texasraider Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) Does anyone know if there is any plans for some decal sheets for ANG KC-135s for the new Minicraft kits?....Would love to see some sheets for Maine,Utah,Washington, and New Hampshire to name a few!!!...Thanks Marshall Edited April 24, 2014 by texasraider Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 ARC member, Jennings, is most certainly working on some for release under his Fundecals brand label. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Wolfpack released some a while back. I remember Ohio ANG and Grissom AFRC being on there. March, too, maybe? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 (edited) We've got a whole bunch of ANG and other E and R models on the way soon... www.fundekals.com Edited April 24, 2014 by Jennings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 I only remember the Wolfpack KC-135s being 1/72. You're correct that March was the third option, then he did another sheet with Fairchild, McConnell, and Seymour Johnson. One other sheet had a Shamu R from Robins. Really looking forward to seeing what you've got planned in 1/144 Jennings! Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 This is a start on it :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texasraider Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 Awesome!!!!!! Can't wait till these sheets are ready!!!!...Thanks Marshall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Awesome, Jennings! I'll be picking a set up for the Ohio ANG markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) It's great that you've included the E model from the 150th! Love it! Corey Edited April 25, 2014 by Corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 That looks very nice indeed. Will the sheet include KC-135s from Desert Storm and the subsequent operations with all of the nose art? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Not sure. The DS period nose art tended to be extremely elaborate and often airbrushed. Re-creating it in 1/144 would potentially require a huge number of colors (= more expensive printing) and/or offset printing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I was hoping to get pictures today of the 190th with the Coyote on the fin flash. Apparently, the CO thought it looked too cluttered, and they are back to block KANSAS on the tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Aww really?? What a shame. That was far and away the best looking ANG tail band! Hopefully that CC will retire soon! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This is a start on it :)/> Nice.....I like the AZ ANG Copperheads and Chilean AF machines. Any thoughts on doing these in 1/72 scale for the AMT/Italeri/Heller kits? BTW, Italeri has announced a re-release of the KC-135A for this year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We'll see! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Some really nice options for the KC-135. Too bad most of the schemes are devoid of colour with the exception of the tail bands or special Tiger Meet schemes. That Chilean scheme is a bit different and most welcome. Thanks for including that Jennings. I was actually lucky enough to see the Ohio KC-135 way back in the late 80s at Wright Patterson AFB. What a sharp looking scheme. Maybe I am getting my KC-135s mixed up but I think we were told this was the squadron with the responsibility of refuelling the SR-71 fleet. Special fuel and all that jazz. I this these are the same markings that was in the Revell kit that was also in 1/144 and issued so many years ago. French KC-135s too when they release the R version?

Jennings Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Frenchies for sure! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 When the R is released I hope we get some Wisconsin decals with all the cool nose art. Also still waiting for them in 1/72! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yep Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 (edited) Those look great Jennings; between you, Minicraft, and Italeri, it's a great time to be a KC-135 modeler! I hope to see a Shamu option for the E also! Jonah Edited April 27, 2014 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for the answer, and I hope that you do as I would like some Desert Storm KC-135s on the display that I do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 My votes are for McConnell and Altus R-models. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Supertom Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 I'm a bit late to the party here as I've been taking some time off from modeling, but I take it the Illini KC-135 was dropped? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Nothing is dropped. It just hasn't been done because Minicraft hasn't announced when the KC-135R will be released. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Any chance of some 1/72nd scale sheets too...? Looking to do a MAINEiacs "R" model and a New Hampshire ANG birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
