Falconxlvi Posted November 8, 2013 Share Posted November 8, 2013 (edited) Great news! How about some 422 birds with the OT tail codes and the green checkerboard fin flash - I do not believe those jets have been covered thus far.

ghatherly Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) How about doing a sheet with the latest Kadena Eagles that will be featured in your new book, featuring the Mig killer jets flying from their now. Maybe offer the set with enough numbers so that any of the tail numbers in the squadron could be built. Edited November 11, 2013 by ghatherly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How about some 422 birds with the OT tail codes and the green checkerboard fin flash - I do not believe those jets have been covered thus far. Great idea! I can add the 53TEG flagship, circa 2007, onto this sheet. How about doing a sheet with the latest Kadena Eagles that will be featured in your new book, featuring the Mig killer jets flying from their now. Maybe offer the set with enough numbers so that any of the tail numbers in the squadron could be built. Wow, that's pretty close to what I was thinking. Here's one in their new markings that I really like. Any interest in this in 1/32 from anyone besides myself? Here's another possibility for this sheet from the Missouri ANG.

ghatherly Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 (edited) Jake, I only build in 1/32, so I am very interested. That is why I suggested a comprehensive sheet, as the Subdued ZZ is not available in any decal set. When i made my Kadena Eagle of Magil's jet, I ended Up making a stencil for the ZZ and then taking the aircraft numbers from the Twobobs Bitburg set that I was not using in that color scheme. I'd buy anything in 1/32 for an Eagle if it is made. Edited November 11, 2013 by ghatherly Quote Link to post Share on other sites

USAFsparkchaser Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 I like the Kadena and Langley jet! What is the tail flash on the inside of the stabs of the Langley jet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Man, 5102 has been passed around nearly as much as Housdan's mom. Eglin, Langley and now New Orleans. Nice line-up of aircraft. I too like the OT test birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falconxlvi Posted November 15, 2013 Share Posted November 15, 2013 Nice! I can't wait to get this sheet! I really like the Langley Wing King jet too. Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 looks nice Jake. Nice to see the 104th wing jet, sadly it is a bit different now, must be new regs like the 44th I like the 53rd TEG as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NECRengineer Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Im for the 104th decals, The 159th ones are sharp too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted November 18, 2013 Author Share Posted November 18, 2013 I'll send these to Cartograf in the next week or two. With luck, I'll get them back before christmas, but we'll see. What is the tail flash on the inside of the stabs of the Langley jet? It is a simple stripe with all three of the squadron colors. looks nice Jake. Nice to see the 104th wing jet, sadly it is a bit different now, must be new regs like the 44th Yeah, after I drew it, I sent the profile to the Vice Commander. In return, he sent me some pics of it how it looks now. It still looks good, but I agree with you. I don't care for it as much as its older scheme from a year ago.

johncrow Posted November 23, 2013 Share Posted November 23, 2013 I'm in for ANY 1/32....though I especially dig that Langley bird! jp Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThePhantomTwo Posted December 9, 2013 Share Posted December 9, 2013 Love the ANG Eagles,even like the Langley Eagle,it was on the ramp at Savannah when we did DACM against them in 1993(or '92,eons ago). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
B-1 Nut Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Got a buddy who flies for the 104th. You make 'em in 1/32 and I'm game. I'm about 75% thru with a model of the old A model he flew with them. He sent me some great pics of the wing bird right when they painted it a while back. I sent them to Scott before ABD went defunct. If you ever think you could use them, I still have them and would be happy to send them to you Jake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken Middleton Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 In case you guys were wondering, this is how 85-0125 looks now, taken on 7 December 2013 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 If you ever think you could use them, I still have them and would be happy to send them to you Jake. I really appreciate the offer, but I was up there shooting their jets a while ago and got what I need. Thanks, though! Jake Quote Link to post Share on other sites
