AndrewPerren Posted June 15, 2015 Share Posted June 15, 2015 I want this. A LOT! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 23, 2015 Author Share Posted June 23, 2015 Folks, I am struggling to fit all of the instructions on a 16-page booklet, which is what I budgeted for this decal sheet. I might have to provide the instructions for some of the more uncommon options in digital format; much like what I had to do with the international Alpha Jet sheet (CD48044). I will keep trying and keep you posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will keep trying and keep you posted. Kursad in my case, I think a digital download of the instructions is more than acceptable. I see other companies have been doing so and to be honest I think it is great. Must be the way of the world now. Maybe you should consider doing the whole instructions as a download so you can use those funds for more decals :) You will still have to print the cover sheet though.

AndrewPerren Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I think a download would be quite ok. That way you only need to print off what is relevant to your build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
a4s4eva Posted June 27, 2015 Share Posted June 27, 2015 I'm surprised more companies don't go the digital option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 This sheet, along with the others that will make up the next batch, is on its way to me. I should have it in my hands within a couple of days. Needless to say, it looks like this batch did not make it in time for June; but I am working hard on enabling preorders on July 10-12 at the latest. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Petarvu Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Watching your ongoing communication in this thread and amount of sheets Caracal has in development/ release monthly, I can only thank you for your dedication as a modeler. I will probably start few mirages as soon as I get my hands on this sheet. Petar Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you will find them worth the wait - the third part of the set (serials) should be here pretty soon, and I hope to be able to start shipping before mid-July.

skyhawk174 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Wow Kursad, I can't believe how fine that artwork is on the phoenix on the crest. Amazing work which just gets better and better all the time. Looking forward to this sheet and yet again I have to ditch a Superscale sheet with Aussie markings as this one is waaaaay better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewPerren Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 They are looking fantastic KursadA. I wish I was a bit quicker when you had these in development stage. I have a Kinetic kit WIP and I want to do the training AIM-9B's very commonly seen with the word INERT in white. I should have asked you sooner. :bandhead2:/> I was going to use kit decals but I am so tempted to wait now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 4, 2015 Author Share Posted July 4, 2015 I actually intended to do the AIM-9 and Matra Magic markings as well - I guess it just slipped my mind during the design work. Oh, well. I will add them if I ever scale this down to 1/72, depending on how this sheet is received. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 9, 2015 Author Share Posted July 9, 2015 The serial numbers sheet is also here, so the set is complete. I will send the e-mail notification this weekend and should be able to start shipping these in a week or so. This sheet provides RAAF Mirage III serial numbers in four different styles: the very early black serials, and later style serials in black, white or dark gray. With the help of the stencil sheet and these serials, you will be able to model numerous RAAF Mirages belonging to the units covered by the set. I will provide instructions for about 10 on the printed instruction sheet, a few more on the Web site. But with the help of excellent references like Motty's book, many more should be possible.

KursadA Posted July 12, 2015 Author Share Posted July 12, 2015 I just enabled preorders for this set. I strongly suggest preordering now, as the orders from resellers were much better than I anticipated and I might sell put faster than I calculated. The stencils/serials sheets are available separately - I have only 100 of these stencil/serial sets. CD48067 - Mirage III over Australia Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 13, 2015 Author Share Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) The instructions and profiles list only 20 options, but it should be possible to build many of the exotic test schemes in Motty's book with the help of these decals. These are selling very briskly, and I think there is a real possibility I might sell out in a few weeks much like the KC-135R last month.

KursadA Posted July 21, 2015 Author Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) The RAAF Mirage sheet was successful beyond belief, so I will be scaling it down to 1/72 scale as well : again printed by Cartograf. Stay tuned for a product number assignment & announcement in a month or so. Edited July 21, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Sold out. All gone, before anyone has even received his preorder. Every preorder/order is now in the mail, and those who preordered should be getting their sheets by now. Hawkeye in Australia will get their stock within a week or so. Everyone else will have to wait until Hannants and Sprue Bros. get their stock in mid to late August - sorry. Thank you for the overwhelming interest in this sheet. Expect to see more sheets with kangaroo roundels from Caracal in the near future! Edited July 26, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndrewPerren Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Wow congratulations on the success. Can't wait to get mine. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
