Ray from 26 decals is displaying something interesting on his coming soon page:
http://www.26decals.com/epages/62035508.sf/en_GB/?ObjectPath=/Shops/62035508/Categories/Coming_Soon
Is someone having some information what AIR DECAL is referring to?
Sounds very interesting…some new decaling technique?Since some time I am thinking that masks would be a great improvement to modelling,
think of a perfectly thin kangaroo mask applied to a taped Qantas tail.
You spray the red tail, peel of the mask, est voila, a perfectly white roo appears!Cheers,

www.christianklepp.comIf I interprete the sections right than the air decals are some military decals, but no clue why they are called „air“.
As for the masks (that’s why I reply) you can do something like that kangaroo mask on your own.
A friend of mine does similar stuff with a so called plotter, He offered it to me for the Qantas tail on a 747 I am doing, but I declined as the red I used Form a spray can wasn’t the best in sticking, so I didn’t want to mask further.But I used his masks for other planes and he did a fantastic Cebu Pacific A321 and a China Southern special 788 by painting the whole livery with these masks and only used decals for smaller titles.
He Scans the decals in and then that plotter can cut masks in the exact shape of the decals.

Ray’s website says quite clearly “AirDecal – Military Screen Printed Decals”. I’m not privy to Ray’s business plans but AirDecal appears to be the title of a forthcoming military series to sit alongside his airliner decals. They are presumably called AirDecal because they are to be applied to aeroplanes (or airplanes if you are American). If they were for AFVs they would probably be called TankDecal or something similar.

David you are right,

Cheers and thanks,

www.christianklepp.comDave6376 is correct.
Ray is resurrecting his screen printed ADTS military decal series. Previously he released about 36 different decals in 1/144, 1/72 and 1/48 scales, which included transports (VC-10s, C130 Hercules, Bae 146-200), bombers and in-flight refuelers (Vulcans, Valiants and Victors), plus a few fighters and helicopters.
They usually had a UK reference (RAF, RAE, Royal Flight), but a few featured other air forces (Canadian Armed Forces, Turkish Air Force come to mind). Some were re-released in his STS series (Canadian Armed Forces Hercules, RAF VC-10, RAE VC-10).
Info he relayed to me is that he expected the first releases to be available sometime in August.
