KursadA Posted May 16, 2017 Author Share Posted May 16, 2017 You don't see one of these built very often - here is a great build: http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234993221-project-warning-star-lockheed-ec-121d-plusmodel-kit-172/&page=2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Just picked up another 1/144 kit in anticipation of this sheet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AnthonyWan Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Now if someone would just release a new tool EC-121 in 1/72.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Model did a re-release of the Heller 1/72 EC-121 with some extra resin parts. Heller is also re-releasing the Super Connie and you can get conversion parts from OzMods or dmold modelworks.

Ljmorrow92 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Scratch that. I did some additional looking just to verify. The Plus Model is currently available on Hannants. It's an EC-121 based off the L-1049 Super Connie. The Heller re-release is the L-749 and isn't the Super Connie. It could still be used for the PO-1(VW-2) Short Warning Star. RVHP has a conversion for that but it wouldn't be a true EC-121. That's all available at Hannants as well. I'm sorry to get your hopes up... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Fisher does some nice parts for the ec-121 as well Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Kursad Are these still a possibility for 2017? Or bumped to next year? Charlie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 You guys sure are in full-court press mode today ;-) I don't know - we still have three months to go until the end of the year and two more release batches that I have not fully mapped out. The 1/144 sheet is now a C-121/EC-121 sheet really - I have been adding a couple transport models as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 I too am looking forward to the 1/144 C/EC-121 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 So is there a chance this one will be reissued next year? I know part 2 is coming out in November, but I'm gathering for a build and want to build the AFRES plane. Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am still wondering why Part 2 was much more popular than Part 1 . My guess is that most folks would like to build a camouflaged BatCat. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Thanks Kursad...best news I've had all day. I just got my Heller EC-121 today and going to start playing with it. By the time the decals come out I'll be ready. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Unfortunely the chance of that happening is equal to the chance Tamiya will release a 1/32 Douglas A2D Skyshark. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love all those schemes, I just have no room for the 1/72 kit. Hence my interest in seeing these in 1/144! I've got several on the Minicraft kits! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Part 2 has a regular USAF EC-121D that flew during the Vietnam War, although I have no idea if that aircraft was actually in that theater. What I really want is a USAF Disco EC-121 that served as an AWACS during the Linebacker campaign in 1972. Who would want a model of an aircraft that actually participated in a shooting war and supplied information to fighter jets to make actual MiG kills during the most intense air campaign of the war? I dunno, ME maybe... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ljmorrow92 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I would just love to have a 552nd AECW bird. Every single one of the decals that have been produced for USAF birds have been 551st. They're great decals, I'm just biased to 552nd stuff due to family ties. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Having done a little more research, I see that it was Detachment 1 of the 552nd ACW that was deployed to SEA, and assisted with 25 MiG kills. We need 552nd decals!!!

We need 552nd decals!!! I agree! That's been discussed in this thread if you read back to the posts of a couple of years ago. A third EC-121 sheet, potentially including 552nd decals, was reportedly in the planning stages back then. Obviously it was shelved in favor of other projects. Maybe we'll see it one day. I'd love to see decals for "Triple Nickel" (now in the USAF Museum), "Camellia City 49er," and the EC-121Q--all 552nd aircraft.

fessSto Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Resurrecting this thread. I completely missed out on the first round of these decals, and now that I have a kit to slap them on can't find any. Wondering if the storied third set is still.in the works? I, too, would like a USAF bird that participated in SEA, but beggars can't be choosers... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 9, 2022 Author Share Posted March 9, 2022 There will be a reprint of at least one of the previous C-121 sheets and a third sheet before the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
