JEFlint Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Thanks for the heads-up. I've been checking Wolfpack since you mentioned this decal sheet and it's still listed as "TBA". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Hi Kursad! With the mind numbing amount of great decals you are now releasing, I suspect that this decal sheet has dropped in priority. Hopefully, the 1/72 version of the JASDF/JMSDF UH-60J is still somewhere on your list. I have a few Hasegawa UH-60J kits that could use your decals! :worship:/> Have fun modeling Mike :cheers:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 This project was/is dependent on the Wolfpack conversion kit, which is yet to materialize. To complicate things further, my Japanese distributor has gone out of business, so distribution in Japan is still iffy. I want to put this artwork to use in one way or another, so I will release a 1/72 sheet at some point. But a 1/48 sheet will have to wait for a kit or a comprehensive conversion kit. I'd take one in 1/72, if only to put on an Osprey ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 26, 2015 Author Share Posted January 26, 2015 (edited) I really want to put this artwork to use in some way - trust me. It is just not the highest priority for the time being; but I am constantly looking for a willing resin partner to make a complete conversion kit in 1/48 (not only the nose, but all the accoutrement like the bubble windows, antenna fit etc.). It is on the 1/72 release list for sometime in the future, but printing both scales simultaneously will yield significant cost savings.

redwoodmodels Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 Hi. I'm interested in this too. Here are some references for the anniversary schemes. http://masm.fr/galleryjapanHelo.htm Beyond the antennas on the nose and the bulged windows, what's not in the kit?

Here are some references for the anniversary schemes. http://masm.fr/galleryjapanHelo.htm Beyond the antennas on the nose and the bulged windows, what's not in the kit? JASDF/JMSDF UH-60J have quite a few antennae and small details that are not on the 1/48 kits. The nose and bulged windows are enough to discourage almost all but the most determined helicopter modelers, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tobiK Posted February 25, 2015 Share Posted February 25, 2015 I highly appreciate a decal sheet and a conversion set for such a helo in 1/48! Besides the white-orange USCG HH-60 I only like those striking japanese Blackhawks, and nothing else. Sorry for the olive drab and grey guys. I hope my lines could encourage you for this project!

RotorheadTX Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Update: I will go ahead and release this sheet in 1/72 first in April. YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! 2 for me please!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 YESSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!! 2 for me please!! :thumbsup:/> Not sure if you noticed but that quote about April release was made in Feb 2013. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes, I have long given up on giving exact dates for releases unless they are already ready to print. That said, the 1/72 UH-60J sheet is in the pipeline. I will release it at a suitable time of my choosing - I have only few release slots every month, and most of those have to be assigned to sheets for new kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gekko Posted April 3, 2023 Share Posted April 3, 2023 (edited) On 1/26/2015 at 12:03 PM, KursadA said: Realmente quiero poner esta obra de arte en uso de alguna manera, confÃa en mÃ. Simplemente no es la máxima prioridad por el momento; pero constantemente estoy buscando un socio de resina dispuesto a hacer un kit de conversión completo en 1/48 (no solo la nariz, sino todo el equipamiento como las ventanas de burbuja, ajuste de antena, etc.). Está en la lista de versiones 1/72 para algún momento en el futuro, pero imprimir ambas escalas generará simultáneamente ahorros de costos significativos. Hello, I hope it's not too late, just a couple of days ago I accidentally came across this post, they sent you an E-mail to Caracal Models, I have the conversion set for the interior and exterior of the UH-60J JASDF/ JMSDF in 1/48, in the middle of 2020 I finished the master and left it saved when I couldn't find a decal sheet to be able to decorate it in that version of the two blue colors, it also includes the parts for the UH-60j SP update and the update UH-60JII and could make the parts for the 40th anniversary UH-60J that it wears in the nose Edited April 3, 2023 by Gekko Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted April 7, 2023 Share Posted April 7, 2023 That is outstanding, Gekko! This may clear the way to get this sheet printed in 1/72 and, of course, 1/48 to go with your conversion sets. Have fun modeling! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted April 11, 2023 Share Posted April 11, 2023 It would be a huge mistake not to include this tail art from the 40th Anniversary of JASDF. BTW, Monokio released those in 1/72 long time ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gekko Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 The master for the interior and exterior conversion for the UH-60J JASDF/JMSDF in 1/48 is ready, finished and updated, now we have to prepare the pieces to make the molds and be able to take the first casting tests. Does anyone know how I can upload images here to show the model with the pieces presented? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 10, 2023 Author Share Posted May 10, 2023 You can send the images to me via email and I will post them here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gekko Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 Good morning, ready, I already sent you the images by email. Â I hope you can give me your opinion about what you think of the set, thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 11, 2023 Author Share Posted May 11, 2023 I received the photos and they really look great. I will share them here in the thread tonight when I get home. I think these conversion sets will really sell well if you can make them in quantity and market them effectively. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 I have really wanted to do a UH-60J for a very long time, hope this all happens. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
