For me it's the decals that haven't aged well. Even with proper application, the decal film has become darker over time. When this has happened, I'll throw the model away, which makes room for another one.

I agree with Aigore. Decals might be finicky to wrap around the wings. Painting them is really quite easy...and satisfying.

FWIW, last week I messaged the folks at ResKit suggesting they produce these. (No response yet.) At the rate they're churning out ordinance (LOL), it's just a matter of time.

Outstanding!

Great subject for a nostalgia build!

Scaled for the kit that Tamiya just announced.

Everyone pay attention. THIS is how you price models to actually sell. 👍

Buy something inexpensive and give fair feedback on it, but add a remark about the seller's other items. E.g., "Very nice patch, but be aware that other patches listed by this seller appear to be fakes. Fakes can be difficult to identify, so do your research before buying an expensive patch."

If it hasn't been mentioned before, we could use decals for the EA-6B in 70s and early 80s full color schemes. There hasn't been anything on the market since the old Microscale Decals days.

Peewit also makes a canopy mask for the kit, #72309. Still need masks for the F-5B for sure.

Location? Date? Link?

Side note. We should pin this thread for all future reprint requests rather than have many, separate threads.

Thanks for the heads-up, Chris!

Probably Wheels and Wings Hobbies in Ontario. Paul Budzik mentioned them in his review. LINK

I'm eager to see what other versions of the airframe ICM chooses to produce. I suspect there will be a lot of good markings for Kursad to produce.

"Gray and dreary?" Them's fightin' words! 🤣 Either way, as always, I'll be eager to see your 1/72 incarnation.

I'll be excited to see these in 1/144! 😉

I know, but Kursad could select other subjects and (most importantly) do them in 1/72 scale.

If there's a chance of seeing test Vipers from Caracal, I would suggest adding markings for two Eglin units, the 3247th Test Squadron (AD tail code) and the 422nd Test Squadron (OT tail code).

Outstanding modeling there! Beautiful finish.
