Simon Cornes Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Help!! I have just picked up an AMT boxing of this BUFF and very pleased I am too. Only snag is that I fancy finishing it in the markings of 58-0239 'Loring Moose Gooser' 69th Bomb Squadron, 42nd Bomb Wing, 1974 'Giant Voice'. It would be great if there was a decal sheet including that option, but I don't think there is! I have very poor illustration on the back of the 'In Action' book and a better photo in the Modern Combat Aircraft book but not good enough to have a chance of producing my own artwork on some carrier film. Can anyone help? All answers very much appreciated, Cheers Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Only 42 BW sheet I recall is by Almark, it's for the lo-vis 1980s "Strategic" scheme. Best thing I can suggest is the old Microscale 72-152, it has the large winged 2 AF emblem for the tail. I see both of those sheets on eBay from time to time...

HTH Jonah Thanks Jonah I have the Microscale sheet you mention - my first after market decal sheet, bought in about 1977 and used to finish my Monogram BUFF as the 'Lilac Panther'!! I still have the rest of the sheet and I think that the winged 2 AF emblem may be too big for the 'G'? I can still get the Almark sheet and there's nothing on there that suits! I know cutting Edge did at least 5 BUFF sheets so I'll try to have a look at those to see if one set of markings at least ticks the boxes!! I'm amazed that someone hasn't done a decal set featuring just BUFF nose art? Very much Microscale's territory! Cheers Simon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 I think there were 6 Cutting Edge sheets, though not sure if there's anything on there that would help. I'd buy a sheet of BUFF nose art, for sure. Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B52HVet Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 The Cutting Edge sheets are getting more & more rare, and the few I've seen online recently have ranged into the ridiculous for price. I'll go through some of my references and see if I can dig up some nose art pics for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
