USAFsparkchaser Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 http://www.128arw.ang.af.mil/art/mediagallery.asp?galleryID=6664 Thank you for putting Wisconsin ANG on this sheet. Looks like you went with the Screamin Eagle Nose art. Just curious there are no serial numbers on the sheet. Are they on a separate sheet and are they generic numbers or do you have profiles specifically for the aircraft depicted on the sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 5, 2015 Author Share Posted February 5, 2015 (edited) I finished the color page a couple days ago and sent it to be printed. This will be a multi-page affair; and I am still putting some final touches the black & white page. There is a second, black-only page with all the serial numbers, badges, common markings, crew names, etc. And there is a third, black & white page with markings for refueling boom ruddervators. I am still working on the final layout of these pages. Sorry for not making this point clearer in my haste to share the latest status of this project, I hope to be able to finish everything pretty soon.

longmc Posted February 5, 2015 Share Posted February 5, 2015 That is great news! I was just handed a 1/72 KC-135R kit today by a ex-boom operator from the 121st ARW Ohio ANG. He's the greatest guy, and I'd really like to build this for him in their (121st) markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 This would be my favorite: 134th Air Fueling Wing of the Air National Guard out of Knoxville, Tenn. Miss Dolly. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/dolly-parton-flies-high/ Doesn't say if it is an R model or not though. Well more like a DDD model :jaw-dropping:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
riffraff Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 From the start of the video it looks like an 'E' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 (edited) From the start of the video it looks like an 'E' Yup, looks like the original was an "E". I think the squadron has kept it going as a sort of "mascot"/signature aircraft in the "R" transition; ...and, since the video seems to end before the unveiling, here she is; Edited February 12, 2015 by 82Whitey51 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sentry30 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 From the start of the video it looks like an 'E' Not the same jet (yours is 59-1516??), but the same nose-art a couple of hours ago; I can take some detail shots if you like tomorrow before we send her back to the States..

82Whitey51 Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Very cool Daniel, thanks for sharing. So, I guess they do pass the name and art on to keep it in the squadron. Is the art work painted on or is it a large decal? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 Likely a large decal. Many units have the ability to print up decals now. The "Let it Roll" decal was one of the first I knew of that wasn't painted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sentry30 Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 I think the squadron has kept it going as a sort of "mascot"/signature aircraft in the "R" transition; You are very right, I was to fast in replying; the pics of the art on 59-1516 that I did see were from it as an R-model, so the one in your picture, not from the original E-model... Here's a pic from their latest carrier taken this morning just prior to de-icing; The jet should be safe back on it's homeplate by now.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThudDriver Posted February 13, 2015 Share Posted February 13, 2015 If you look at the leading edge of the artwork, it appears that it's already peeling away towards the back.... Frank Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sentry30 Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 It's a sticker indeed. Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) Added the final draft for the second page with the badges/serial numbers and other black markings - there is yet a third page with ruddervator markings and windshield/nose decorations.

KursadA Posted April 3, 2015 Author Share Posted April 3, 2015 (edited) Here are all the pages together. In addition to these, you will also get the Singapore/Turkish AF sheet as a bonus. Edited April 3, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
82Whitey51 Posted April 6, 2015 Share Posted April 6, 2015 Wow...what a fantastic sheet. Super job! I'm looking forward to picking one up and banging out a "R" model. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 7, 2015 Author Share Posted April 7, 2015 Thanks - a lot of effort went into this sheet; and I wanted it to be the USAF KC-135 sheet to buy for quite some time. Hopefully you will like it - I can't wait to see the first builds here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
longmc Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Looking forward to this one! I have several friends that were in the 121st Ohio ANG!! cheers, Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) It is on the way - I should have the decals in hand sometime next week; and will share photos soon after Fedex delivers them to the Caracal Residence. I will have the instruction sheets ready soon afterwards. The 1/144 version will follow very soon. Edited April 14, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 14, 2015 Share Posted April 14, 2015 Great news. Time to put in my order. Now what to do with my Fox-one sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 14, 2015 Author Share Posted April 14, 2015 (edited) Great news. Time to put in my order. Now what to do with my Fox-one sheet? You can put it next to their B-58 sheet. Another few of their sheets are also due for retirement soon..;=) Edited April 14, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Another few of their sheets are also due for retirement soon..;=) :rofl: Now that is funny since I actually do have their B-58 sheet. I wonder how ebay would do. Seems to me not everyone has heard about your product. Another few eh? Hmmm, the mind boggles. F-106 you did already so it can't be that. Maybe one of their Phantom sheets?

KursadA Posted April 24, 2015 Author Share Posted April 24, 2015 The KC-135R sheets are here. And they look beautiful. This was certainly one of the most complex decal projects I have designed so far. All the colors and details look pretty good to me. I expect the 300-sheet print run to go quickly.
