Gentlemen: Thanks for your comments. Mark

Gents: I did my homework and the engineering analaysis supports it. Being a professional I won't get into a pissing match over this but I will say that unless Brian can provide a certified drawing from VFA-103 then I won't be swayed. Mark S.

I worked from those photos and when you import them into engineering software and account for the slightly curved surface and the parallax error the angles especially evident on 0 read 90 degrees. It's an easy mistake to make. The only item in question was the VFA-103 artwork as you stated. I agree with the others and they are so drawn. If you are in Ohio stop by my office and I'll show you how to account for the errors. Mark

Brian: Mine photos do not show obliqued lettering. Since the are copyright protected I won't post them but you are welcomed to contact me at the phone number on my website. If I'm not in just have one of the girls contact me and I'll return your call if you leave a number. As I mentined you are a friendly competitor. Regards, Mark

The photos of the jet that I have do NOT show obliqued lettering but standard block letters. I do however think that 201 from that period had obliqued lettering. More than likely their markings were in transition at that time. Will update the profile for the demarcation line. Always enjoy the help of a friendly competitor. Thanks! Mark S.

Gents: Two subjects that will be on my next release due out before the end of July. There will be more than one CH-53's and MH-60's on the sheets. I'll post the instruction sheet artwork early next week. Mark

Gents: Here's a subject that will appear on my next release due out before the end of July. I'll post the artwork for the instruction sheet early next week. Mark S.

Gents: I'm thinking of expanding my decal line into armor. Would like to know what you are interested in. Is it WW II, Korea, Vietnam, Cold War, Desert Storm, or OIF/OEF? Would you like to see just Traditional Armor, SP Guns,Gun Trucks, Humvee's and the like? Would scale would you like as well. Thanks, Mark S. Wolfpak Decals

It appears that they fly air-to-air missions when tasked: http://www.seymourjohnson.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123263718 Mark S.

Gents: I'm game if someone would send a walkaround. Mark Wolfpak Decals

Jennings: You must have not seen the Wolfpak sheet no. 72-046 which has a standard E-3 from Kadena on the sheet. Additionally on sheet 72-018 which is out of stock at the moment I did one of the developmental E-8's that flew in Desert Storm. If you are looking for decals for the E-6 they were on sheet 72-027 which is also sold out. Mark Wolfpak Decals

Gents: I'll throw it on the list. Need however a better picture of the tail. Mark Wolfpak Decals

B24Researcher: I look forward to buying your book. Thanks for putting such a valuable guide together for modelers and aviation buffs. Mark S.

Gents: If anyone is willing to post more photos and data on the P4Y-2 mods it would be appreciated. I have a line of decals and recently released a sheet with a Korean War P4Y-2 used as a flareship with information from another researcher and author. If you wish you can send the information to mark.bilas@millcreekconsultants.com. If I use your photos to produce decals I'll send you a complementary sheet. B24RESEARCHER - Would you please either post or send me the title and ISBN number of your book? Mark S. Wolfpak Decals

Gents: The Decals are in and the buttons are hot! Mark S.

Gents: Wolfpak Decals for those of you who don't know is largely drawn by myself (over 99%)with the exception of a very few subjects to date. Those that have been done by others have been reviewed by myself and senior modelers that check the work before it is printed. Won't say there have been no mistakes but we try to keep those to a minimum. The key to accurate decals in addition to good drawing skills and checking is good reference material. Mark S.

Gents: Thanks for the kind words. I'm still thinking about another 1/144 scale sheet. Are there any other 50's era subjects you gents would like to see? Mark S.

Jerry: It's your model so anything goes. To me the base color was darker than the Aluminum. The true color of the greys would be defined by an incident angle of 90 degrees for both the light impinging on the object and the line of sight of the viewer. As the light source moves from that angle the colors will shift based on their refractive indices. Mark S.

Gents: Here's the thread in the jet forum: http://s362974870.onlinehome.us/forums/air/index.php?showtopic=246621 It contains several prop aircraft including a: RF-51, F4U-4, T-28B, P4Y-2, RV-1D/OV-1D, P-3C/EP-3E Mark S. Wolfpak Decals

Gents: Here is the latest release from Wolfpak Decals. Sheet 72-054. HOT N COLD, containing a RF-51D from the 45th TRS, Kimpo, 1952, F-86D from the 86th FIS, Youngstown, Ohio in 1957, F4U-4 from VF-653 on board the USS Valley Forge during the Korean War, An oddball from the 60’s a T-28B of the Royal Laotian Air Force. A recce bird from the 40’s, a RF-80B from the 162nd TRS at Shaw AFB. Believe this unit is flying MQ-9’s now. To wrap up the sheet a P4Y-2 Privateer from VP-871. This aircraft was used as a flare ship during the Korean War. Sheet 72-055 Beeps and Sque

Gents: Spraying the aluminum and graphite is really easy. I've used it on several builds and I'm now experimenting with a version of it for the F-35B paint scheme which is similar. Jim are you ready to Beta Test it for me? Mark S. Wolfpak Decals

Wolfpak Sheet 72-047, Mr. Bones Neighborhood has a F-100C in SEA from the Colorado ANG. Additionally all you need to do is ask for those subjects in 1/72 scale that you would like to see. I do more line jets than billboard jets. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals

There's also B-26K's on Wolfpak Decals sheet 72-039 and a Farm Gate B-26B on sheet 72-040. Mark S. Wolfpak Decals
