Title: 1/32 Noop Decals
Post by: uncletony on February 21, 2013, 11:15:46 AM: Rowan, have you considered offering any decals for any of the 1/32 Roden Noops? I have the 24bis kit; the kit seems like it has potential to make a nice model, but I'm not particularly crazy about the kit schemes -- and the Roden decals don't <ahem> have the greatest rep...

Just wondering :)

Now that sounds good, national markings included, then I may even get that half started Academy N.17 back on the bench.

I like the sound of the "combo" sheet. And yes Keith, please do finish your 17; once it's done WNW are sure to release one!
Cheers,
Lance ;)

Post by: rowan broadbent on February 28, 2013, 07:37:19 PM: Yes, OK. I'm getting the message. ::)....... .. . .. ... .

I have some drawings and preliminary work done for Nieuports, as it has always been my intention to cover them. I just need to recover some expenditure from sales of the recently announced and released sets before I launch off into any new ones.

Something few others comprehend is the glacial nature of decal sales (after the initial launch numbers) :'( and the consequent time it takes to recoup the printing outlay :'( :'( :'( (paying me for the time invested is very much a secondary target and one which often goes unachieved! :( ). Such production costs must be paid as soon as the work is done, but the recovery can take (on current showing) four or more years of sales. I'm hoping that the website will give our sales a boost and await its arrival with thinly veiled (if veiled at all) impatience!!

I'm contemplating some sort of subscription deal for the future, which will directly relate firm buying intentions to break-even costs for some of the less popular subjects. This will go some way to solving this conundrum but must await the website before we can pursue it further.

Please don't let the above discourage you - I welcome indications of interest such as this thread ;D!!

This might be somewhere already, but where can I find a list of what you have available? I'm keen on that Bavarian Albatros DV set - still available?

Drop us an email at :

and we'll send you a full list of what's available.
