Title: How about a Dolphin sheet?
Post by: coyotemagic on December 05, 2017, 03:26:39 AM
Well, Rowan, what do think?  A 1/32 Dolphin sheet soon?
Cheers,
Bud

Indeed Rowan, worthy of consideration, and a place to put that 1 Squadron Canadian Air Force green maple leaf logo you've recently thought of! 8)

Hello Bud & Lance:

Yep; been on this today: Two sets coming, probably seven or so on each. Profiles will be revealed soon and after I get a kit for tailoring the turtle deck checks, we can probably get to the printers for delivery quite early in the new year. Much else on the go still for Camels, Belgian SPADs and Dr.Is, of course. Slight delays caused by radiotherapy treatment which has sapped a lot of my energy - so not the most wide awake chap in the Auvergne at the moment, but yes, we'll be there with some 19 Sqn Dolphins, the last prototype (with wood...) and 1 Canadian Sqn - of course - and lots of others. Glad to see that WNW did your Great Uncle proud - you must be chuffed!

An excellent choice of subject from the Wingnut crew!

Hope you get to feeling better rowan.
I'm in for a Canadian one. Also saw one with a clover leaf that looked interesting.

Bud,

Am finally catching up after reviewing the WNW Dolphin Instructions where they mention your Uncles' a/c having red white blue on the wheels, they say a photo shows this but did not include it in the instructions or in the archive photo section.  Do you have such a picture family stories  or your thoughts ?

Thanks for the good wishes fellers - I'm feeling pretty good all round, and very positive, just fatigued due to the x-rays zapping my brain - now that course of treatment has finished I should start to feel less knackered, they tell me. The medics seem pretty positive about their ability to kill the secondary tumours and leave the good bits of my brain - such as they are - unaffected. We'll know how well they've done in two or three months.

This Dolphin announcement really cheered me up no end!

Bud and I just talked by phone, picture is in the Ospery #48 Dolphin and Snipe Aces Book , middle of page 65. Note also that it has the late style radiator that WNW shows only for scheme E

Just had to dip my oar in here, Rowan, to say thank you yet again for your support of the Canadian Mafia vis-a-vis the Dolphin, and to wish you and Sabine the best of Christmas and the New Year.  Sharon and I hope that you will soon be over the medical challenge soon. The very best of good luck to you and Sabine from the two of us!  8)

Sounds like you have a very positive attitude about your recovery Rowan. All of my best to you. Of course NO Dolphin sheet would be complete without at least one 19 squadron bird....right  ;D

Hello Rowan:

Yes best wishes and God Speed on your recovery and treatment, thoughts and prayers as you go through this ordeal.  As the "Yank" in the Canadian Mafia I too am looking forward to your Dolphin sheet with the 1 Sqdn CAF especially and the others you mention in your post.   The Dolphin release by WNW has certainly caused no small amount of "mayhem and excitement" in the modeling community, personally, I'm "Chuffed."  ;)

Though not quite interested in the topic (WNW satisfied my need for my chosen Dolphin scheme) I would like to join all those wishing you speed and full recovery. All the best to you!

Just need a modified cowl and to stick a Wolseley Viper in the front and it opens up a few options for Dolphin IIIs... may not be a difficult conversion  8)

As others above, best wishes for continued speedy recovery Rowan.

This is no time be ill, man!  ;)
Christmas and Dolphins and many fans of your decals to attend to.
Hope your health continues to improve. V
\ery much looking forward to the Dolphin decs. As you know, one of my very favourite aircraft. Any Aussies aces? "Gerry" Pentland, Henry Larkin  (both 87 Sq)?

All the best to you and Sabine.

Again I hope your recovery is quick and I thank you for all you do for us! The 19 Squadron offerings will surely fit my bill. As I build at a snails pace I am sure the decals will be available before I am ready  ::) My 3 top choices are all flown by Canadian Pilots  8)

Thanks again for all the encouragement on the health front - it really means a great deal.

According to parcel tracking, my Dolphin has landed in France (probably having an oil change and adjustment  to the synchronisation gear  at St.Omer...) and should be here on Wednesday! I should then be able to get the decals away by the end of the week and post details of the two sets for pre-order on the website and on here. There will be eight options on Vol 1 and ten on Vol 2.

Rowan, just a thought on the Belgian Camel roundels. Should the central.black be smaller? Perhaps do roundels with 2 types of central black?
