    Any ideas?

    I am not sure whether this is the best place to post this. Anyway...

    After my P40 I think I will start my Tamiya 1:32 Mustang.

    I want to complete it in RAF colours as either a MkIV or MkIVa.

    I have obtained some aftermarket decals but I am not particularly happy about the options.

    I would prefer a 112 Sdn aircraft with the famous sharks mouth. I am doing my P40 as a 112 bird and these kites were replaced by Mustang and I would like both types displayed as 112.

    I can put together codes etc from aftermarker decals but I cannot find the distinctive sharks mouth for a 1:32 scale Mustang.

    Does anyone have a solution they can suggest? Is there a decal set that I have not been able to locate perhaps?

    I would be grateful for any suggestions.

    Barry

      Hi Barry,

      You could always buy decal film and make your own. I'm currently doing 1/48 P-40 AVG which has the old sharksmouth and I'd be happy to scan it and send you the image to work from.

      Kind Regards

      Chris

          Never tried that kind of thing Chris - might give it a go. Please do, many thanks...

              I just did an internet search and ended up finding some 112 sqn decals but for the earlier Mk III Mustang. I assume that the nose section of the MkIII and MkIV were identical so the sharks mouth might be used for either type. I will have to check the codes etc for interchangeability but I do not see that as a problem because RAF codes and markings are generally well catered for.
