Look who's back ... Pheon Decals
« on: October 14, 2023, 05:04:32 AM »
Pheon Decals is joining the Aviattic.com line-up
Inspired not only by concern that it would be sad to see valuable goodies for early aviation modelers disappear … but also by way of tribute to Rowan Broadbent to continue his legacy ... something he has been passionate about all his life despite medical grievance. Over the last months we have been working with Sabine to arrange sth she feels comfortable with so we are happy to have her blessing.
Starting now, all sets which are not out-of-production are available for preorder and October dispatch. That’s close to 60 SKUs (30 1/32s, 22 1/48s and 6 1/72s). Whereas Sabine still needs to confirm actual quantities, I know for one that for some of them there were only a few left. An opportunity to grab your chance.  Upload of visuals & descriptions for several SKUs are still in the works.

Available here

Further and beyond, we will also be looking at options for reprinting the OOPs although that’s not a guarantee nor a promise. (yes yes, I know … those Belgian Camels ;-))

Happy to see though I am disappointed that the Halberstadt Cl.II late did not make the cut.

I will be visiting Sabine to discuss next steps, not only about re-releasing existing OOPs, but also to see what can be done about unfinished work (such as indeed the two Halberstadt sets 32078 and 32079)

 Are there any plans to reduce the artwork of some of the 1/32nd scale sheets to 1/72nd and 1/48th scale?  This would make sense as kits are readily available in the smaller scales.

I'll second the vote for 1/72nd scale!  I think I got everything Rowan produced in 1/72nd except the Sopwith Tripe. :(  My fault entirely.

Nevertheless, I'm tickled pink that this line won't disappear forever. Wonderful news!

Hope this comes to pass, especially the 1/32 scale Halberstadt decals that never made it to final production before we lost Rowan.

Agreed about the 1/72 sheets.  There was one that I didn't have so I ordered it last night.  I would really, really like to see Aviattec re-release the OOP 1/72 Pheon sheets.
