Sold out! A reprint in the next 3-4 years is highly unlikely, so grab one while you can still find it at the resellers.
I followed your advice. Spruebrothers had, and still has, them in stock. This project is typical of me. Bought the Roden kit on a whim, then your sheet and now I'm looking for another one or two to use more off the sheet. Its a condition I just can't stop. Don't even bring up the 1/48th P-51 sheets I have, including yours.

I will happily mod and delete spam. My fee is Pinot Noir 🤪.
But seriously, this place has been good to me over the years so I am happy to help out.
Ah, a person of taste and refinement. NZ Sauvignon Blanc is also quite the "go to" when I'm at our local warehouse store. Back on topic: I put all the spammers on "ignore" last night and while I didn't see any change immediately, today they are gone. If I did it, that's the ticket. If a "higher power" here did it, great. But they're gone.

F-86A in 1/48. Come on! Sterling combat history, longevity, oh-so-many colorful schemes both regular Air Force and ANG.
Spitfire PRXI in 1/48. Airfix has the wing in the PRXIX kit and just needs a modification of the Mk IX fuselage and a new windscreen/canopy. And maybe the XIX would work there too. I have many plans for model companies money.

Don't get too attached, the government will likely cancel it.

But still better than Episode 1 or 2
You set a low bar but I agree. I also don't think we've seen the last of D.J.

A Storm Trooper dies
A white one
Well, he took the first shot, and missed.

I'm recalling that when Rogue One was at this stage of hype there was trailer after trailer showing scenes that never appeared in the final release. Until The Last Jedi comes out, I refuse to make assumptions about anything.

A related/unrelated kind of question: has anyone done the research to determine the markings of Marshall Harrison's OV-10 as written up in his book "A Lonely Kind of War"? Especially when he was flying where there wasn't supposed to be any US presence (i.e. Cambodia). I'm assuming some sanitizing was done (national markings, etc) but I've never seen it confirmed.

An OV-10 w/o sponsons? It looks just plain necked!
A different kind of battle.
On a related note, Santa Rosa, CA had a street art exhibit a few years back utilizing "Peanuts" characters. Still on display is this one outside of a (really good) breakfast establishment. How about Woodstock in the back seat?

And please talk them into a sponson delete option so I can do some of my local planes.

Sorry, Steve. I just found this topic. Here's a couple of illustrations that may be helpful.

Pretty general layout though this one is for 108 gal "paper" tanks

What I will point out are 2 little details, that the nerd in me MUST exclaim:
Taiden Tomcat: Only wrinkle in your example is he STAGED that flag raising! He STAGED it as a photo op! Memorable, yes... But he wasn't there at the right time and the right place. He totally missed it, and had them do it again, slowly, pausing so he could take the shot. :whistle:/>/>/>/>/>
Far be it for me to dispute a "professional" but I am a history buff. I would direct you to this article, and most specifically the section "Publication and staging confusion".
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Raising_the_Flag_on_Iwo_Jima
Or from Rosenthal's NYT obituary:
"But almost from the day the photograph was emblazoned on the front pages of Sunday newspapers as a symbol of embattled patriotism, Mr. Rosenthal faced suspicions that he staged the shot, posing the Marines. He always insisted that he recorded a genuine event, and others on the scene corroborated his account.
“The picture was not posed,” Louis Burmeister, a former Marine combat photographer who was among four military photographers alongside Mr. Rosenthal as the flag went up, said in a 1993 interview for “Shadow of Suribachi,” by Parker Bishop Albee Jr. and Keller Cushing Freeman.
“If it was posed, we would have probably had their faces toward us,” Mr. Burmeister said. “You notice, in the picture, nobody’s facing us.” "
Or another article:
http://skepticalhumanities.com/2011/06/18/was-the-flag-raising-at-iwo-jima-staged/
There is bunch of references clarifying the dispute, one has to only look.
So to re-iterate:
Staged
Not staged
No need to thank me, truth is its own reward.

I will include this insignia in my second ANG P-51D sheet; so I have the artwork ready. I don't print custom decals though.
Kursad, do you have this squadron on your list? You did so well with the first one. And yes, I have a sheet.

Here's a photo of the 1966 winner before it was loaded on a plane and shipped to France. The silver/black/white roundels stand out well.
Now, the Dan Gurney #2 at Sebring in 1966 was blue with white stripes. That may be where the confusion lies.

From what I've heard in the SF Bay area Joe Kapp was, and remains, a grade A jerk. I recall that for no known reason he developed an abiding dislike for a radio host when he was the coach for Cal and the radio station was the lead station for Cal football. He simply refused to talk with the host. He couldn't opt out of the broadcast so for that 5-10 minute segment they had to bring in a substitute host. I don't think it was faked.

What's political about cats?

My two little ladies, the very short pair that always were fur around the house saw your post. They warned friends in TO, so you may want avoid any cats you see!
Oooh, it just came to me. My niece has a cat that has never quite trusted me since I stepped on its feet. I consider myself warned. And my niece would NOT think that joke was funny.

Here is a random cat fact. Cat urine will glow in the dark under a black light. There up the ante lol
How about "Anyone who doesn't like cats isn't using the right recipes."
Plus I'm flying to Toronto on Tuesday, anybody want me to drop something off?

I just saw them at a show last weekend but didn't pick them up (by count I have 112 different P-51 options-didn't need a what if). Here's a review:

I've got the Modern Viper Guide and the Modern Phantom Guide. So much detail for such a reasonable price. What's not to like?

Turbo Otter
in Props
You know, on this same vein, a real nice idea would be a turbo conversion kit for the Hasegawa S-2 in 1/72. With Draw Decals starting a nice set of firebomber decals, this would seem to be a natural. But I'm sure you have no lack of good ideas.

I'd vote for two sheets. Some who like props don't care for jets. Those who don't care will probably get both, depending on the subject/squadron.
Question About SUU-11 Minigun Pod on A-1 Skyraider
in General Discussion
Posted
Completely "spit-balling" here but I would speculate that it was hung on that pylon for accuracy reasons-less of an offset from the gun sight. Additionally, I've only seen it mounted on the left wing main pylon. Maybe that was the only one that was wired for the SUU-11.
