RAF Vosper...Not really a model.
« on: November 18, 2020, 06:11:18 PM »
Hello all,
Hope I don't upset anyone by posting this.
My friend asked me if I could repaint his Old RAF Vosper Dinky Toy for him. As I'm waiting to get all the stuff together that I need to start the 'Lanc', I said yes.
However, I wont be able to save the transfers (stickers) on the toy. I wondered if any of you chaps could help me. I have taken some pictures with a ruler next to the stickers for some scale.
Thanks all,
Andy.
Andy

Hi Andy,
You are welcome to look through my decal bank to see if there is anything to fit the bill.
Have roundels, and some lettering but maybe not the correct size, style.
Get in touch if I can help.
Cheers,
Bigkev
I hope my next is always better

I think I've got some clear decal sheet if you want to go down that route.
I'll have a look if you wish.

Thank you both very much.
Tony, I will take Kevin's offer as I have never used the clear decal sheets before but thanks for the offer.
Kevin, I will give you a shout when I've finished painting it. The stickers don't have to be exact just near enough.
Many thanks.
Andy.

You may find this photo interesting. It shows how the Dinky Vosper was originally packaged along with other similar items, presumably several of the hulls were the same.

So that's why you call him "Dinky Bill" -- hohohohho - sorry Bill could not resist it.

Sorry, you are all wrong! I may have many collections but Dinky Toys are not one of them!

Thanks, I needed some photos.  The one I'm doing has the dingy and deck gun missing. Apparently, there is someone online who recreates them with a 3D printer.
Cheers All,
Andy.

if you can't get what you want from Kevin you can have a look at what I've got.
