I've read snippets of information that the following decals are to be reproduced/reissued? Can anyone confirm WHEN and WHERE they will be available? I've searched the web (including looking at/for the Gekko Graphics website) and so far have turned up nothing (other than previous sales on eBay and TradeMe?).
The decals I'm after are the following;
RNZAF A-4G/K Skyhawks GG48-001 (Part 1)
RNZAF A-4G/K Skyhawks GG48-002 (Part 2)
Designed for the Hasegawa 1/48 scale A-4E/F kit
Maybe if Richard Chafer gets to read this entry he might like to provide some information on this subject (confirm or deny the rumours)?
I'd appreciate ANY help or information relating to this subject.

I have been assisting Richard with photos for a new decal sheet, which will include the "final day" decals for those aircraft that flew at Ohakea on 13 Dec 01 and one or two other oddball schemes and markings not seen before. He is also updating the existing Part 1 & 2 sheets based on new information that has come to hand since he did the first release. I believe the first sheets to come out will be in 1/72, with 1/48 to follow. Richard would be the best person to tell us what his timetable is though.

I have been in contact with Richard now and the posting above is correct (according to the e-mail I received). The 1/72 scale decals will arrive first followed by Part 3 of the 1/48 RNZAF A-4G/K Skyhawk series. No firm timeframe was provided but Richard did intimate that these releases should be by the end of the year?
I hope this helps?

Out of interest does he do other sheets other than RNZAF Skyhawks? Also, how much are these two decal sheets from him?

Hello Dave
I believe Richard is also working on a set of 1/72 scale decals for RNZAF Skyhawks (next release) which will be followed by the third sheet in the 1/48 range?
It might be best if you e-mail Richard directly if you have specific questions?
gekko@aandr.com.au
I hope this helps?
