Glynn Jacobs Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Hi All, Does ANYBODY make the lo-viz decals for F-15Cs from the 44th Fighter Squadron in 72nd scale? Sure could use some but it seems the Far East Air Force is just not loved in the decal world! (In 72nd scale, anyway!) That being said, we could use some 8th AF F-16C "Wolfpack" decals in 72nd scale too! I'm just say'in! WARDOG Edited January 24, 2017 by Glynn Jacobs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gmat Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 (edited) Try this; Afterburner Decals 1/48 F-15C Eagle Wing Kings Decal They are for the 18th Wing Commander's bird with smaller squadron patches. Hasegawa released !/72 F-15C Eagle 'Okinawa ZZ' 00036, but in 1999. My decals have yellowed a little and it's for the 12th TFS with yellow fin stripe. Google 18th Wing and you can see at least one with the 44th TFS insignia in a solid black color, not the outline version in the kit. Hope that this is useful. Grant Plenty of 8th TFW F-16 kits by Hasegawa and Fujimi. Maybe not recent versions. Edited January 24, 2017 by gmat added info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milo Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm with you, Glynn. I'd like to see some modern Kadena decals. I think I'll send an email to Mark at Wolfpak. Those markings are something they would do well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I've done the current 44th flagship double MiG-killer in 48th and 32nd. I'd like to scale them down to 72nd at some point but not sure when. Jake http://www.reidairpublishing.com/product-p/shg48003.htm If you're into kadena, I've also written a book on this awesome base. http://www.reidairpublishing.com/product-p/rap012.htm Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Glynn Jacobs Posted January 30, 2017 Author Share Posted January 30, 2017 Thanks All, I'm really after the lo-viz, light gray decals in 72nd scale. These seem to be the current scheme for the Kadena birds but I don't seem to be able to find them as they may not have been made yet. I'll keep searching!

Glynn Jacobs Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks Mark, that sounds GREAT! I'll start searching now! Appreciate it, WARDOG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Draggie748 Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Try the Academy F-15C Oregon ANG boxing in 1/72 scale, I think they have either 67th or 44th FS lo-vis markings. I gave mine away. HTH Phil Hastie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milo Posted February 8, 2017 Share Posted February 8, 2017 Um yeaahh.... Have you ever used Academy's in-house decals? Ugh. Don't bother. Something printed by Cartograf, Fantasy Printshop or Microscale would be so much better! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Milo Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Hi Phil! Please don't think I'm trying to argue or be combative but I'm sorry, they don't. Not in the 173rd FW kit: Academy's site Both Academy's site and achterkirch's link show's pictures of the kit's contents. No where on the box or decal sheet themselves is there a mention of Cartograf. Also, check out the silvering on those decals on Academy's site! Not a ringing endorsement if you ask me! However, for the special edition 144th FW kit, they do: Special Edition Cartograf decals So, it would really be nice if aftermarket decals for contemporary Kadena Eagles came out in 1/72. Jake? Mark? Anyone? Please?! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
