  1. Gents: I'm waiting on the mail and have Fantasy tracking it from their end. As soon as I get them I'll put them on sale. Mark
  2. Gents: Thanks for the kind words. All the sheets are in 1/72nd scale. I'd like to do a few 48th scale sheets but only if they would sell. Mark S.
  3. Gents: Here are the new sheets from Wolfpak. They’ll be on sale in about a week. Sheet 10-12 is this year’s thank you sheet. Just like last year you can’t buy it but I’ll ship it to those who place an order of 30USD or more of decals not including shipping (void where prohibited by law.) Now for the subjects: Sheet 72-039: A Desert Storm C-130E with Rabbit Noseart, A choice of B-26K’s and RB-26K’s in the emerald green and grey scheme or a RB-26K in just coin grey. A F-8 Mig Killer. Vice Marshall Ky’s UH-1B and a choice of a silver over white B-52E from either the 17th or
  4. Gents: The B-52E will have decals for the 17th BW from Wright Patterson and the 96th BW from Dyess. I'll try to post the instruction sheets in a few days. Mark
  5. Steve: Congratulations, and many more! A great place. Mark S.
  6. Gents: Here's a little of the artwork from several of my upcoming sheets including another sheet that says Thanks for your patronage. There's more to come and the subjects are from several releases. More info in about a week Mark
  7. A reminder the Marine Corps. Birthday is November 10. Mark S.
  8. Think the main engineering issue will be in the design of the bearing assemblies used to guide the blades while they retract or extend. You will certainly have varing loads on the blades based on their position. Since they will structurally be overhung beams you will need to acount for the moment (torque) at the bearings (support points.) Going to be interesting with the loads from: lift, air vehicle forward or rearward acceleration, and any G's that it may be pulling. Sounds like a nice three dimensional problem. Mark S.
  9. Derek: Here's a link to a picture of the aircraft onsheet 72-023. http://www.vermontel.net/~tomh/peasa.html Mark Wolfpak Decals
  10. Gents: For what they're asking for the kit you would think they'd have acorrectly shaped JDAM and a clear piece for the sensor windows on the lower front fuselage. Isn't Dragon/DML doing an a model? Mark S.
  11. Gents: If there were a kit there would be decals. Mark S.
  12. Gents: Sniper Pod- Clear piece for the lense and the forward section is designed to rotate so you can model it in the stored or operational positions. The GBU-38 in my opinion isn't as crisply molded as I would have like but it's okay. Clear pieces for the seekers on the GBU-24, and AGM-84E SLAM. Lots of wings and tail surfaces to glue on. The birdie for the GBU-10 is a separate part. Kit comes with decals. The GBU-39's look good. You have two carriers and 8 SDB's. My gripe is I wish they would have done what Hasegwa did in providing more of the smaller ordnance items. Would have li
  13. Think the markings will go the route of the F-22. Countershaded and minimal. What's going to be interesting is to see what type of markings go on the 33rd WG aircraft. There's going to be three variants flying for 3 services at Eglin. Will they all use the EG tail code or will the Navy use the AD code? What about the Marines? Mark
  14. Gents: Because of numerous requests I have reissued Wolfpak Sheet 72-010 SOF & CSAR. The sheet contains: an AFRC MC-130E, MC-130H Combat Talon II, MC-130P, MH-53J Magnum a Son Tay raid aircraft, OH-58D from Desert Storm and a HH-60G from Moody AFB. Mark S.
  15. I've seen a photo of a camera mod that doesn't take the entire sparrow well. It's on a ohto of a F-4E. Were there more than one type used? Mark
  16. Back in the late 70's and early 80's HP was know for their quality especially in test equipment. Their products have steadily declined over the years and I think it started when the bean counters and MBA's replaced the hard-nosed engineers in upper management. Mark
  17. Jennings: Would be nice if the other variants include the CV580 in Allegheny markings. Mark
  18. Gents: If you're looking for decals for a gunship grey AC-130A from Desert storm I have them on Wolfpak sheet 72-034. You'll need 4 blade props for it. Mark S.

    Wolfpak!

    Curt: You're welcome Curt. Would like to take credit for the speedy delivery but it's the USPS. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
  20. Flyingfortress: Couple of reasons for the smoke. The new JP-8 fuel is formulated to reduce it's flammability in a crash which causes coking at lower power settings. Coking is when you have incomplete combustion of the fuel which results in unburned carbon or coke in the exhaust stream. As for the KC-135's with the J57 the gas temperature is lowered in the engine helping coke to form as well even at higher power settings. Jennings may know more on that aircraft. Even C-130's leave smoke trails now. Mark
  21. Gents: Looking forward to meeting everyone at the Nats and for those who couldn't make it the website has been updated and the buttons are hot! I will ship orders when I get back next week probably on Tuesday August 10, 2010. Mark S.
  22. Tank, Thank you very much for the response, and you are correct about the enlarged fuel tanks for the CH-46E; that issue is addressed in my "Notes To Modelers" section of the instructions. This is not the first time that I have covered a subject for which there is not an accurate kit; as a helicopter builder I'm sure you are quite aware of the lack of a truly accurate AH-64D in 1/72 scale. This issue is one of the reasons (along with my fondness for "old school" manufacturers like Modeldecal and the reasons Drew cited above) that I settled on the format of multiple aircraft types on one s
  23. Gents: I'll consider a 1/144 sheet or maybe a half size sheet. I need to get the kits before I rescale the artwork. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
  24. Gents: Thanks for the kind words. Yes, the Orion is from VP-30. Got it right in the written instructions but missed it on the color sheet. It will be corrected. Mark
  25. Gents: Have 6 helo's on my Nats releases. They are: YCH-54A from Vietnam, OH-6A 4th ID Vietnam, AH-64A PA ARNG, AH-64D Army Reserve Fort Knox, UH-1N USMC, and a CH-46E. Here's the link: http://www.arcforums.com/forums/air/index....howtopic=213427 Mark
