Wayne:
Thanks for your interest.
No, the MN code came first. Initially each squadron had a unique code but before deployment they changed to centralized maintenance and a single wing tail code.
In addition to the "MN" code there were squadrons with "MR" and "MB" tail codes.
FWIW I work from photos with credits to reduce erroneous markings.

Been busy with the real job. The RF-8G has special markings and is from VFP-63. The new sheets should have wet ink at the moment. As soon as they ship I'll post the instruction sheet artwork.
Some other subjects on the sheets are the CAG bird from VFA-201, a F-14A from VF-191, a F-8E Mig Killer from VF-191. Additionally a very early F-4D without the chin IR fairing and armed with AIM-4D missiles. Also have a F-15A from the 8th TFS on the sheets.

Big thanks to Jim Rotramel for his help on Wolfpak sheet 72-051. Jim has a wealth of information on the weapons and such from the Vietnam era and readily shares it with us modelers. Thanks Jim

All is well at Wolfpak Decals and Mill Creek Consultants, Inc. Hamfisted pilot error on my part. The hazard of having a mechanical engineer, yours truely, trying to be a IT expert.
FWIW have new sheets at the printer.

If they would do that along with a P-19 Fire Truck in 1/72 it would be nice.

The Raptors are their unique shades of grey. Sometimes artwork appears differently when it's manipulated from format to format and on various monitors.

There are probably no sprues labeled I or L. Those two characters are typically omitted from the alphabet used for engineering bills of materials or markings such as the sprues of the kit to prevent confusion since they are so similar.

Thanks for the kind words. This particular AC-130U did not have the DIRCM blisters. I do have a few in stock so if you wish just go to the Spectre resins pages and order them.

I know I have moved on. Next on my agenda is having lunch with a friend next week. He's in a position to open a few doors for me so stay tuned you might be seeing a few great subjects later this year.

I'm amused by this all. As my customers know, I, when needed have corrections printed and send them out to those who purchase my sheets. The correction will be sent to the printer after it has been checked. As a rule I don't comment on the mistakes of my competitors on any forum although I do privately contact them and try to help. Wish someone would have helped me in that manner. Some may perceive such remarks on a forum as a means to denegrate an individual or gain a competitive advantage. That is why I don't make those comments.
If you work the numbers the difference in that one marking will be barely visible but as I mentioned it will be corrected.
People take their modeling seriously and I recognize that but at the end of the day being recognized as a professional person and gentleman is more important to me than seeking rewards or dominance. We past by this way only once and when I'm gone I want people to remember me as a gentleman.
Regards,
Mark S.

Wolfpak Decals September Release
in Jet Modeling
Posted · Edited by Mark S.
Gents:
Here are the new sheets that will be on sale the first week in September: The cost will be $17.00 per sheet.
Sheet 72-062 - A F-16CM from Duluth in the latest Have Glass paint scheme along with a F-104A from the 83rd FIS while stationed on Taiwan. To go with new Italeri F-35A kit is to be released this fall there are enough markings to do two (2) jets with options of 4 squadron commanders aircraft and one wing commanders jet. For the most part these markings represent those on the first flight of each aircraft. The next subject is a MQ-1 from Holloman AFB. The YF-5A is in Army markings from 1962. To complete the sheet is a USAF F-4C Mig Killer in gull grey over white. Plenty of mission marks on this aircraft as they often carried 750 pound M117’s.
Sheet 72-063 - For those who like tigers. A F-102A with Case XX wings from the 460th FIS followed by two options for a F-15E of the 391st Bold Tigers. You can choose between an earlier jet with shark-mouth markings and LANTRIN pod or a later one that carried a SNIPER pod. The A-10, once again in the tiger theme, from the 75th FS, 23rd FW at Pope AFB. The A-10 appeared briefly with FT tail codes in Euro I before being re-painted in the light grey scheme. Finally a KC-135R from the Young Tigers with a tiger stripe on the top of the tail, samurai markings and ZZ tail codes.
