Allan, lovely Dak, unusual markings for us Yanks, and welcome. So many markings, so little time, says I. Money for plastic, as well.
Where can I get Roo Decals?
Allan J Withers said on May 14, 2016
Thanks Bernard, I just did a quick search and it would seem we can no longer get Roo decals unless you’r lucky and find some old stock, I will keep looking.

Allan, just my luck!
I have one of their earlier sheets, the one with all the roundels and titles on it. Think it was the first one they did. I stumbled on it at a show, ’cause we don’t see sheets like that all that often.
Like a lot of my collection, I wonder if it will still work?
Thanks for looking.

I have had trouble with them cracking, I use Microscale liquid decal film, helps most of the time.

Hello Allan,

Really enjoyed the colorful machine.

Thanks George, working on it.

Great finish Alan. I’ve been tempted to grab the Red Roo conversion for the ANARE aircraft. The NMF, silver white and dayglo orange really set it off. You’ve done a great job on yours.
Cheers, Mick

Thanks Michael, I also am tempted.
