CD72030 - KC-135R


Recommended Posts

Just a reminder that the sheet will be available at Hannants and Sprue Brothers soon. I sold all that I allocated to myself, but the resellers should have enough stock for a while.

It became the top selling item in Hannants in just two days; so I'm afraid it will sell out there pretty soon, too - get yours while you can.

I just received my KC-135 sheet and wow, Kursad it is amazing. The instruction booklet is great too and it is making it hard to select a scheme. Maybe I should build the kit first and then worry about what decals to put on.

I do have a question though. As part of your deal when you bought the KC-135 sheet, you included the Singapore KC-135 sheet as a bonus. I looked in my package and there does not seem to be any layout instructions for the Singapore scheme. I even went to your website and thought I would have seen the instructions there. Is there a link I am missing somewhere?

Hi Chris,

I have been busy shipping preorders this past weekend - I will finish the CD72030 references page tonight and will add the instruction sheet for CD72032 there. It will be at:

Hi Kursad

No issue what so ever. Just thought I missed something. No rush on my part believe me.

Still the top seller at Hannants after five days - when will the craziness end?? The separate stencil sheets will be available in August, so you will be able to build multiple options from one set.

Wow, such good news I think :) Glad to hear about the stencil sheet as there seems to be a couple on the sheet I would like to build. Of course actually building them will be another matter but that is not your problem Kursad. At least now I will have no excuse that I do not have decals.

Did you ever get the photos you requested of the KC-135R/AAR slipway for inclusion in your upcoming R-model sheet? I sent them to your email a while back.

Regards,

Jeff

I did, but it was too late to include them in the stencil sheet. I am not sure if any of the aircraft I covered on this sheet have the AAR slipway : they seem to be somewhat rare, and it is hard to confirm unless there is an in-flight photo from above. If any of them do, I will rectify it in the 1/144 sheet.

I will make sure it is there on the 1/144 sheet. Did you have a chance to see the sheet yet, Jeff?

Yes Sir. In our correspondence, you showed me the proofs. I'm sure everyone will be pleased.

The KC-135R sheet is available once again - I was able to put together fewer than 100 sets using overruns from the printer; and a reprint of the stencil sheets.

The stencilling sheet is now available as a separate item as well. Both are available from the product page linked below:

I now have only about 30 of the KC-135R sheet - these are going fast, and I am not likely to ever reprint it because of its relatively high printing cost. Get one while you still can.

The stencil sheets are still available in quantity.

This 1/72 KC-135R build was posted on HS a couple days ago. The builder did not mention which decals he used - but based on some of the stencilling and markings on the aircraft, I believe that he might have used the Caracal Models KC-135R set. If so, I wish he had mentioned it. At any rate, a great build regardless of which decals were used.
