew Chuck DeBellvue while I was stationed at Seymour Johnson airplane patch. He was Ritchie's backseater and the leading USAF Ace of Vietnam, and please don't start the "pilot Ace" stuff. He was just as involved with shooting 6 jets down as his pilots were . He was the Asst. Deputy Commander of Maintenance at the time.

I forgot:

An option, if you can't find the decals commercially or in the right scale is to have custom decals made. I used Mike Grant at www.mikegrantdesign.com. He can work off photos, custom art work, etc. He did a beautiful job on my uncle's B-24, The Chambermaid.

Another option, if you can find the decals, but just not in the correct scale, is to scan them, blow them up or reduce them to the desired scale and print them on laser decal paper. Try www.beldecal.com or tangopappadecals.com. for laser paper. I tried the inkjet papers and could not get them to work. The laser paper is pretty slick. Only hitch is you need access to a color laser printer or a Kinko's, etc. that will do the copying. I've heard some of the walk-in printers won't work with decal paper?

Hope this helps.

Here's what I found searching www.google.com. I didn't notice if they are still in produciton. I also searched eBay. Nothing was listed for sale.

1/72 - Cutting Edge
1/72 - Superscale
1/32 - Eagle Strike (listed as out of production)

Good hunting.....
