Hi all,

I'm looking for early 1/72 Thunderbirds for an F-100 or F-105.  This is a quest that I thought would be easier than it's turned out to be, I've spent many hours searching the web to no avail. Any decal sheets seem to be out of print, wrong scale or come with kits that are long oob.  The ESCI F-100 and Hasegawa F-100 and F-105 come in Thunderbirds boxings but I'm reluctant to buy on the net as there's a good chance the decals have disintergrated with age.

Any decals are welcome, I know some of the Has sheets come without the scallops but that's okay as I'll probably make masks or decals myself, although if anyones got Airdecal sheet 07A for the Hun I'll snap your hand off!  I'll also be happy to take a full ESCI kit off someones hand if the decals are in reasonable condition (they're prone to crack) as I'm sure I can use that kit for whiffery.  I'm happy to offer beer tokens or swaps.

Thanks for looking, :thumbsup:

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.

What, as in International rescue?  ;)

Now that WOULD be a different whif!

Who's a lucky boy then?  ;D

I have the Hasegawa Thunderbird F-105 kit in my Loft and the decals look pretty good, AND they have scallops too. I could scan you the sheet at high res. or print you off a copy, or any other method of reproduction that comes to mind, including lending you the sheet so you can scan and print etc.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
