KursadA Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 (edited) I am enabling preorders for my new 1/48 early USMC Harrier sheet, which will start shipping on Feb 25. Options for 11 early USMC Harriers, printed by Cartograf, sized for the Monogram kit (but should work on others as well).

KursadA Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 (edited) The instruction sheets arrived today - it will be a few days before I can pack these, but I am getting closer to shipping these on Feb 25 as planned.

KursadA Posted February 27, 2013 Author Share Posted February 27, 2013 The first sheets will be in the mail this afternoon. Thanks for your patience - if you like Harriers, I think you will like this sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonanza27 Posted March 13, 2013 Share Posted March 13, 2013 Just got my mail today and the Caracal decal for the AV-8A/C. WOW this is a great decal sheet. Thanks Caracal for doing this decal. I can toss my old Microscale AV-8A decals! The artwork is truly outstanding as is the printing and instruction sheets. My money was well spent again, purchasing a Caracal decal.

dmk0210 Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) Got mine. This is another beautiful sheet from Carcal! And enough to do a whole bunch of Jumpjets. It was much needed as there is nothing else out there for these kits. Thinks for bringing this one to us KursadA B)/> Edited March 21, 2013 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
coneheadff Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 Ordered my set a couple of days ago. The only thing now I have to do is to find one of my Monogram Harriers Just one question...What are those Skyhawks kill marks? Never found the story behind it. Thanks a lot for the sheet!!! Great job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 The Harrier decals arrived from Sprue Bros yesterday. Very nice!! I think I know what my next build might be.... Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bonanza27 Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 (edited) Just decaling Monogram Harrier using 48027, and they are just the best. The quality and detail are so superior to the old Microscale sheets I had (and intended to use). The decals make my so-so modeling efforts look good. Anyway, the art, color and printing are outstanding and just a joy to use. Thanks Caracal! Edited May 30, 2013 by Bonanza27 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 31, 2013 Author Share Posted May 31, 2013 I'm glad you're enjoying the sheet; the Harrier sheet sure has been very popular. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Sooooo...the new Kinetic Gold Series AV-8A is coming in October. What are the chances of a reprint of this sold-out sheet? 😁 Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted August 31, 2020 Author Share Posted August 31, 2020 It really depends on what the kit decals will look like, and how different the rudder shape is. Having offered this same artwork in two different scales (and about to offer it a third scale soon), I already got a lot of mileage out of it. I wouldn't mind having to design a new sheet for the Kinetic kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Eagerly awaiting this kit which ought to be the new standard in 1/48th 👍🏻 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gilles Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 Maybe you could include some TAV-8s in the new sheet ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted August 31, 2022 Share Posted August 31, 2022 Getting ready to apply the rudder decals to my 1/48 AV-8A for VMAT-203. I've been looking at photos and I wonder if the red and blue stripes are transposed? In other words, the red stripe should go along the rudder line instead of blue as on the otherwise fantastic sheet? Probably easy enough to just paint it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Here is a photo of TAV-8A 159382 KD-04 taken at Cherry Point circa 1978. And the gate guard at Cherry Point, AV-8A 158976 taken circa 2008 (Air-Britain) Lastly, a link to my Monogram 1/48 AV-8A Harrier, built SOOTB circa 1983. As you can see, Monogram interposed the red and blue on the rudder. Ah well! Live and learn! HTH, Dutch Edited August 31, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

For years the Monogram AV-8A was the best first generation Harrier in ANY scale. Edited August 31, 2022 by AD-4N clarity Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 (edited) The RH side of the rudder is marked differently, at least on the two tails visible in this photo: red stripe at trailing edge. Edited September 3, 2022 by RichB63 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Makes sense it’s different on each side, when viewing read left to right red, white and blue. The EGA is pointed inward, on the uniform or left of stand alone. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rich, I do believe that you are right! Monogram got the starboard side correct at the expense of the port side. What do you say Kursad? Can you swap the red and blue on the port side rudder for VMAT-203 on your next reprint of CD48027? K/r, Dutch Edited September 4, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

K/r, Dutch I'm not sure when (or if) I am going to do a reprint of this sheet, but I made a note of the correction and I will make sure the upcoming 1/32 sheet will be correct.
