Hi all

I am about to start a campaign in uk, but i have some planes without card decks ( since you can not get the ORIGINAL planes for love of money !).

I have tried to find details here but cannot, can someone tell me where i can find the card details for the RAF S.E.5a...Neuport 17....and the Sopwith pup ??

Got you covered Gary, on the way.

Hi Gary
I may have a spare deck or two knocking about - PM me if you still can't find something.
cheers

Hi Gary, download this from the files - it will give you the decks for all types - official and unofficial. If you download this from the files it will give you a breakdown of the card decks themselves.
SE5a is N deck, Nieuport 17 is I deck and Sopwith Pup is D deck.

Thanks all, have got loads of files to go through.hopefully I have what I need. Will let you know when I come up for air after reading all the bits lol/

Many thanks

My guess is, that you are building 3 Valom dual packs?

If yes, please let me know how the Nieuport goes. I am curious, as I missed out on those.

NO....strangely enough?...... Been looking at a campaign and to save money ( as I am disabled and only have a small disability pension ) I am buying SKYTREX models .
These are to make up for stuff I havnt got.

Keep us posted on your progress! Would like to see how you get on.

**Hedeby** · 11-02-2014 15:33

I may also have a few spare decks - just a thought - Gary is probably not the only chap you is searching for certain decks - why dont we start a 'Spare Decks' thread where we could all post those decks we don't need, then everyone knows where to go as/when they need one... just a thought?

**steel_ratt** · 11-02-2014 18:43

I'd say that the demand for spare decks would be enormous. I imagine that there are quite a few of us (myself included) who use alternate models and, since the deck-only products have been discontinued have no practical way to obtain official decks. (I was lucky enough to get a few booster packs when those were still available, but am still missing half the alphabet of decks.)

For those who don't read this thread it may be worth putting a request in on the U.K. sub forum Gary.
I will stick a card exchange thread if you start one for us.

You aren't the only one Gary, I'm about to go all 56 sqn, managed to get an order in before the shapeways price hike, although certain models will still work out a fiver a piece, my prob with skytrex is struts n lack of underneath detail.
Anyroad up, does anyone know of any suitable inkjet card to print the manouvre decks on? Or a retail place I can get them laser printed at?

**Rabbit 3** · 11-24-2014 03:24

Personally I just find that printing home-made cards on to regular A4 size paper, glueing the front and back together then laminating them works for me but there are a lot of other ways to do it.
Takes quite a while to do a whole maneuvre deck though and usually a whole deck runs to more than one sheet.

**Flying Officer Kyte** · 11-24-2014 12:04

I use photographic paper for the fronts and ordinary printer paper for the backs.

**Twisted_terrain** · 11-24-2014 15:02

Cheers guys, I just imagine them to be quite thick?

**Teaticket** · 11-24-2014 16:18

I use full sheet label paper for both sides and they are only slightly thicker than the originals. You can't really tell with one card but when you compare the whole decks to each otherit is slightly higher. Nothing that will effect play.

**johnbiggles** · 01-03-2015 04:33

I print a generic fields pattern on the back of a sheet of A4, print the deck I need on the other side, then Laminate and cut out
this keeps the cards the right size without needing a thin edge of laminate material as when using two sheets of paper.
