  1. Hope someone can help.

    I know that the tailcodes are 18", the serial nos are 12" and the "AF XX" is 5".

    What size are the "AFRC" markings on the rear fuselage?

    Are the ANG/FS/FW etc markings also 12"?

    And what size are the wing/squadron badges?

    Many thanks for all your help!

  2. Heck I would love a new 1/72 B-1. Hasegawa would be my preference though. If one of the Chinese manufactures does it theres no way I will buy it. Kinda sick of seeing all these new kits that are nowhere near accurate and have those godawful trench line and pothole surface detail. Just my 2cents.

    You'd have to sell a lung to be able to afford to buy one - I guess you'd be looking at $200+ minimum!

  3. I spent several wonderful 30 day tours at Decimommannu, Sardegna (Sardinia in English). We ate at several restaurants that all had fantastic food, and I met some really wonderful people. Cagliari was a fun city to tour around. We usually stayed in the Il Grillo hotel in Assemini, also a very nice town. We had great times but never ever did anyone bring a pot of soup out to the flightline for us, darned the bad luck! On the other hand, we did have a big "roach coach" (truck) park at the edge of the flightline so we could buy food:

    Hey Scott - don't suppose this was actually marked with USAF plates was it?

  4. Or you could wait about a day or so and order the Steel Beach masking set from Sprue Brothers. I dropped them off this weekend and they should go up on the site sometime this week. There are 45 separate vinyl pieces. It was quite a project to do, but it will make life extremely easy. The set contains two full 8.5 x 11 sheets of vinyl with precut pieces. I can't wait to build an F-15 and use this set.

    Edit: Just saw that you're doing it in 1/32. I've thought about releasing the mask in 1/32, but it would require 4-5 sheets of vinyl. That's $25 cost just in vinyl. I'd have to charge almost $50 to even make any money. I don't think anyone is going to go for that. Here's what I could do. If you PM me your email address, I can send you the pattern outlines. You could print them out and then enlarge them on a copier to 1/32 scale. That way you wouldn't have to deal with coming up with the shapes. They would already be done for you.

    Darren - are these in 1/72 as well as 1/48th?
