Cobrahistorian Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Hey all, Just out of curiosity, I'm wondering how many people'd be interested in seeing decals for the HS-8 CAG bird from their 2007 Arabian Sea cruise? Just in case you don't know which bird I'm talking about, here's a shot of it: The whole nose is a black 8-ball and the mace extends back to the tail. Really friggin cool! Just doing some test-marketing. Jon Edited July 15, 2008 by Cobrahistorian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aeroengr Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'd be very interested. I didn't think anyone else was, I posted some Navy photos of it some time ago. They have since become HSC-8 and swithed to the MH-60S. Their website did not have any pictures of the new aircraft but the home page has a pretty nice graphic.

Par429 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hey- Very cool! I'd be interested. But in addition to these CAG birds, it would be nice if these sheets also included low viz markings to do a regular squadron aircraft. Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
illithid00 Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I'm no chopper modeler, but I'd build that. Those markings are awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RedCrown Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 I would definitely be in for a set. Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-1 Nut Posted July 15, 2008 Share Posted July 15, 2008 That is a cool scheme, but I bet those decals would be a real booger to put on. Looks really cool, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Yes, please...in 72nd scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 72 scale for me too, too many nice decals have only been made available to 48 scale modelers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cobrahistorian Posted July 16, 2008 Author Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'd be very interested. I didn't think anyone else was, I posted some Navy photos of it some time ago. They have since become HSC-8 and swithed to the MH-60S. Their website did not have any pictures of the new aircraft but the home page has a pretty nice graphic. I checked out their site today. I definitely like the new MH-60S scheme too! Good to hear there's interest. I think 72nd is actually going to be easier for now, since Cobra Company is closed. Hopefully Chris'll be up and running soon and the F conversion will be available again. Thanks for the input guys. Just trying to gage interest. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) I'd be interested....in 1/48 though, but as you said, after Chris is back up and running. Aaron Edited July 16, 2008 by strikeeagle801 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
snarlyq Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 THat would be awesome!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Helo_Dud Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm interested in as well...1/48th though. I've been collecting high-viz helo markings for sometime now. Isn't there anyone else other than Chris who could tackle this. I've been contemplating about getting one of those high end printers for myself. I've been reading up on them and checking out prices since the New Year. Either way yes I'd like a set. Joe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan 88 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'm down for a sheet........ or two. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimVereecke Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Count me in! Great looking scheme cheers, Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The issue is that there is no SH-60F kit out there either in 72nd or 48th. Both need conversions. The Cobra Company F conversion is the only game in town in 48th, so with Chris out of commission, it makes things a bit more difficult. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, Fightertown Decals is also doing an F sheet and so is TwoBobs (60B's IIRC). Mike Grant did one awhile back. I think that scheme would be a nice addition.

jaydar Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 Jon, Oh heck yes. I have a CC conversion and no decals yet. Those look great. Is that the commander's bird or a show scheme? joe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marine4 ever Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 (edited) i'd jump on that sheet like White on rice in 48 scale and wait patiently for chris to get better and open his doors again!!!! semper fi Dan Edited July 16, 2008 by marine4 ever Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted July 16, 2008 Share Posted July 16, 2008 I'd auto rotate onto one of those in 72nd in a flash!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
