leverancier Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It's popular enough. If(or when) Trumpeter releases it's Intruder, it is going to sell like hot cakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxtype Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Had a bit of down time this weekend and thought I'd play with an idea... Still some empty space to fill and not sure what to put in there. I can't promise that this will be a sheet that's sent to print, but if you want it, it would be great to get some feedback. -brian Brian,I would love that sheet in 1/32! -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PNW_Modeler Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I have definitely been bit hard by the 32nd bug lately. Of all the kits I have bought in the last month, 1 has been 48th scale. Everything else is 32nd scale. I may switch entirely to 32nd scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 That's EXACTLY what I'm looking for. I'd buy 2 sheets for $25/sheet all day long if you made this with the other missing decals. Chuck - what's missing? I got all the aircraft markings. I added landing gear door placards, patches, LAU-7 and BOL rail stencils, cockpit details. The only thing I haven't done is the helmet markings. I don't think I'll be adding GE engine decals since there's 3 aftermarket makers of those and probably more on the horizon. As for the combo scale way - This is a pretty packed full size sheet. Not sure I'd want to print an 8x10 combo scale since the price would go up. My feeling, while I'd love to do scale combos, is that modelers would rather pay less and get exactly what they want and others would go looking for their scale from someone that wouldn't use that portion. I thought about putting 1/144 on this sheet but what 1/144 modeler is going to pay upwards of $20 for one jet? This jet is already available in 1/72. -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Phartycr0c Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Strange thing is, I made a comeback to the hobby a couple of years ago and found myself drwan to 1/32. I was impressed by the level of detailing achieved and some of the subject matter. This was mainly because I set out to have a limited collection of "quality" builds (quality being the variable). Some of my earlier stuff im looking to redo as (I think) iv'e improved my techniques and it shows (again I think). Problem is as more and more subjects are offered in this scale, the more I find the collection growing. (1 /32 Jag and Buccaneer anyone?) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
signals Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I'd like a couple of sheets too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Hi, Count me in for a set or two,especially since Wolfpack has 1/32 B and D airframe conversions coming soon for the Tamiya F-14.Gorgeous decals Brian. Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chuck540z3 Posted February 19, 2008 Author Share Posted February 19, 2008 Chuck - what's missing? I got all the aircraft markings. Sorry Brian- I misinterpreted your earlier post about extra space. I don't know of anything missing. I still would like to buy this in 1/32 if you make it. By the looks of other posts, so would a lot of other guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lock n' Load Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I guess that's why I like the larger scale, since I'm 53 and can't see anything under a foot without magnifier glasses on.Decals that I've tried to find are for an F-14D VF-101 like this one. Now THESE would sell like hotcakes if somebody would make them.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Thing I've got something wicked to fill in the extra space and make the OOB 1/32 Tomcat fans happy. Now we'll just see how the VF-24 sheet sells... -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 I think part of the problem with the F-14 is that the F-14As have been pretty much retired and the only existing F-14 kits represent the A model. To make an F-14B or D requires a conversion, so in essence one would be making aftermarket decals for a aftermarket conversion. Probably a lesser market than there would be if there was a specific F-14B or D kit. That would be extremely expensive to do...now if Trump or Tamiya Released -Bs and -Ds...then we'd be talkin Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 All of the VX stuff? That would be at least 3 sheets! 1 jet per sheet, w/ 1 or maybe 2 options of the same main markings for those. Got a 1/32 plan in the works, we'll see how it goes. -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Berkut Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Why isn't 1/32 more popular? To ask opposite question: Why should it be more popular? I think it is mainly two things that doensnt make 1/32 as popular as 1/72 or 1/48: - cost - place need to have them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted February 23, 2008 Share Posted February 23, 2008 Thought I'd add the update here. Just released some new sheets and the 1/32 VF-24 201 jet is in there. Includes all the A specific airframe details, landing gear and landing gear door placards, ejection seat and some cockpit details, pilot helmets and patches, intake covers and 2 versions of this jet. Depending on how this sheet does will influence future sheets, so even if you don't want to build this exact jet consider supporting the 1/32 line... (How's that for subtle ) -brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
