KursadA Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Barring any last minute changes, this is the final layout for the first page of the C-2 sheet (the second page consists of red sunburst designs for the tails and the fuselage of the special scheme).

Bones Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Hey, I just realized.....I flew with all the COD`s from your sheet. But when I flew with 162176 (21), that COD wears just usual Providers Markings and no sun )-: And when I flew with 162144 and 162158, that COD`s wears just grey tails and just the Squadron batch on the Fuselage. I flew out to the Bush in July 2011 with 162154 (43). So I had a looooot of great memories with that birds! THANKS for that sheet! Buth I think there is something missing on your sheet and I hope it is not too late..... In 2011, the 162154 wears something special marked on the Tail (Special Thanks To Bear Aces) and an additional red horse on the dark blue ramp door! Take a look Kind Regards Kai Here you can see 162158 in 2005 approaching the CVN-71 TR (just a few days before she recived the colourfull markings on the Tail. Here you can see 162176 on Cat #2 onboard the CVN-76 RR (before she left that CVW and received an new home with CVW-5) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 (edited) Hi Kai, Thanks for the photos. It's certainly not too late, receiving this kind of feedback is the whole point of posting the draft here before finalizing it. I added the markings to the sheet, I think they will be a nice touch.

KursadA Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 The product Web page is up, so there is no going back now. I will announce a release date next week and probably start accepting preorders a couple weeks after that. http://www.caracalmodels.com/cd48012.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Great news since I missed out on the last stuff I really don't want to miss this sheet considering it is such a small print run. Thanks again for doing this I for one really appreciate it.

KursadA Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Just to clarify some questions I received about these decals and particularly the yellow "school bus" VRC-40 anniversary scheme: This will be a 2-sheet set, and the second sheet consists of the red "sunburst" markings for the tails of all aircraft and the fuselage of the VRC-40 anniversary bird. I'm still working on the final designs to ensure that the stripe decals are well-engineered and conform nicely. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted February 26, 2012 Author Share Posted February 26, 2012 There's been tremendous interest in this sheet and I can't ship the orders fast enough! All preorders have gone out as of last night, and I have a bunch of new orders piled up. Thanks again. For those of you who keep asking about a 1/72 scale version: I will absolutely scale this sheet down as soon as a mainstream injection-molded 1/72 C-2 kit is released.

tberres2 Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why wait for injection molded? RVHP sells a great resin conversion. I'd definitely buy a sheet in 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Why wait for injection molded? RVHP sells a great resin conversion. I'd definitely buy a sheet in 1/72. I'm sure you would, but this is a fairly large sheet with a complicated design that would need some tweaking to fit the RVHP conversion (which I don't have). I don't expect significant profits from my 1/72 sheets; many of them require little effort to re-scale and I am satisfied as long as they pay for themselves and get me some recognition/goodwill among 1/72 modelers. But for this much effort I will need to sell at least 40-50 immediately to make it worthwhile. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
