KursadA Posted April 22, 2016 Author Share Posted April 22, 2016 Yes!!! This is great. If this sells well, would you consider doing ADC and ANG F-104s???? Corey in Colorado And ADC/ANG F-104 sheet is definitely a possibility for later in the year. I will be scaling down the Vietnam sheet to 1/72 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 That sheet looks great Kursad. I see a couple of famous ones on there like the Snoopy one. Now I have to pick up a C model. Looking forward to your profiles. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 The '104 really captured my imagination as a kid (and the Hawk kit was one of my first models) - it just looked so damn awesome. And it still does :) Thanks Kursad - more stuff to buy... Hitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 All of this month's new releases are here, including the F-104C sheet. I should be able to enable preorders next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Well, doggone it, I see a Texas flag, which means I have to acquire this sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 23, 2016 Author Share Posted May 23, 2016 I will be enabling preorders for this sheet tonight; along with the RF-84F sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
GEH737 Posted May 24, 2016 Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Kursad - I don't know if you'd have the option to add these to another sheet. But you're TAC emblem / lightning bolt are some of the nicest I've seen. Those were common in the 60's on gray or silver USAF jets (F-4, F-100, F-104, F-105), and all look to be the same size. It'd be great to have more of those for that colorful era. With Cartograf being so nicely printed, it'd be really nice to have a large selection of data, warnings, TAC, SAC, MAC, ATC badges - stuff that's all too often missing on decals sheets for subjects you (or others) haven't covered. Just a thought. Hitch Edited May 24, 2016 by GEH737 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 24, 2016 Author Share Posted May 24, 2016 (edited) Available for preorder now. Note that the profiles below do not show all 10 options - many of them have the nose art on the starboard side of the aircraft.

Hi Hitch, I think such a sheet would be a good idea - I have drawn most of the common command markings through the years, and a general-purpose sheet like this would be helpful to many. There is the problem of covering the entire range of common sizes, etc. For a long time I have been planning to create a second, low-cost line of general purpose markings (serials, unit badges, national insignia etc.) under the Altimeter Decals brand; but just did not have the time to launch it. Maybe this would be a good fit for the Altimeter line when I finally get around to launching it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted May 25, 2016 Share Posted May 25, 2016 Kursad, if I may, a couple more items that would come in handy for many modelers: standard tail-hook striping! Just a whole sheet of black stripes on white at the proper interval for the different scales. I think, but am not sure, that the width of the stripes was uniform on all U.S. Navy tail hooks in the jet era. The modeler only would have to cut out a section and apply to the kit tail hook! And, while we're at it, how about red and white stripe decals for USAF instrument/pitot booms like those found on many F-102s, F-104s, and F-106s? There was a lot of variation on these though, some alternate rings, some spirals, some narrow, some wide - photos reveal all. I personally find painting the stripes on tail hooks and instrument booms a real pain in the tukus and am always thankful when decal stripes are included in kits.

Apologies to Kursad/Caracal for posting this on his forum, but to save potential waste in time/money I wanted to mention that I'm doing a small stand-alone sheet for just the tailhook striping in 3 scales, just the hooks though, not the USAF booms/probes striping that Paul also brought up.

KursadA Posted May 27, 2016 Author Share Posted May 27, 2016 Hi Paul, It sounds like a good idea, and I will add landing hook stripes and instrumentation/pitot boom markings on a sheet in the low cost general markings line I am planning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 3, 2016 Author Share Posted June 3, 2016 I started shipping these today - there was a lot of interest in this sheet and one third of the print run is already gone. I can not wait to see the first builds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
niki4703 Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 Great! Hope the way it goes will be incentive enough for you to scale it down to 72nd (the possibility of which you mentioned). Cheers, Niki Quote Link to post Share on other sites
