Just noticed thate John at Old Models Decal (NZ) has released a 1/144 sheet the JetStar Dash 8-300.

I have been in contact with him and he will do a custom sheet in 1/72 on request.

I have put in a request for one. Next print run for him is July.

So if you are interested drop John a line. The 1/144 decal is at the bottom of this page

Maybe we should do a group buy cos I'd be keen for a set

I am surprised that he didn't' make them available in 1:72 as a matter of course.

When I spoke to John and he mentioned had not done the sheet in 1/72 as there is no kit available.

I mentioned that some fuselage plugs may be made so we can build a -300 and he said he would be interested in selling them.

He also mentioned he would also upscale a couple of 1/144 ANZ sheets to 1/72 if these fuselage plugs were available.

Even without the plugs being available it would be a relatively easy "100-to-300" conversion of the existing 1:72 Hobbycraft Dash 8 kit, (after all, Knotty managed to convert the Hobbycraft kit to a Q400 ).
Anyway, I will need one or two of John's JQ Dash 8 sheets in 1:72 in any event.

I'd be up for a couple also . 300 conversion should be a piece of cake !!!

Well there is a contact from on the Old Models website. Let John know about your interest.

I've just sent an email showing our interest so we'll see what happens

And they are pretty nice models.
