Not up on my helicopters. How much difference between a CH-46E and what you get from the Fujimi kit? Would a 3D or resin detailing set suffice?

It might not be kosher to mention other decal manufacturers here on the Caracal page, but do you mean Print Scale?

Or their B-52s. 🙄 After I built their B-2 and then B-52H, I figured I'd be better off using aftermarket details and corrections on Monogram's 1/72 B-One. I wasn't going to let imperfection get in the way of finished.

The F-105 vs the F-107 competition was also about high-speed tactical nuke delivery. The Thud had an internal bomb bay, and the 107 had a semi-recessed mount for the nuke. When the Thud went to war, the bomb bay carried a fuel tank and wasn't openable.

I don't know the numbers, but I recall being told it had the red shooting stars. The others were dark blue, green, and yellow, as you know.

I just posted this one on Hyperscale to your question there. Now it's a race to see which one you see first. This one came from Norm Filer who flew Huns and Zippers with the 479th back in the late '50s and early '60s.

Sorry. I thought hemspilot was wishing for reprints of "sold-out" items. I didn't realize he was suggesting that Kursad catch up on "coming soon" decals. Whatever. I'd like to see (and use) some of those, too, but there is still the reality of economies that not many of us understand. So instead of Cory giving hemspilot a break, perhaps hemspilot can give Kursad a break. It's Kursad's company and he can change his mind anytime it's good for the company.😊

Oh, give him a break. Not many people understand what it takes to create, advertise, order, print, market, sell, ship, account for, or make money with a decal business. He maybe a newbie and has just discovered Caracal and wishes he could obtain some out-of-print decals. It's not like you can just turn on your home printer and click. 🙄

I don't recall that, but if you can find it, it will be waaaaay out of date. Hasegawa has probably issued its 1/72 and 1/48 scale F-4 and F-15 kits literally a hundred times since they were introduced in the 1980s. Not every issue makes it to the international markets, as well. And they're still reissuing them right now.

Oooh, baby!

Not that it would change your scheduling, but if I could arrange getting the unit's cooperation, perhaps graphic files, would that make designing easier?

Anything?

Kursad, is the "Brew City Tankers" in your plans for 1/72 scale? I'm building the AMT kit and will wait for your decals, but if you decide not to do this one, I'll hope for someone else to do it. Please, please, please!?

I don't make records of what I used, but as I recall, I used Tamiya gloss white spray can over fine white primer, then used Mr. Color Super Chrome Silver 2 (206) which seems to be unavailable now, and other Mr. Color shades, some I may have mixed myself!
