DR JAY Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I was wondering if anyone in the aftermarket produced the air breather decals and 413 max Wedge decals for the valve covers. The Color me Gone sheet has 426 decals (Wrong for a 413). I am sitting down right now for a search, but any tips that cut the search time down would be appreciated.

Force Posted January 19, 2016 Share Posted January 19, 2016 I don't know of any but I would like to see an aftermarket decal set with all the decals for the Dodge and Plymouth Max Wedge and Race Hemi engines, every version had it's own decals on the valve covers, and of course the yellow and red air cleaner decals would be nice to have too so one can do a correct replica of the early to mid 60's Mopar race cars.The versions for Dodge were:Ramcharger 413, Ramcharger 426, Ramcharger 426 A, Ramcharger 426-II, Ramcharger 426-IIIThe Plymouth versions:Super Stock 413, Super Stock 426, Super Stock 426-II, Super Stock 426-III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR JAY Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 Well...I found a reasonably close representation of the air breather decal on the sheet for the Revell 1968 Charger. Lucky for me, I had a left over Charger sheet in my decal box and I had purchased another Charger kit yesterday for the chassis and suspension to go under the JoHan 62 Dart body, so I found the decal for the 2nd breather on that sheet--I figure I can modify the valve cover decals from the Lindamood Polara to the 413 version with a little paint and some engine weathering. I spent a LOT of time looking for these decals online...still haven't found any. I guess the aftermarket hasn't siezed the opportunity as Max Wedge equipped modern kits are in no way plentiful--I can only think of the one Lindberg kit off the top of my head.

Force Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Even the 426 Race Hemi had Ramcharger 426 and Super Stock 426 decals on the valve covers 1964-65. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gtx6970 Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 I think there were some 413 and 426 valve cover decals on some old Fred Cady sheets from years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Chernecki Posted January 20, 2016 Share Posted January 20, 2016 Have you tried asking Keith Marks if he would do some for you? Or scale down an image found online and have Sparetime Hobbies print it on their Alps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR JAY Posted January 21, 2016 Author Share Posted January 21, 2016 I asked Pete at Sparetime today...his scanner is at home but he would be willing to do it for me if I found no joy on my search. He has done some cool stuff for me in the past and treats me like gold as a customer. I was also able to print up perfectly sized valve cover decal replicas--albeit on paper--as a last resort. Keith Marks...well, I lent him a Johan Rebel Machine model to mock up decals a few years ago. I never got the model back and when I asked for its return, I was told that he returned it, then was told that he can't find it, then was told that someone whom I don't know picked it up from his house, then was told "I don't know what to say; it's gone."...Johan models aren't cheap--the Rebel was a Grail subject for me--The whole thing soured me on anything Keith Marks--on a personal and product level. The results of others may vary, but that was my result--which is too bad: aside from his decals needing 2 layers to prevent bleed through and being prone to chipping, they were quite good in detail.

Force Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I asked Keith about these type of decals maybe 3-4 years ago when I ordered some other decals from him, and I even sent him pictures of originals, but nothing yet.But if more people ask about them he might do them, maybe a sheet with several each of the Ramcharger and Super Stock valve cover and air cleaner decals.
