  1. Gents: Don't forget Spectre Resins. Mark S.
  2. Gents: Thanks for the kind words. I'm cleaning up the typos and such on the instruction sheets. Regards, Mark
  3. Gents: Please check my post in the Jet Forum. I have three new prop subjects. The first is a MQ-9 from the 432nd Wing. Took engineering software to make this one possible. There's a FG-1D from NAS New Orleans in 1950, an aircraft that inspired a current retro scheme. The last one is a much requested T-28D from the 606th SOS, 56th SOW. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
  4. Gents: Here is the April release from Wolfpak Decals. Hope you find the subjects interesting. There are a variety of subjects from multiple eras. I would like to thank my good friend Don for the help on the F-111A that he flew. They should be available in a few weeks. Sheet 72-043 F-16C in the Charcoal Lizard scheme from Shaw AFB. F-4E from the 94th TFS while part of the 1st TFW at McDill AFB in Florida MQ-9 from the 432nd wing. Hi vis. A-4M from the Wake Island Defenders, VMA-211. RB-66B with tail turret in the SEA scheme from Shaw AFB RF-4C from the 62nd TRS once again from Sh
  5. Gents: Here's a good article on the type of reactor: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boiling_water_reactor Mark S.
  6. Gents: Thailand is a problem for me at Wolfpak Decals. Just about 3 out of 4 orders get lost and are never received by the buyer. I have been replacing them free of charge but may stop doing business in the usual way. The shipping costs quoted from Sprue Brothers are the fees associated with international guaranteed shipping. It gives the seller the documentation that the parcel has been shipped eliminating chargebacks from Paypal if the buyer doesn't get it. It's a situation beyond all of our control. The only alternative is to not process any order from Thailand and to refund the bu
  7. Gents: In every country that has had controlled markets uncontrolled (black markets) have sprung up. In these venues goods have sold for the local market price whether higher or lower than the official prices. Artificial constraints don't work. Mark
  8. Gents: Quick note. I have the MK6 weapon shapes back in stock. Mark Spectre Resins
  9. Gents: The sheets are in, website updated and buttons are hot! Mark S.
  10. Gents: A quick note. The DIRCM kits for the C-130 are back in stock. Please remember to add $3.00 for shipping. Mark S. Spectre Resins
  11. Bob: If you're going tto eat pierogi you may as well learn about drinking slivovitz! Mark
  12. Okay I got a brush and some Model Master paint. The test coupons compare from top to bottom gunshp grey to: light ghost grey, dark ghost grey, neutral grey and FS35237. I still think the relative contrast between FS 36118 and FS 35237 is closer than what I have seen in the pictures. Guess it's the 30 plus years in auto industry paint shops as an engineer that keeps me questioning it. I do think the spectral characteristics of 35237 is closer to what is in the photos than the all but possibly dark ghost grey. In absence of the T.O. or a photo with the actual govenment paint tst coupons he
  13. Keith: You'll see a few on upcoming sheets. Any in particular that you would like to see? Rank11: The lower color on the Harrier in the photos I have is definitely not FS 35237. That color is the medium blue-gray used in the F-14 TPS scheme. It's much to dark. In comparing the photos to others and looking at the contrast between it, the gunship grey and white of the landing gear it appears to be light ghost grey. I have seen some verbiage suggesting as you have the color number but it doesn't hold up well against the photograph. Mark S.
  14. Gents: Thanks to LanceB. I went with the caption from the photographer without thinking. Good catch. I'll revise the instruction sheets before I send them off to the printer and replace them in this post as well. A quick look at the instructions and the sprues of the C-27J kit I'd say that you may need to scratch build a couple of the T antennas but nothing more. BTW just got a restock of DIRCM's and they should be back on sale on the website in a day or two. Mark S.
  15. I don't know if there would be much interest in a 48th scale sheet. Yes, VMA-214 was never based at Alameda but that is where the picture that I used was taken. Should I just list their home base? Mark
  16. Gents: A couple of new decal sheets from Wolfpak: Sheet 72-041 has: a T-38C from the 469 FTS, an OA-4M from H&MS-42 in a Harrier type paint scheme, an OA-4M from H&MS-12 in the TPS scheme, a F-16C from the 134th FS, Vermont ANG, and a bevy of tankers. You have the option of three KC-135’s from the 22nd ARW, 931st ARG at McConnell AFB. One has the multi-point refueling, one is equipped with a refueling receptacle and one plain jane. Additionally there are optional markings for a KC-135R from the 916th ARW at Seymour Johnson AFB and a KC-135T from the 92nd ARW wing at Fairchild A
  17. Think you'll see the 48th scale weapons set "E" broken up into two 72nd scale releases. The first as they have already noted being an air-to-air set with ECM pods and a second composed of targeting pods and ordnance. If they follow the construct of their previous releases in 72nd scale we will see a more generous release. Their LGB release had 3 GBU-24's, 3 GBU-16's/Skipper, 6 GBU-10's and 9 GBU-12's all in one box. Hopefully they'll do something like 3 Snipers w/ adaptor pylons, 3 Lightnings with adopter pylons, 3 GBU-31V/2 penetrators, 9 GBU-38's and possibly three of another GPS guided
  18. Fish: From the Vietnam War there are several interesting loadout options: Pave Knife pod on the left inboard, GBU-10's on the left outboard and right inboard along with a fuel tank on the right outboard. Two GBU-8's on inboards and tanks on the outboards. SUU-42 flare dispensers on the outboards (looks like a rocket), 2 M36 cluster bombs on TER's on the inboards with a centerline tank. From what I've seen and others can confirm it they carried sparrows in the rear wells and ECM pods in the forward ones. What scale are you working in? Mark S.
  19. Gents: Think the decisions on the F-35 are good. It brings reality to the development and production process. You never in the auto world push the most complex version of a new car to the font of the line like what was done with the F-35B. You start with the easiest to build which is the F-35A. Learning curves, vendor quality problems and employee training all have to be dealt with at start-up. Good to see that they slowing intial production. As in cars you don't want to have a yard full of problem vehicles awaiting rework. Mark S.
  20. Gents: The term "Centennial of Naval Aviation" and the logo are trade marked but not the rest of the markings on the aircraft. Wolfpak will continue to supply the modeling market with decals they have come to rely upon us for. In addition if granted a license for the logo I'll provide those markings without markup for the licensing fee. The first jet will be the S-3 on the next release due out in a few weeks. Regards, Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
  21. Gents: For what it's worth there are no modeling differences between a B-52D and B-52E. The differences are in the systems and not the external configuration. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
  22. Gents: Just sold out of sheet 48-001. Found a few sheets of 72-021 so there are back on sale. It contains the RB-47H. Mark S.
  23. Gents: If you would like the South Vietnamese F-5C markings with the checkered band I have it on Wolfpak sheet 72-025 along with a bunch of other Vietnam War subjects. Mark Wolfpak Decals
  24. Gents: Finally the sheets arrived. I'm packaging them now. Website has been updated and the buttons are hot! Thanks very much for your patience. This problem was beyond my control. Mark
  25. Gents: Been able to track down thanks to Fantasy Print Shop and the Royal Mail the where abouts of the decals. Seems that they're in the US but held up do to Security Screening of all Packages. I'll keep you informed. Couldn't get any info from the USPS. Mark S.
