I haven't even finished drawing it yet.

I am 99.9% positive there are only three colors used in that scheme and they are FS 20400, 30219, and 30117. By the way, I got the email with the photos. Working on a project for VMFA-533 at the moment and will get to this as soon as I am able.

The sheet I'm working on has all of their current jets. However, if you'd like to share the references you have on those jets, I could definitely make some adjustments.

They haven't really changed much. If Zvezda were to release a dedicated KC-130J kit, maybe that will improve. 72003 is going to happen. It, as well as several other sheets got delayed when the whole trademark and licensing issue arose. The only problem I'm dealing with now are the costs. While Cartograf has always been expensive, Microscale has become even more expensive. I sent the same file to both (a small, 3 color sheet), and Microscale was $80 more than Cartograf! I've sent a larger sheet to both with more colors and currently waiting for quotes to see what the difference is.

No, all of my sheets got put on hold when I ran into issues with the Marine Corps Trademark and Licensing Division. While the issues have since been resolved, they really messed up a lot of my scheduled plans. Working now on getting everything back on track and sent to the printer for quotes.

Thank you!

There isn't a single color to use. I literally have hundreds of photos of Harriers I took while stationed at Cherry Point, and almost none of the radomes are the same shade of gray.

They might be getting one or two from 224, but to date, they haven't had any.

VMFA-314 had at least one back in 2017. BuNo 164043, modex 23

Nothing is scrapped. The product line has grown to 470 items. 3D printed resin items have been doing really well. I've designed two paint schemes for HMLA's, I'm designing the coin for VMFA-231's new CO, drawing lithographs for VMFA-533, getting ready to visit VMFA(AW)-224, have been working with VMFA-314 on getting coverage of their combat jets, building a crap load of models for several squadrons, drawing more decals sheets, and preparing for the Nationals. Several of the above are simply a higher priority at the moment. When I can devote more time to this sheet, I will.

Received the quote back from Cartograf, and placed the confirmation order. This first sheet covers Mk-20 Mod 12 Rockeye, Mk-82 500lb bombs, Mk-82 thermally protected 500lb bombs, and BLU-111 thermally protected 500lb bombs, as well as stencils for the BSU-33 conical fin. There are 12 of each bomb on the sheet, and this will be the first of many that will eventually cover our entire ordnance line. This is a PRE-ORDER and it is expected to be available in 6 to 8 weeks. Before you ask, a 1/48 sheet is being put together that will cover a lot more ordnance. The goal is to

New resin available and decals on the way! The plan is to have decals for the entire ordnance line printed. All sheets will be printed by Cartograf and Microscale.

I received my two Whiskey's from MMD this morning and Wow, they actually did a really good job on this kit! Now, this is one aircraft I've actually taken a tape measure and plum line to, have loft drawings from Bell, and roughly 1500 personal photos. It's an airframe I'm pretty familiar with. While the kit has some minor details wrong, the overall shape and dimensions are pretty much dead on. This is in no way, shape or form a copy of the Academy kit. Hell, I don't even think they used it for general reference. It is leaps and bounds ahead of it, and I'm glad I dumped mine when I d
