Hi ..

Go to Black Lion decals themselves, I have bought decals from them direct and I have had no problems with postage to the UK, fairly quick too .. great guys to deal with .. !. I recommend them ..

I also agree with you in your post above .. "Who exactly are MW and can some one point me to the right site please so we can look at the etch " .. ??

Regards

Pete ..

MW is Military Wheels, it's the first time I've seen them do just an etch set though. Tracks and Troops have them you can find it here:

I'd also agree about going direct to Black Lion, Michel is a good guy and will help you out he'll probably be at the On Track show if you're going. �

PDA · Legend

As Bern says, Black Lion Decals will be at the On Track Model Show, March 1st,�if you don't want to do things through the post:

Quite a few others will be there too.

RCD · Lieutenant-Colonel

Thank you gentlemen for the information - much appreciated.

TeeELL · General

Even that etch has the same error as Master Box! The number of rivets on the rectangular bracing plate is incorrect and should be 7 ( rear right to front left) and 13 (rear left to front right) counting the centre rivet in each case. There should also be a mirror image bottom plate. The 13 rivet diagonal is that which is cut to fit. Sorry.

Hi!
Unfortunately decal for MK-I of Black Lion is very simplistic and not accurate.
�We are currently developing a special decal set for tanks from the Master Box tanks including Palestine tanks, MK-II, MK-III and Supply.
I hope, that it will be ready no later than a month.
�Here are its preliminary design:

Thank you for the correction, Valeriy67.

TeeELL · General

Is there any way it might be possible to have the retailer correct the rectangular bracing plate before going into full scale production. It is such a shame for the etch to be spoilt by an error. I know it is, maybe, nitpicking but I'll not be the last to mention the rivet count.

i don't have the original photo to hand, but it can be viewed on the 'Building the Master Box Mk1 tank' thread. �I will also post once again when I have access to my original photo. �Don't spoil 'the boat for a h'peth of tar'.

Let me see if these 2 photos are clearer

The rivets should be thus:

when they are available it will be essential to know where we can get hold of them!�

A set of MkIV would also be useful including a supply tank.

�I also like to have one set of decals !!!

Alpha Six · Lieutenant-Colonel

Thanks for your feedback! I will let you know when the decal is ready.

TeeELL · General

I have taken the liberty of sending details to Nira Hobby of the error in their Part No 5 (the rectangular bracing plate) as they have made the same error as MB. 9 rivets in both directs (centre included), rather than 13 / 7 as per the only surviving tail unit at Bovington.

That's it - off to Gatwick and away to Cuba now!!

I just ordered a set of the Black Lion ones from them - got them in less than a week

Great War Truck · Brigadier

What is or was "Otazel"? I have seen that painted on a Thornycroft J Type.

Alpha Six · Lieutenant-Colonel

Hello, Otazel is one of Gaza Mk-Is. I saw its photo here on forum.

PDA · Legend

Otazel was the name of one of the Mark I tanks in Palestine. It is a pun, meaning "Hot as Hell".

Great War Truck · Brigadier

ah yes, of course. Thanks.

Eric · Colonel

Hello,

Anybody knows if somebody released or will release brass barrels for the Mark I male ?

Alpha Six · Lieutenant-Colonel

TeeELL · General

It is at this point I go and bash my head against a brick wall, having made 'Oh, I SAY !!!' for my tank.

Eric · Colonel

Very nice !!!

Is it possible to place an order ? What is the price ?

All the very best,

TeeELL · General

I too would be in line to order your decals. UK source or EU please.

Alpha Six · Lieutenant-Colonel

Thank you all for interest, decals will be for ordering, as I hope, no more then through 4 - 5 weeks, after readiness of instructions.

But if you do not want to wait, you can order without instruction, because, as I'm sure it's not necessarily for Landships2 modellers ))

Write me your address and required quantity at ddecal@yandex.ru
Pay will be after receiving on the Pay Pal account

Prise is 3.70 Euro for one without instrucnion and 3 Euro for international shipping.
Sorry for bad English ))
