Request: 1/72 USAF F-35A "Next Wave"
Captain Tyler replied to Captain Tyler's topic in Caracal Models
F-35A 23-5885 has been spotted with 301st FW markings. This frame neatly compliments 5794 and 5799 above for the Ft. Worth Lightnings -
Request: 1/72 USAF F-35A "Next Wave"

@KursadA There is one more thing I'd like to bring up, in terms of formatting of the decals. This applies to these requests, but also, for subsequent F-35 sheets, you may want to consider this strategy as well. Particularly for 1/72, vertical stabilizer decals on the F-35A are very small, and are only applied within a certain panel on the majority of the active duty frames. Especially since a lot of tail flashes are starting to be used, they can be very tricky to get on. What I'd like to recommend is that vertical stabilizer decals be printed as whole decals in themselves. Th -

Oh, I do not think it's up for debate. The TAM F-35 kits, both 1/48 and 72, blow their peers out of the water. They should definitely be seen as the gold standard for the subject. -

Hey @KursadA In the year since, there have been a lot of changes to the F-35 world, and I'd like to drastically amend the list here, and a few of the subjects might interest you. I think it's probably better to do only USAF subjects for this sheet, since there are a few new subjects. The 100th FS Red Tails have been taken care of by Bullseye as #BMA48042, and are pretty good. No longer worth pursuing. The ED jets are hard to get photo refs of. I think we drop these. The 176th FS, 'WI' subjects aren't really all that interesting, but that's your call. The foreign jet -
Thanks for the update. Will there be a limit per customer?

Roger that. We'll be patient

At that point, it's really just a glorified RC plane, I reckon. Really not much to see that'd be super classified. Lucky dude! -
Got another 1/48 request for you Kursad! This is sort of a supplement for CD48197, the "Team Target" sheet, and covers the two QF-4Es that made an appearance at the 2016 EAA AirVenture air show. The 82nd ATRS was the absolute last USAF unit to operate the F-4 in any capacity, replacing these QF-4Es with the QF-16 Victim Viper. This requested aircraft are: QF-4E 73-1167, 53rd WEG, 2016 QF-4E 74-1638, 82nd ATRS, 2016 The first of these aircraft is QF-4E 73-1167.
