otis252 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Great work Jake. I'm so hoping for that RF-4C sheet in 32nd scale! Chuck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

thegoodsgt Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Gotta have 2x 48005 for sure :)/> Ditto that! I often see guys say they'll buy two sheets of new releases. If I may ask, why would you buy more than one sheet? I don't mean to be a troll. I'm sincerely curious. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I don't mean to be a troll. I'm sincerely curious. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup I often screw up a decal or two during the build, and this way I always have a plan B. Seems if I only have one decal sheet, I ALWAYS screw one up on the sheet and sometimes finding a replacement can be difficult. That is my reason anyway! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 (edited) Plus when they sell out which being Phantoms & Vipers they most likely will,you can sell the spare for stupid $$$ When another much missed firm reprinted their Aggressor F-15 sheet as a 48/32 combo they sold out again almost immediately I sold both of my spares for over $100 on eBay.When the same firm reprinted for a 3rd time adding the Splinter schemed Aggressor Eagle shortly before shutting up shop I snagged one that i sold on EBay for $136.00. Gotta love a bidding war and modellers desperate not to miss out. Edited March 26, 2014 by mungo1974 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted March 27, 2014 Author Share Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) Here are the instructions for the Test Vipers sheet. Cartograf says they'll ship to me next week, so they'll be a week later than originally expected. If anyone spots any typos or mistakes, please speak up. I haven't yet sent the instructions to the printers, so I can still fix any errors. Thanks boys! Edited March 27, 2014 by jmel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I often see guys say they'll buy two sheets of new releases. If I may ask, why would you buy more than one sheet? I don't mean to be a troll. I'm sincerely curious. Steven Brown Scale Model Soup I like having a "just in case" sheet. Just in case I screw up, just in case I want to build another, just in case I hold on to it for a couple years and ebay it. I move every couple years and often times I end up giving the aircarft models away I build in that time frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted March 29, 2014 Author Share Posted March 29, 2014 RF-4C sheets will be here on Tuesday, but it will still be another week or so on the Vipers and Phantoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
