IanN Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Does anyone know a source of downloadable vintage logos - the Mercury, or Keil Kraft logos, or anything like that? Would be nice to be able to adorn these models with a close representation of any decor or markings that were provided with the original kits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bandit Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hi Ian, Just back from the dark side of middle England, won't say where that is because some members of the forum may live there . I'm not quite sure where I got them from, but I have the frog, Mercury logo's but not Kielkraft although before Christmas, I found a couple of originals in my old transfer folder along with other true originals. Tomorrow when I've suitably recovered from the trauma of visiting the dark side, and driving back along the M6 (OOOOoooops that's given the game away) I'll try to scan / copy what I have and post them for every one to use as they please. Happy new year, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IanN Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Chris, hope you made it back to civilisation ok , scans would be really useful PatMc, that's a really useful thread - loads of stuff on there that can be used for vintage builds Thanks all!!

Lee Damms Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi all, if you go to my photos and chose the album logos you can see there's keilkraft veron, frog, smae, aps, cox and mercury. I'm assuming you'll be able to download these or at least open the image and save as to your own computer. I haven't tried using these as yet but I understand places like staples do a clear film you can print on. Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanN Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Lee, yep, that works - just saved the Mercury logo Another useful source. Many thanks ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bandit Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Hi All, I had most of the ones already identified, but here's the Veron one. Hope this helps, Cheers, Chris.

Sandy Colquhoun Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 The March edition of RCME fell through the letterbox as I was hunting for decent quality lettering for my current project. On p8 in the SwitchOn column there was a mention of a new concern -Model Markings, operated by Tim Calvert([email protected]). I contacted Tim for a quote, which was quickly sent with further information relating to the original fullsize aeroplane- much appreciated, and above and beyond the call of duty. Cost is very reasonable I ordered the lettering two days ago, and the finished order arrived this morning. The material used, and the cutting are first class. Congratulations are due to Tim, and I recommend you give him a try next time you need markings or logos. By way of digression,can I point out that a flair is a talent for something, and that would apply to Tim, or a well known kit manufacturer. The final part of the approach where you give a touch of back stick to flatten out the descent, is called the flare. I invite all contributors to take this gift and use it, professionals included.

Broken Prop Posted March 2, 2012 Share Posted March 2, 2012 Thanks for the link PatMC. I got some really useful vintage logos off that thread. The links from there to other sites are worth following as well, particularly the Electric Scale thread, where I found insignia, lettering, stencils and instrument panels. Anyone going to the E. S. thread should be aware that there are 49 pages of useful information, so settle down with a brew and some chocolate digestives. You are in for a long read......

Big Bandit Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 Hi All, I've just brought some transfers for the supper 60 from this Guy Ash Glover at The Leicester Sign Company He already has most of the vintage manufacturers logo's, and has a wide modeling interest himself. His prices are very good as well. He can be contacted on 0116 2834484. Cheers, Chris Edited By Big Bandit on 04/04/2012 12:16:08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Bandit Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 A few more. Mercury Frog KielKraft gold Cox I'll give em a try on some waterslide paper latter. Cheers, Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Bandit Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Hi All, Having just tried making my own waterslide transfers for the Matador, I can recommend the stuff from here. Crafty Computer Paper The type I've used is the clear Ink Jet waterslide transfer paper and it's so easy to use. The prices are:- Clear per A4 Sheet CPJ314A £1.59 Clear per 10 Sheets CPJ314B £12.29 White per A4 Sheet CPJ 315 £1.59 White per 10 Sheets CPJ315B £12.29 Crystal clear spray lacquer CEP214 £9.21. Worth a pop with the vintage logo's I posted earlier and lettering. The lacquer is essential giving the printed paper 2 or 3 Thin coats then allowing time to dry, from then on it's just like using good old fashioned water slide transfers. Cheers, Chris.

bouncebounce crunch Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 unless going for a competition model, try painting them yourself it is only sport scale, but going for a competition model you will be better off trying to paint them yourself (catch 22)???
