Thanks for the heads up. I actually got a hold of this guy and he is willing to send me the decals FREE! What he does is trades, collects and ships older decal, some used, to modelers in need. He is located in the UK, but was nice enough to send me the ones I was looking for. I will be sending him any and all left over decal sets when I get a good collection. It is the least I could do for him.

It might be a good thing for those of us modeling on this side of the pond. I might pick his brain to see how he started it.

I don't even know how these guys will turn out. They are Starfix Kits (which are not the best) we will see.

Don't give up on not being able to source F-5 decals. With new kits of the subject due to release this year, many of the decal producers will create new and release old sheets to go with the new and old kits.

Aerospace Modeler Magazine is featuring a comprehensive article on the T-38/F-5 family in the next issue (#11) which is in layup now.

"Decal Bank?"
Posted by STFD637 on Saturday, January 2, 2010 12:13 PM

Has anyone ever heard or used the "decal bank?" I was looking for some F-5E "aggressor" decals and it seems the only ones out there for 1/72 are Microscale (which doesn't exist anymore). While doing a web search I came across a web site with the title above....I t was more like a thread posting. The have several older decals listed, including the ones I am looking for. It would appear that these are all the "left over" decals from other kits and ones that weren't used on the sheet.

Just seeing if anyone has heard of this. Also if you know where I can find these sheet I would be greatful! Just scored a F-5E and T-38 off ebay for $3.25 and would like to do them as "Agressors."

Thanks
