nightiemission Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm normally a prop guy but, a friend who doesn't have a computer asked me to see if there are decals around for the following VF-111 a/c (48th scale), F-8, F-4B,N,J & S F-14 and Possibly F/A-18. TIA, Terry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jozef Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 I'm normally a prop guy but, a friend who doesn't have a computer asked me to see if there are decals around for the following VF-111 a/c (48th scale), F-8, F-4B,N,J & S F-14 and Possibly F/A-18. TIA, Terry Hi Terry I am sincerely convinced, that besides of F/A-18 (and having a little, I mean little doubt about F.8) there have been VF-111 decals released for all of them in 48th scale (Micr/Super Scale and CAM come to my mind ). About their recent availability I am not all that sure. Regards Jozef Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan03 Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 Zotz Decals has a beautiful set for the F-14A in 1/48 -B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skull Leader Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 just FYI, VF-111 never flew hornets of any variant, so you won't find F/A-18 decals of 'em. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
wellzy Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 (edited) As Skull Leader said VF 111 did not fly F 18s but they did fly F5Es and F5Ns as VFC 111 , The only decals I know of are Two Bobs 48-143 good luck with your hunt. wellzy Edited January 24, 2009 by wellzy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Weasel V Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 just FYI, VF-111 never flew hornets of any variant, so you won't find F/A-18 decals of 'em. Also, VF-111 never flew the F-4J or F-4S; only F-4Bs and 'Ns. Micro/Superscale used to do a sheet for their F-4B MiG killer and I think Hasegawa did a 1/48 boxing for their F-4B/N. For the F-14A, Superscale has just released 'Miss Molly' on sheet 48-1212 and used to have a low viz set a long while back. Hasegawa also released a VF-111 boxing. See here Spruebrothers for these. They're currently using the F-5N as VFC-111. These are available from SB Decals also at Spruebrothers.

theplasticsurgeon Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 This boxing by Esci offers F4 VF-111 decals in 1/48. The kit inside is an F-4J though (bulged wings and slotted stabilator). Equally unfortunately I've already given away the VF-111 decals in mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jordan03 Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 I just saw that Modeldecal has a set for the F-4B @ Twobobs foe $5.40 Hope this helps -B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Any idea who did/does an accurate sheet for "Miss Molly"? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GreyGhost Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 Any idea who did/does an accurate sheet for "Miss Molly"? I believe Zotz ... Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fuji Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 (edited) Decal listing for VF-11 / 111 - VFC-111 SunDowners in 1/48 F4F Wildcat - None F6F Hellcat - SuperScale 481034 F8F Bearcat - None F9F Panther - Victory Productions 48008 F9F Cougar - None FJ Fury - None F-11 Tiger None F-8 Crusader - SuperScale 48-775, Cutting Edge 48-211 (MiG Killer), SuperScale 48-83 F-4B / N - SuperScale 48-325 (MiG Killer), F-14 Tomcat - Zotz 48024, SuperScale 48-1212, AeroMaster 48-522, SuperScale 48-122 (low vis), SuperScale 48-362, F-5N - SB Decals 48004, TwoBobs 48-143, SuperScale 48-1198 This obviously is not all of them as there are many other decals companies and various kit manufacturers have included SunDowner markings in different offerings of their kits. I know of at least two other sheets I have not listed but do not have the numbers for them at the moment, I will update them as I find them. If anyone has any more, please let me know. Also, Fightertown is supposedly coming out with a sheet of VF-111 tomcats in schemes which have not been down before. I am looking forward to that as Miss Molly and other schemes have been done to death. Edited January 26, 2009 by Fuji Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jonathan_Lotton Posted January 25, 2009 Share Posted January 25, 2009 If you're patient, Fightertown Decals will be doing the Sundowners too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
