KursadA Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 (edited) You will get a lot of decals for the $19.99 selling price - this set consist of five sheets including the Singapore/Turkish AF bonus sheet. The stencil sheet will be available separately as well. Edited April 24, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) The KC-135R sheet is available for preorder now. Caracal Models CD72030 - 1/72 USAF KC-135R Stratotanker With only 300 sets available, I would recommend preordering one if you like the KC-135R. First 200 orders will receive the Singapore/Turkish AF KC-135R sheet as a bonus. I did this set primarily because it is a favorite subject of mine, and I would be highly surprised if anyone else ever does a similarly comprehensive KC-135 sheet in this scale. If it is sold out, it is not likely to be reprinted ever again. Edited May 11, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Well - you're down to at least 299 now :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Well - you're down to at least 299 now :)/>/> 298! Kursad, will the stenciling sheet be available as a separate order? I know I plan on building at least two of these. If not one will get the kit decals for stenciling/data. Edited May 11, 2015 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 11, 2015 Author Share Posted May 11, 2015 (edited) Dashboard shows 63 orders since the announcements - so these are going fast. Certainly a good start. Andy - I planned to offer the stencil sheet as a separate item, but the Microscale-printed add-on sheet that would have the common USAF markings (US AIR FORCE titles, national insignia, and command names) is still not ready. This small sheet is necessary to complete the stencil set so you have all the common markings for an USAF jet - even the national insignia and common markings in the AMT/ERTL and Italeri reboxes are inaccurate. So it looks like the add-on will be available only later; perhaps even next month. It would be odd to have the add-on sheet available after the sheet is sold out, but it might even turn out that way. Sorry for the planning mishap there, things like this happen when you work at this pace. Edited May 11, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 So does this mean the 1/144 sheet is close to going to printer? Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted May 12, 2015 Share Posted May 12, 2015 I hope I got my order in. I purchased 3 sets!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 21, 2015 Author Share Posted May 21, 2015 There are now fewer than 50 sets left. Interest for this sheet has been very close to that for the B-58 sheet - many thanks for making projects like this possible. I am literally swamped with orders and shipping everything will take me a while : there was a similar level of demand for the AMX sheet. I would appreciate your patience while I work through the backlog and ship everything in the next week or so. Thanks! Kursad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is amazing that you can produce something that no one thinks is needed and look what happens. Sells like hot cakes. You must have a crystal ball By the way did you get my PM? Know you are busy so maybe you missed it. Thanks for the great products and keep them coming. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) Folks, I am still trying to make a dent in the huge list of shipments of the "preorder storm" that occurred between May 11 and May 14 - please bear with me for a few more days; and all preorders will be out of the door. Edited May 27, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 6, 2015 Author Share Posted June 6, 2015 I shipped all preorders before Wednesday night, and many of you in the US might have received your KC-135R sheets by now - let me know what you think. The reference pages will be online by Sunday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 (edited) I received my order yesterday and the KC-135 sheet is amazing! The registration is dead spot on, I'm really glad you used Cartograph to do these. I have one KC-135R in my stash and I'm so glad I do. The only thing disappointing about the sheet is the Utah ANG 151st didn't make the cut, but the units you did put on the sheet are great. Hopefully you do another one with them. My 2 cents...

Djack Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) Got my sheets yesterday, they look amazing! Glad you stepped up and produced this sheet. If there's a part 2, I throw in my vote for the KS ANG 'Jayhawks' and 'Coyotes' as well. Great job! David Edited June 8, 2015 by Djack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 8, 2015 Author Share Posted June 8, 2015 (edited) I'm glad you liked it. The sheet is sold out now - less than two weeks after I shipped the first preorders. The retailers will get their shipments later this week, so you should be able to buy the sheet from them for a while more. Contrary to what you may think; I am not too happy it sold out this fast. The first reviews are not even online yet. It was a fairly costly set to print, and I don't think I will ever be able to reprint it again. I will check with Cartograf to see if they have any left, and I will do my best to make a small quantity available without reprinting if possible. The extra stencil sheets will be available in late July. Thanks for your tremendous response to this sheet. For years you have been asking decal companies for silkscreen-printed, quality KC-135R decals. I always thought it would be a popular subject, and I remain puzzled why nobody else did these before.

Piker38 Posted June 9, 2015 Share Posted June 9, 2015 I would be very interested in some quality markings for the KC-135A and KC-135Q. Do you have any plans for these ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not at this time, sorry. The next KC-135 sheet will be a 1/144 scale-down of CD72030. Edited June 9, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ed Nirel Posted June 10, 2015 Share Posted June 10, 2015 Lots more R model options out there too... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 10, 2015 Author Share Posted June 10, 2015 (edited) Sure - it would be fairly easy to develop a new KC-135R sheet using the infrastructure I designed for the first one. But let's not push luck too far - I want some time to pass until the first sheet gets sold out everywhere and enough people get interested in a follow-on sheet.

Plus with one sheet out a second sheet right away would be too much in my opinion. With the subjects and speed at which you release stuff I think I have to start an assembly line to do justice to your decals. And unfortunately the assembly line would be all sorts of different models unlike a traditional Model T Ford style of line :) Keep them coming please. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
