TOR,

I found a DJ B738 decal on ebay: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Boeing-737-Britannia-Lauda-Virgin-Blue-Brasil-Decals-BD144-38-1-144-/172301643342?hash=item281dfa6e4e:g:D48AAOSwG-1Wyyzb

Yeah, I know it's in Brazil, but it's not the same notorious fella. He appears reliable according to his feedback. Worth a try...

Scott.

Done!!!
Also bought some off Graeme, so I should be well-stocked with VB decals.
I have also emailed Richard re: the Tiger 737 decals.
Thanks Scotty, you have been a great help this evening. And now I have a couple more things to add to the "my latest purchase" thread :D .

Talking of helping ;)

I have long had an interest in doing a long lost scheme for an Ansett DC9 that was painted in Air Vanuatu colours, looked really cool in very bright colours, any idea where one might get that scheme :roll: :lol: :lol:

Some say that's just legend... ;)

I am now juggling it with the IPEC Argosy, the Kendell CRJ and some Qantas Sandringhams.

Scotty.....is the Kendell sheet for the BPK kit???, and what kit are you going to be recommending for the QF Sandys??
BTW, the Air Van DC-9 looks the goods and I, like Graeme, cannot wait to get my hands on a sheet or two (will it be the Airfix or Fly kit that you recommend these for???).

TOR,

The Kendell CRJ will be for both the 1/144 AWM and 1/72 BPK kits.
The QF Sandys are for a 1/72 converted Airfix - but should fit the other brands (Ed Russell has the 1/72 Sandy conversion pieces) and the 1/144 FRsin.
The Air Van DC-9 will be for the 1/144 Fly, 1/100 converted Doyusha/Nitto and 1/200 converted Hasegawa. (I may do the 1/144 Airfix later, but it'll need a rework to fit)
The IPEC Argosy is for the 1/72 Mach 2 - PLUS I am waiting on the release of the 1/144 Mikr-Mir injected kit. (I may need to get a Welsh vacform also!)

Sneak peek:

Enjoy the Brazil decals VB sheet! Usable as can be seen below!

Plus an excuse to see if photobucket works.

Yes, Gio is a wonderful graphic artist - he's just a lousy businessman!
