Dragon markings

Do you have a picture of what kind of thing you would like?

Do you have a picture of what kind of thing you would like?

Unfortunately, no.  What I visualise is a dragon, in green or at a pinch red, stretching the length of the fuselage, with its jaws open, spewing fire.

I'm presently looking around to see what is on the web but haven't really found anything that strikes my fancy.

I see to remember a Korean War USAF machine with something similar on its fuselage.  F-86?

Would you like me to see if I can come up with something like that?

Yeah, that'd be good.  Most appreciated.  I was going to contact you anyway if I couldn't find a commercial decal to cover it, to get you to print one for me so this has just shortened the process.   Its for a B-57 so I need it about ~100mm long.  Thanks.

I'll come up with a few different ones, and see what you like!

Don't know how I forgot that one. F-86F "The Huff". the option is included in Airfix's recent Sabre kit:

Are these any good to you?

Pretty good but I really would prefer one with a straight, outstretched neck.   Alternatively a stretched version of this Chinese Dragon would be good:



What ever happened to the poster who used to draw all the dragons?   He'd be able to draw one like I'm after...

I remembered another (rather weird) option: there are 1:6 scale tattoo decals for large scale figures available, and I used a rather large dragon decal on a resin figure some time ago. I have no clear shot at the dragon on the left leg, it's probably 7cm long, all in all, and IIRC comes from a small German decal manufacturer, sold through ebay. Don't remember the name at the moment, but a search on evilbay for 1:6 tattoo decals might turn up something useful?

Ah, got a flashback: it's a sheet from Peddinghaus Decals, this one here:

That'd be RussC.
