Greg Long Posted December 24, 2017 Share Posted December 24, 2017 That would be great, there were two schemes in RAAF markings whilst in service - White over gloss sea blue when they were delivered then white over grey in the latter years of service Maybe a couple of both schemes Greg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbird01 Posted January 3, 2018 Share Posted January 3, 2018 Hi, Just thought I'd add that we will have another batch of the conversions in during the next week. Also trade orders will be going off to Red Roo and Aviation Megastore. Got to say the Caracal decals look stunning, must order some for myself. The AP-2H is selling well and the OP-2E will be out at some stage this year. Glenn @ Blackbird Models Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 8, 2018 Author Share Posted February 8, 2018 The Neptune sheets are gone, folks. Completely sold out. Sprue Bros, Hannants and other resellers will get their shipments soon and should have them available for a while longer. I badly underestimated the demand for these sheets. I thought few people would be interested in the P2V5 options since these required a conversion kit. Clearly I was wrong - a total of 1000 sheets were gone in about two months. I will probably reprint these sometime before the end of the year. Thanks once again a lot for your interest in these sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Darn, how did I miss this one! I will try to order from Sprue Bros, but they do not have it listed yet. I was waiting for a few more sheets to be released in order to place a larger order, but I see I missed the boat on CD72057. Next time I won't wait so long. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I got mine from Scott's Model Workshop last week. He still lists both: http://stores.ebay.com/SCOTTS-MODEL-WORKSHOP/_i.html?_nkw=1%2F72+Caracal+Neptune&submit=Search&LH_TitleDesc=1&_sop=10&_sid=3361502&_sc=1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 21, 2018 Author Share Posted February 21, 2018 I ran out of sheets that I can sell directly, but the sheets that were ordered by Sprue Brothers are still waiting to be shipped this week. They should have these decals available sometime next week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbird01 Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 We too have been stunned by how fast our Neptune conversion has sold too. It came out in late October 2017 and we have sold over 200 already. We have another batch on order from CMR with some for ourselves and some for Aviation Megastore who sold their order in one afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I love VC-1 aircraft and have a Skyhawk also earmarked for that squadron. I will probably still get it as Kursad has come up with some really terrific schemes so I might have to get a few more kits too. Darn it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blackbird01 Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 We should have another 20 in stock tomorrow, Monday, as well as another 20 on the way to Aviation Megastore too this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kursad, Any thoughts on possible foreign subjects for the third P2V Neptune sheet? I would love to see Canadian, Australian, Portuguese, and Brazilian. Any water bombers in the mix? K/r.
