Have there been any kits which featured modern (three-colour) Irish markings on their decal sheets?

I know that Scale Aircraft Modelling did a sheet in the early '80s which now goes for silly money, and I know that Max Decals in Ireland do one (currently out of print but may be reprinted before long), but for one project, and for that sort of money, I'd rather buy a donor kit and have the kit to do somethnig else with!

Weaver,

JayBee sent me some of those SAM decals a little while back, and there are lots of markings on there. If you want some of those, you're welcome to them - I'll never use them all!
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

That's very generous of you Pyro - cheers!  :thumbsup:

I only want enough for one aircraft: I don't have a particular thing for the Irish Air Corps, it's just that in the particular back-story I've come up with, they make the most sense.

Is there anything you're looking for that I could swap you?

Shot in the dark, but I don't suppose you have a set of Estonian markings, do you?

Blimey I don't think so - has anyone ever done a kit in Estonian markings?  :huh: :blink:

Blue Rider do a small sheet along with Macedonian markings:

While I was on Hannants getting the link, thought I might as well look up Irish Air Corps markings for anyone else wanting them.  Max do a comprehensive sheet, not currently available, but Hannants say a reprint is expected in 'late 2009'.

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Ah, thanks Mossie - might have to grab that sheet. :thumbsup: Maverick did a great Estonian Swordfish profile for me a while back, and I've been wanting to do it ever since but for the lack of markings.

Not to worry Weaver, just PM me your address. :)
