Viasistina Posted October 17, 2016 Share Posted October 17, 2016 (edited) First of all, thanks for all the great work in 1/72 scale. I've recently had some interest in the Vermont Air Guard, especially when they flew as an DSES unit. Apparently in their last years with the B-57 they flew their birds in a vast array of schemes to recognize its' years of service. They had birds in SEA camo, overall black with red markings, black with white markings, ADC gray with black trim and ADC gray with red trim, all of which carried the legend "Green Mountain Boys" on their tanks. Doing a sheet on just one unit is a stretch, but those schemes are so diverse perhaps in can be considered. Thanks again for all those great 1/72 scale sheets.

Corey Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 I too would love some B-57 decals, especially those Vermont EB-57s. I think there would be room for both 1/48 and 1/72! corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted October 18, 2016 Share Posted October 18, 2016 While I don't have anything B-57 related in the works right now, I really like the type and I am sure I will eventually get around do doing some decals for the type. It is one of the subjects in my mind for the next year. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I start now I will probably be finished by the time you release your decals maybe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f5guy Posted October 20, 2016 Share Posted October 20, 2016 I'd definitely be interested in this one in 1/72nd scale too. I have an Italeri kit that I've wanted to convert into a Vermont EB-57 for years. The only thing that has stopped me is no decals! Kursad, you're the king of doing decals for kits that are not the latest and greatest, and I believe that this would be right up your alley, and worth considering ;0) Fred K.

Viasistina Posted October 21, 2016 Author Share Posted October 21, 2016 It would be nice if some Resin company did a set with all of the required antennas and modified intakes . Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike West from Lone Star Models has an EB-57 conversion set in 1:48 scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 I think Cobra Models has an 1/72 EB-57E set, or maybe just a B-57E target tug. I can't remember. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 (edited) Oh, you KNOW I'm in for this. I've been spending all year building the history of the Vermont ANG in 1/72, and this is one of the ones left on my list, along with their P-51D's, F-89D's and F-16C's. Had planned on doing the EB-57 markings with Vermont F-102 decals, but I'll take ready-made any time!! So yes, PLEASE on this one. :) I'm there!!!!

Viasistina Posted October 31, 2016 Author Share Posted October 31, 2016 Lots of work to do an EB-57 in 1/72. Wouldn't it be great if Lone Star or some other company did the conversion in 1/72 to go along with the possible decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 Yeah, I checked the Cobra website and the only 1/72 -57 mention is a general detail set. Nice, but still.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lumpulus Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Another vote for Vermont in 1/48! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Fine, fine...you made me do it. I finished the base drawings yesterday. Keep in mind that it is behind the Neptune, C-119 and B-66 sheets in the line though. You will see it before mid 2017. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Hurray!!! And that would be in both 1/48 and 1/72???? :) corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Where can I pre-order a sheet in 1/72? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 I will try and do it in both scales - it is a bit too early for preordering anything. The Neptune and B-66 sheets are close to being finished, but a (yet unannounced) difficult project is taking up most of my design time these days. I will start the B-57's soon after I am done with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lumpulus Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Great to hear! Looking forward to it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted November 25, 2016 Share Posted November 25, 2016 well, I'm only one guy, one customer, but you can guarantee an order from me; I just got my B-57 a couple weeks ago and had started researching the mods I'd need to do a VT ANG bird. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
