Rex Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 that's great news,,,,but, I don't even have my A-6B finished yet,,,,oh well,,,,,I better start to building faster, I guess Rex (the doofus that came home from the Nats with the nose,,,,and just got the decals last month) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewS Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 You can expect some more orders around Apr 21st, Mark; these look great and I'm especially interested in the theme to 72-015. Out of curiosity, do you have any intention on doing F-4Gs from VF-213 in the standard scheme? I really like the look of the unit markings as carried (probably) after the green scheme was trialled - perhaps by that stage they were no longer F-4Gs.... Anyway, thanks very much for the heads-up. Andrew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Murph Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 I really like the look of the unit markings as carried (probably) after the green scheme was trialled - perhaps by that stage they were no longer F-4Gs.... Andrew, They remained F-4G's for a while after being repainted in the regular gray and white scheme. They were eventually brought back to B model standards though.

AndrewS Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks Murph, Much appreciated. It would be a very straightforward decision to purchase any sheet with those markings; apologies that I can't illustrate any examples at the moment, but there is a picture of Bu No. 152257 (perhaps a -B anyway) on pg 33 of Osprey's USN F-4 Phantom MiG Killers, 1965-70 in the markings I'm referring to. Again, thanks for your clarification and to Mark for his efforts. Andrew. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
UKPonchoMan Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Ooohhhh - 20th SOS eh... There goes next month's pay! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
juanchopancho Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Excellent! I'd love to see more Mig Killers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 More great choices there, Mark! My infatuation with Vietnam-era F-4s has only increased as I've taken more of an interest in the armament they carried, so your subject matter will further inspire me to build more! I'm eager to see the 20th SOS helicopters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Thanks for the excellent subjects Mark,can I request a VF-96 bird that is not Showtime-100 related? Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReiRei0 Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 So I'll make the same offer as the with the last new Wolfpak sheets... If anyone was thinking of buying 72-016 and wants to defray the costs a little, I'll kick a couple bucks your way if you're willing to part with the decals for the Fleming CMH UH-1F and a photocopy of the instructions.

RedCrown Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Hi Mark, Any chance of seeing the Pavelow decals in 1/48th as well? Rick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 UH-1N leopard camo It is something similar to the JAWS scheme or another one? Luigi Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 Gents: Thanks for the kind words. I'm certainly open to more Vietnam era Phantoms. The Leopard scheme is from the J-CATCH program which may be similar to the JAWS helicopters. I'll check. For those of you who would like to see a 48th scale helicopter sheet I have the artwork nearly done. The problem is 48th scale doesn't sell all that well for me. When I have the artwork done for 72-016 I'll post a thread in the Helicopter sub-forum and if I get enough replies I will do the sheet. We're talking 50 Gents saying they want the sheet before I seriously consider doing one. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GoBlue96 Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Gents:As promised here's the artwork for the instructions for sheet 72-016: Mark Given that that E-2 flew over my head on many occasions (and that I happen to have a partially built Fujimi E-2 kit lying around) I am definitely going to have to grab that sheet. So cool, thanks!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Any chance VF-111 would be done in 1/48? Also would love the MH-53 stuff in 1/48 I have a kit and CC update set, just need some decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ElectroSoldier Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Yu guys think you could use those Pave Low decals for any of the paint schemes the type used? Ive got some in 72nd and some in 48th scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rex Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 my sheet #15 arrived today this is the first aftermarket sheet in a very long time that has markings on it that I will use almost all of the sheet the A-4E scheme surprised me when I went to add it to my build list, because it turned out to be the only Early E line jet available in 1/72 from the aftermarket the only other E Early was in the very old Scalecraft A-4E kit, and the identical VA-12 markings in the old AMT kit,,,,,and the Scalecraft's were aged beyond use the day I bought the kit, and the AMT kit of course comes with AMT decals, lol so, if you want to build an E without a hump,,,,,this is the only one available Mark,,,this makes it easy for me to give a suggestion 1/72 USN line jet humpless A-4E markings, the Super Echo is well covered already (and yes, I did check online decal databases before posting this) should be fun builds, and add some interest to the display shelves, thanks for going out on the limb with your choices Rex Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted April 27, 2009 Author Share Posted April 27, 2009 Rex: Thanks for the kind words. Added your requests to the list. Thanks, Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
