Help fiinding 1/72 P-38 decals
Posted by prush on Monday, November 14, 2011 4:48 PM

I posted this in the "Aircraft form, before I saw this formConfused

I seem to be coming up empty,, finding what I am looking for, so I am hoping you guys can help me.


I need decals (other than what comes in the kit),, for (2)Academy P-38s, 1/72 scale. European Theater.

I am builing 2 birds

I need decals that work for the OD paint scheme.

Actually, I found some reviews for some that I like....(TALLY HO 172-049), but evidently the Tally Ho decals are not available anymore.

Thannks for any help

Phil

Are these the Tally Ho ones you mean.

Hannants has 11 but they are Limited Availability. Might be worth a search where you are.

thanks for the help, but those are not the ones I need.

 

I have been searching all day longSuper Angry, but havent found the ones I want.

 

Those are #72037 but I am looking for 72049. I searched that site, and they dont have them available either.

Its also not so secial that I have the Tally Ho decals. I am looking for European birds with the OD paint scheme, and perhaps with INVASION STRIPES>

 

Just seems to hard to find in 1/72,, or maybe i am just looking in the wrong places.

 

thanks Phil

P-38 decals do seem a bit rare. I recall a couple of guys had problems finding markings for the Mighty 8th GB i hosted. I see Hannants only has 12 sets. But did you see the Superscale set, 72867. That has one OD P-38, though it doesn't have invasion stripes. I think its the only one that seems to come close to what you are after.

That is definately something I can work with.

 

Of course, there is always the decals that came in the box as a fall back.

 

thanks

I am not sure how easy Superscale decals are to get hold of where you are (i assume the USA) I thought they had gone out of buisness until recently. But there is a site in the US that has them.

I bought a set a few weeks ago and the service was great. He may have those decals.
