FCM decals Albatros D.III/Va 1/32
« on: May 25, 2012, 12:18:23 PM »
G'day.

http://lepidoptera.datahosting.com.br/fcm/escala/1-32

I spotted these on ARC and thought they may be of interest.  I really like the Bavarian lozenge scheme for a Jasta V D.III, but there's some other interesting markings as well. 

Has anyone used FCM?  Are they any good?

Cheers.

They have been around for a few years now. A long while back I got some 1/72 Alby decals from them as they had some interesting markings. The only thing I recall was that the carrier film was quite thick, but maybe that has been fixed now?

The carrier problem was fixed. FCM decals are now printed by Microscale, if I´m not mistaken.

Thanks for the info, Gents.  I'll be placing an order.

FCM, the decals are on your site.  Are they available now?

Cheers.

Thanks, FCM.  I saw the "COMING SOON" but wanted to check (yes, sometimes "Impatient" is my middle name).  I'll keep and eye out at Hannants and SB. 

So, any plans for some more WWI sheets?  :D

Cheers.

These look great. I searched everywhere for the Voss "Heart and Laurel" fuselage marking in 1;32 for my Roden DIII; now a year and a half later here it is! May have to build a second kit! I'll be watching the FCM site for availability; Thanks for bringing this up and I too would like to know about any future planned releases. I'll keep an eye on Hannant's and S.B.'s as well.
Cheers,

  FCM,
Excellent news I'm glad you'll soon be printing your outstanding decals once again.
Highest Regards,

PS: Your test of Rumey's stripes look very promising.

Very nice to see some options for a non WNW 1/32 kit - they look great and will be a must buy for me.

If you create any new subject decal sets please consider some markings for the 1/32 Nieuport 17, SPAD XIII or Sopwith Camel from Hobbycraft/Academy - there is a real shortage of decals for those kits.

I think Eduard bowed out of WWI kits didnt they? There are still some in the catalogue but theyre not doing any new releases let alone 1/32...as nice as that would be....

True, true but both Roden and WNW have got things on the horizon.

Very nice, and I do happen to have a WnW DVa in my stash. I'm off to have a look at your site.

Cheers,

Do you have a list of shops that will be stocking these?
