Have plenty of female friends...
No pre-wife, wife or ex-wife...
No children...
Don't really go to Church....so, nope!
Have great neighbours....
Far too many other hobbies....
No car...
I rent my "shagpad"...
I do hate those utility bills, they cut into my hobbies and pub bill!
No medical problems...so, nope!
Unfortunately I do have to eat....

And that, Gentlemen, is why he works in a Beer Warehouse!

I see what you mean by Rodel's 'White 8' Erich. It does look somewhat compressed, from the sides in. They are normally smaller top than bottom, or totally equal all round. Maybe the scanner?

That very well could be, Terry. I,m still playing around with my new toy and those pics may not be very representative of what they actually are.

Yes Chris; I've found on mine that, if I scan as a B&W image, or a greyscale, for some reason everything is compressed! Very strange! Because of this, I always use the 'Colour Picture' setting. Mine's a Hewlett Packard scanner BTW.

Never thought I needed to do this but ....I need a decal!

I'm looking for a straight Gruppe bar in 1/48 and BLUE. for the Me 410. goes over the white band. I have red, yellow and black but no Blue. just to complete the model. anybody? its a small thing, really. (I don't want to hand paint it!)

Thanks!

I haven't got a blue bar Chris, but I have got a blue '15', from the Tamiya Dora I'm doing. You could have the '1' figures, and trim off the top down-stroke if that's any good to you? The figure 1's measure 11mm x 2mm in 1/48th scale, which equates to 528mm x 96mm, or approximately 21 inches x 3.75 inches in full size. This would be about right for a Gruppe bar, if you made the cut along the vertical axis, getting rid of the 'arrow' part of the number, and leaving the whole length of the vertical part.
Let me know, and I'll get them off to you.
Terry.
