1/48 Scale Tamiya Decals Needed

[trainman]

Does someone in this group have an unused set of decals for a 1/48 scale Tamiya F4U-1 Birdcage Corsair they’d be willing to sell? Thank you, Pierre

I have a set a Hobby Craft decals for the Birdcage, I might have a set of Tamiya, but I have to check.

Good news bad news. The bad, my Tamiya decal set is missing the circle stars and cockpit gauges. The art, options and stars/bars are there. The Hobby craft set has circle stars. Together you have at least 5 otions for the birdcage. PM or email me your address if you're interested in them.

Later,
Joe

Hi Joe,
I appreciate you help on this, first off, this may be good news, the only item that I’m missing is the cockpit gauges (I messed up) I have the rest of the decal sheet. If you can spare the cockpit gauges that would be great. Thanks, Pierre

Might want to reread his post, specifically this part:

If you're looking for just pre painted gauges to use, there's the excellent Color Zoom set by Eduard. Around $10.00.

Or if you really just need/want gauges, you can find a photo and print them out and glue them in with a drop of Elmer's Glue or Future.

The kits gauges are decent enough too. A painting them up and a little dry brushing makes them look sharp.
