Vaildog Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 With the new T-33 from GWH and the Trumpeter F-106 could someone please do a a 1/48 sheet that would make building all the types the 318th FIS flew over the years possible? That compass design looks great on the tail of anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 I am pretty sure someone has already done a 1/48 T-33 318 Sqn sheet. I believe it was Aeromaster and probably still available. Hmm, I think I may even have it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kevan Vogler Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Bare Metal did a sheet under their "Experts Choice" banner. It was sheet 48-60 in their catalog: My linkhttp://modelingmadness.com/others/decals/williamsec4860.htm As it came out in 2002, you might have some trouble finding it.

KursadA Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Have some patience, folks - I have this strange feeling that there will be some news on these soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 If there is any part of any existing decal that is designed as a "critical fit" to a certain part of the airplane (like a rudder), it won't fit the GWH kit. Every existing kit is wildly inaccurate. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
chriss7606 Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Not to be a downer, but the Experts Choice/ Bare Metal decals were some of the worst I've ever used. They adhered poorly, were very brittle, and were translucent. If possible, I'd take Kursad's advice and wait... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Considering the most recently printed ones are close to 25 years old, that's not surprising. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mingwin Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Have some patience, folks - I have this strange feeling that there will be some news on these soon. hope you'll have some interest in covering early 318th FIS F-106 ! ...as it never have been done before in 1/48. any 318th FIS subject will be welcome! T-33, F-106, F-15... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Look for 318th--and other air defence squadrons--Eagles from Speed Hunter in the not-too-distant future. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F4DPhantomII Posted December 11, 2015 Share Posted December 11, 2015 Academy released a version of the HobbyCraft T-33 with 318 FIS markings. I am looking forward to the GWH T-33 kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
