Can't find Zero and Sabre sheets. It's crazy, I say!
I desperately need AM sheets for Hasegawa's A6M3 Type 22 Zero and their F-86F-30 Sabre, and you would think EVERYBODY would make sheets for these aircraft. But no. Admittedly, I specifically need a Sabre squadron with the checkered tail from Korea, because I have to use dry transfers for that part, so it narrows my options, but I keep going through on-line catalogues and fining "out of print" on all of them. And for the Zero, there is nothing. Zilch. This too is a kit that will be using a lot of dry transfers, and I need some nice, thing AM decals to go with the thinnest of the thin, said dry transfers.
Here I have this decal stash full of expensive sheets of the "What was I thinking?" variety -- how many Me-262's was I planning to build. So far, none. But if I want to build ten, I have the Eagle Strike sheets in pristine condition. And, ironically, I have checker tail F-86 in there...a D model by Superscale.
Same with PE sets. What was I thinking? It's not like I can afford to be buying these things I'll never use, but I love pulling them out and looking at them.
Any suggestions out there? About the decals, I mean.
