Hi group members, I was in Switzerland on vacation and have bought this decal on a garage sale. I still have never seen it before. Does anybody of yours know...
Wolfgang, This American Airlines decal may have been in a Swissair CV-990 kit as alternative markings, neither John Burns nor Thomas Graham seem to have a AA...
Hi Wolfgang, WOW, what a find!! Could you provide a scan of the backside of the decal? That may help shed some light on exactly what it is. Thanks, Mike V. ......
Cool! It sure looks like a Revell decal, what with the one for the stand. I have seen other AA, but never a Revell! I wonder if it was a European release only?...
Speaking of the Republic Rainbow, I remember seeing a vac-form kit of it years ago. Does anyone have the info on that vac-form? Thanks, Evan Michael Bludworth...
Rick - Many thanks, I'd be most grateful. Can you let me know how much, including postage to the UK, and your address, and I'll send $ cash. My address is: ...
Wolfgang - I think this is from the US issue of the Revell CV-990 kit. Very rare, most of these are in Swissair livery. Bill SOU ... From: Wolfgang Perez To:...
... Speaking of rare, I happen to know for a fact that our resident Corel Draw miester Wolfgang has the original artwork and a great sense of humor......
I'm on cloud 13 with the find of this decal; because of the tan coloured decal paper, I'm almost certain that this is Lodela. Lodela DID announce an AA 990,...
Wolfgang, you sneaky man!! I'm glad I'm not losing it. Thanks, Chris ... Lodela ... may ... obviously. ... their ... And ... CLOSE ... from '64 ... any ... ...
In addition, if the AA 990 by Lodela WAS issued, it was not until later, and it would NOT have had the "Revellving Stand" decal. Good one Wolfgang, had me...
In keeping with Wolfgang's penchant for April fools jokes, this box art is actually a "Half-truth". In the photos section, I posted his art for this kit, which...
The thing to do here will be to come up with "Proper" AA eagles, then reduce the size of the decal slightly to fit the Welsh model. Then finish the kit in...
I can attest that Lodela did not issue a Revell Coronado 990 of any sort from 1962-1967, nor did I see one in March 1983, July 1988, or March 1989. The ones I...
... Bill The X-5 kit is on the way to you. Please accept it with my cordial best wishes and many thanks for your years of writing your column in Air...
I bought mine in Houston around 1977-78 for $14.95. Griffin company's REPUBLIC XF-12 Rainbow. I have about 25 vacuforms I am keeping until an affordable...
Is it 1/72 or 1/48? I remember seeing one at Hobbies West built up and it looked big enough to be 1/48. I suppose I can find out in my PAK-20.... MJB ...
Finding my decals, I note Steve's notes that he recommended the Airfix or MPC 1/72 DC-3, the Entex or IM 1/100 DC-3, the Hawk C-131 (as a CV-240), and the...
The PAK-20 shows that Griffin, Combat and White Eagle all had 1/72 versions. Collect-Aire had a 1/48 issue - I bet it's hard to find! Michael Bludworth...
I only buy 1/72 for military, unless it is a rare 50s missile kit or X-plane not available in 1/72! It is 1/72. Is it 1/72 or 1/48? I remember seeing one at...
The reply to my message got mixed in with someone elses, I'm not the one with the list of vacforms. Though I may find myself putting such a list together in...
I'd be very glad to see your list of vacforms. I do make these if there isn't an injection kit of a type I want - I actually prefer them to resin. Do you give...
Rick - How very kind. It's amazing how many people remember those old articles. It was 1971 when I stopped writing them! Bill ... From: "Rick Lundin"...
Stumbled across this listing on Ebay. $124 currently with 6! days to go. Box art is great but I don't think the plastic would be as good. Ken 60s Aurora...
Most of my vacuform disposals are airmodel from West Germany, which are very basic, usually requiring props, landing gear, and decals. I do have a few...
