I think that would be a much better effort and probably easier on your sanity :) I also had that Fujimi kit when it first came out but quickly got rid of it when Revell issued their Intruder kits. Yes they were not 'A' models but I figured I could do better at converting the Revell kit than try to build the Fujimi. I made a list of changes I would like to do on the Fujimi kit and I ran out of paper. I jest of course but the list was LONG.

Hey Kursad Are you adverse to putting on a "what-may-be" on the sheet? The reason I ask is that Bell is proposing to the Canadian Government the V-22 for the Search and Rescue roll. They have painted up one in the yellow scheme with lots of red panels. The go fast stripe is also there. Looks great. I can get you a couple of pics as well as a drawing if that would help you visualize it.

Crap you snooze you looze :( I see that SB has stock so I will get it there. Darn it I keep saying that life/work is getting in the way of my hobby :)

Ok that tlooks great as per usual. Hey I seem to recall those full colour Oregon markings on a F-101 Voodoo. There's another subject for you Kursad :)

Hi David Joe at Flightdecs has already done the CP-140 in 1/72 in the grey scheme. But as you know it has not been released as of yet. The sheet also includes a couple of special markings. I know for a fact that the sheets are printed but he has been having no end of trouble with the instructions. I think finally he is going to release them with some help from someone to finish off the instruction sheet. The reason I know all of this is that I speak to Joe plus I helped him with the sheet. He also sent me a sample when it was back from the printers. As for suggestions, I know it is a small s

Hi Kursad Thanks for the reply. I could go preorder the T-45 and if you don't mind holding it until more of your sheets come out that would be great. It would probably make it a bit easier for you shipping wise so you are only doing one package for me instead of several.

Hi Kursad Is the T-45 the only sheet I can preorder? I would like to order some of your stuff but no linky. I found the T-45 Part 3 from one of your other posts but how about the F-15? Thanks

Great news Kursad and lots of stuff there that interests me. I better go get your October releases before they are all gone. Darn it why is it I can buy decals faster than I can build. I have tons (maybe literally) of decals and no sign of making a dent in my stash with building the kit. However having said that I have many sheets that are now LONG LONG out of production so I am happy about that. Hope they are still good when I go to use them.

Hey Kursad, you are so mean. I was all set to pick up Part 2 and now you release Part 3. Son of a gun, a shark mouth on a T-45!!!! Wow, now that is cool. I think this is the sheet I will get. Of course I could get 2 and 3 but I don't think I have the will to build more than one but who knows :)

I knew I had seen the markings on decals before. It seems that Aztec Decals produced a sheet in 1/48 and 1/72nd. Lucky for me I never got it :) Now that Kursad is making an even better sheet I know which one to buy now.

Ok why do these markings look familiar? I think another decal company may have issued these markings? Not that it matters to me as I would buy Kursad's version anyway since I don't have it. I think the other sheet may not have had the art on the tails. Also, with the new MiG 29 kit coming from Great Wall Hobby I think these markings would be outstanding. Oh well got to work some more overtime to buy more Caracal decals :lol:

Hey Kursad Great news there. Nice to see some operational schemes. Love all of that bright red on the white. Looking forward to your release.

Yet another nice sheet Kursad. Great stuff. So tell me when do you sleep? :) Seems to me you are producing sheets fast and furious. Not that I am complaining since you sure pick some nice subjects. Maybe I missed it, but is that sheet for the Hasegawa kit? I have the Tamiya kit as well as the Monogram kit but I think I would like to do the Tamiya kit.

Kursad This is a great announcement. I have several Monogram kits in my stash so having an option for new markings is more than welcome. Personally I think the Monogram kit is better than the Tamiya kit but that is just my opinion. I have both so it really does not matter. I have some Spanish markings for the Spanish naval aircraft but the sheet is a rare one. Just happy you are doing markings at all.

Hi Kursad This is great news. I am happy that you are going in this direction. Also, about Caracal Models releasing USAF schemes may I suggest that you hold off on that. From what I have seen, there are many sheets already on the market and I don't want you to lose sales because people already have markings by someone else. That is why, your Singapore sheet I think will do well since nothing else exist, YET. Anyway, just my opinion. That plus I already have several USAF F-15E sheets :)

Hi Kursad Well it looks like I will be buying yet another sheet from you. Is there any way to reserve a copy? Maybe pre-order? I have a few of your other sheets to pick up too.

In Canada I buy my FCM sheets from Flightdecs www.flightdecs.ca Joe deals with FCM directly I believe. I am speaking with him tonight so I will ask him about these new sheets.

Sound business practice :) That is why I will continue to buy your stuff. Well as long as my Minster of Finance says so or until she finds out :)

Hi Kursad Wow, I was just speaking with someone about this. I like option 2 since as you say, stencils available. The only difference would be the type of stencil variations between yours and the kits. Even though I don't build 1/72nd or 1/32nd I am sure I can give the 72nd ones to my friend. Would this mean you would have a smaller print run since guys may be splitting the sheets between themselves?

Wow ken, amazing job. Been following your builds for quite some time and always amazed how you turn those kits into masterpieces. I had seen a review of that A Model kit somewhere and was not very impressed but after seeing yours I may have to reconsider even though I don't build 1/72nd. Yeah chances of a 1/48th model are less than slim :) Like the load too as it shows the sheer size of the helicopter. Anyway, thanks for sharing your beautiful model.

Well that is great and bad news. Great in a sense that your decision to produce was a good one. Bad in that people can't buy it until the reprint. I am sure it is satisfying to you when a sheet does well. Gives you more drive to produce something else I hope.

Well I missed this the first time around so I will have to get it now. Thanks for the reprint Kursad. I wonder if I can wait to order this and the PAF sheet coming in soon?

Well what the heck is up with this? Every time I go to your section Kursad, there is more new stuff to buy. It looks like pretty soon I will not be able to visit your section of ARC since it costs me money every time I do. Hmm, I wonder if the Bank of Wife is offering any loans for modelling supplies. I will have to go find out :) All kidding aside, thanks for releasing this sheet. I have the Sword kit and was looking for some nice markings for it. There was an old TB sheet also I believe but probably not available anymore.

You are so right Jennings, a MiG 25 over a 31 is much more desirable I think. My all time favourite scheme is the MiG 25s flown by Algeria. Yeah I know they are grey but those national markings sure are cool looking.

Saw that on Cybermodeler and thought I was seeing things. It is really great news. I have the ESCI kits, both the 23 and 27, and I have been looking at them over the years with the hope that someday some company will issue new versions. Well, I guess prayers do work :)
