Yes, they are still in business. Unfortunately, they are going through a very difficult time having experienced a family tragedy. Kevin

Beautiful prints. I've avoided printing so far this year, the thought of having to clean up another failed print outweighs any benefit I can think of. Thank you for all of the kind remarks about the models.

What Tim said. If you can find something similar to this liquid decal film you could give it a try. Unfortunately, Microscale does not ship this internationally.

Disparate and desperate. 1/200 Stalingrad airlift. Ju-52s are Zvezda models. He-111s and Ju-86s are from Armaments in Miniature. Ju-52s have markings from three different units, the Ju-86s are from the Blind Flying Schools, and the He-111s are from KG.55. Final application of pastel dust and clear coat applied today so I'm counting them as a completion for August. Now I can take off the rest of the month. Kevin

Karl, my understanding is that they're not standard markings but rather those designating donation/war bond/tribute type aircraft. Kevin PS - I was inspired by the work of Mr. Babek Amelizadeh who created Air Raid 36/46. This is a link to that site.

Thank you. It took most of the day to get the fox interested enough to finally consume the medicated morsel. This one is staying in the neighborhood but will probably not be visiting our house anytime soon. We trapped one in Feb that was in such bad shape it had to be evacuated to a wildlife refuge.

New to the store are 1/200 scale decals for the Vickers Wellesley, 47 squadron. Armaments in Miniature (AIM) produce a 1/200 scale Wellesley model. I've not seen it listed on the AIM website but if you contact Dave, the Wellesley SKU is R9-0338. I do have plans to make additional decal sheets to cover other units involved in the battles over East Africa. Decal Update: 1/144 - I've created some early drafts of images for SPAD VIIs of 77 squadriglia and 91 squadriglia. I've also started work on drafts for some French SPAD VIIs. Hu Rhu is coordinating the effort and I very much appreciate all of the work he is doing! 1/200 - Sheets for Korean War F-82s and F-94s are in the works. 1/200 - 5 sqn, SAAF, Tomahawk decals are on short final. edit AVAILABLE NOW Painting Update: Making slow progress on a mound of 1/144 Vampires and Ougrans, 1/200 He-111s, Ju-86s, Ju-52s, and a Wellesley. Neighborhood: Was able to trap a sick fox yesterday. After a day of coordination and discussions with local rehab authorities and the fox, the fox was medicated and released. With any luck, the mange will recede and the fox will be getting some relief and new fur. Kevin

I will not be shipping any decals or models 16-27 December. The webstore will be taking orders and payments. Orders will be shipped 28 December. There's always a chance that I will ship orders sooner but I wouldn't count on it. Kevin

Correct, I am not looking for print ready files.

I use the images for reference, as long as I can view the image, the format shouldn't be a problem. I prefer photos but good ones are hard to come by. Harder still is finding enough to flesh out a unit's worth of markings. Views of the sides, tops, and bottoms of the aircraft are welcome. Angled views are less helpful but of some use. I will not be printing any files that are sent as reference pictures. Written documents, that provide dimensions, colors, and other info are also great (USAF Tech Order 1-1-4 comes to mind). I got lucky on a recent book purchase (WW2 topic). The book contained narrative that included dates, air actions, squadron aircraft code and serial number combinations, some aircraft names, and a few useful pictures of aircraft names and markings. My previous internet searches yielded a couple of b/w photos and some artwork, not enough info to make a decal sheet. The following may provide some insight: I work and print in/from LibreOffice. I don't work in Corel Draw or Illustrator. As a military staff officer and civilian analyst, I worked with Harvard Graphics and Power Point. That's my graphics background. I hate making slides* but they are a necessary evil. I started Miscellaneous Miniatures as a painting service. I started making my own decals because it was very hard to find decals for the projects I had/have. Selling decals was a way to help cover the cost of the printer but soon became the focus. I use the pictures/images for reference so that I can see the colors, shape, and how it should fit, re-creating the images in Libre Office. Test print, check, repeat. Cheers, Kevin *making decal sheets is just like making briefing slides, a necessary evil.
