texasraider Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 Just ordered mine!!!! Hope some C-130s and C-141 sheets for the new Roden kit will be in future!!!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 Would also like to see some colorful KC-135A's and E's in the silver and grey of the 60's through 80's. I just hope these do well so we can realize more in this scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 6, 2016 Author Share Posted March 6, 2016 So far, things have been off to a good start - but the preorders at this point mostly come from friends/loyal customers & folks who have been waiting for the sheet for a while. The real test for this sheet will start when it hits the retailers' shelves. But I feel good enough that I started drawing base profiles for the C-141 series. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 That's great new Kursad. I dropped a post over at Hyperscale letting folks there know about this sheet. Really wanting you to do more in this scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ARK HERKY LOAD Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 So far, things have been off to a good start - but the preorders at this point mostly come from friends/loyal customers & folks who have been waiting for the sheet for a while. The real test for this sheet will start when it hits the retailers' shelves. But I feel good enough that I started drawing base profiles for the C-141 series. I put my order in today for the Tankers. Please consider when you do your C-141B to add in the Memphis guys maybe even the Memphis Belle that they carried as nose art, but most of their planes had nose art before they lost them. And of course would like to see a Euro one StarLizard. Thanks so much for doing the 1/144 scale. Also if you continue in the 1/144 scale I can get you photos of Arkansas Air Guard KC-135A and E models and the C-130H model we fly now. We have added nose art and tail art and Razorback hogs to the nose of our planes. Thanks so much. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Just received this sheet or should I say set of decals in the mail today. Holy Schnikes is this thing awesome! Can't wait to paint up my KC-R and put a set of these down on it. Now I just need to figure out which ones to use. Probably Wisconsin since I have family there. Way to go Kursad! These things were so worth the wait. :thumbsup:/> Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted March 29, 2016 Share Posted March 29, 2016 Got mine today (along with the F-106 and B-58 sheets) - really nice work (again). Apparently, collecting stickers is just as habit forming as the kits themselves :) Hitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 3, 2016 Author Share Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) I have around 50 sheets remaining - time to declare this experiment a success. I have several new 1/144 sheets in the works for you, starting with the general purpose C-135 markings and B-1B sets. Edited April 3, 2016 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim Barr Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I hope at least one of those sheets will be for legacy KC-135As (5th Bomb Wing Minot ND) Regards Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 5, 2016 Author Share Posted April 5, 2016 You can help by sending me any KC-135A references you have - as I mentioned in another thread, photos for details like ruddervator markings are hard to come by. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Barr Posted April 5, 2016 Share Posted April 5, 2016 I will dig out what I have which was from 1972 -76, but if I remember correctly during that time frame SAC was not into any tail markings except for the aircraft number unless it was for special event and then only for the duration of the event. So we had the "Milky Way" fuselage band with the SAC emblem on the left side and the bomb wing emblem on the right, along with the USAF wing and US Air Force fuselage markings etc. Regards Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 I got some excellent reference photos from a few of you, but I need more - so please give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses of KC-135A/E photos yearning to be put on a decal sheet. I an hoping to wrap up the design this month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 You want these forwarded to you via PM or posted here? Are we looking at just KC's or will RC's and EC's work too? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 Got some Utah ANG stuff I can send. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 18, 2016 Author Share Posted April 18, 2016 You can send them to . RCs and ECs would be helpful too - I will include some in case I can not make a full sheet of KC-135A/E markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted April 20, 2016 Share Posted April 20, 2016 Kursad, did you get my message? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 20, 2016 Author Share Posted April 20, 2016 Kursad, did you get my message? I replied to it. For anyone who wants to send me physical photos or references, the mailing address is listed on my Web site (caracalmodels.com) under "contact". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 2, 2016 Author Share Posted May 2, 2016 The 1/144 scale KC-135R sheet (CD144001) is sold out. Thanks, everyone! If you were not able to buy one directly from me, the resellers (Hannants, Sprue Bros and others) will receive their shipments soon. I will try to bring this sheet back as a limited re-release within a few months. Meanwhile, get one from the resellers while you still can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 Glad I ordered two when they were released. Can't wait to see the follow-on sheet for the KC-135A and E. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 A from 60's-70's and R from early nineties would be great. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted September 12, 2023 Author Share Posted September 12, 2023 Now that the Roden KC-135R is released, it is time to reprint this best-selling sheet. CD144001 will be available once again in the November/December timeframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Great news Kursad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted September 14, 2023 Share Posted September 14, 2023 Really a nice sheet, I may order another copy when it’s available again. Is it fair to say then, that a 1/144 sheet for Shamu/ADC gray -135s is still some months away? Thanks Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
