KursadA Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 CD72065 will be a scaled-down version of the U-2A/C decals I released in the last batch. Coming in February, designed to fit the Academy/Airfix U-2 kits. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 25, 2017 Author Share Posted January 25, 2017 This sheet has all of the options that the 48th scale one has - in addition, there are single-piece walkway decals to make application a bit easier in the smaller scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Boyer Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 (edited) OK, so one half to one side, the other to the other side. Edited January 26, 2017 by Paul Boyer mispoke Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's clearly two different decals on the 1/48 sheet. The layout on the 1/72 is a bit different. Can't wait to see what you do with this Paul! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 It is two separate decals on the 1/72 sheet as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 I have never seen the Academy kit and haven't seen the Airfix one in years. Now I have to hunt one down. For one, I have a much simplier scheme in mind: I'm just not sure what version these aircraft are. The first two I took in 1972 and the second two I took in 1974.

Paul Boyer Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 ikar, your photos show the much different, enlarged U-2R (also designated TR-1 for a while) which could not be made from the Academy/Airfix kits. Those kits are of the earlier U-2A/B/C type. There were some plainly marked early versions, too. Were your photos from U-Tapao? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ikar Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 The first two were. We were on a bus heading for the freedom bird when the driver slammed on the brakes as they went by. I was standing in the front of the isle and got the shots. The other two I took on my second tour at Korat. It was parked alongside a reventment at the end of the C-130 area. Had a feeling it might have come from U-Tapao and my have had a maintenance problem but never found out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RotorheadTX Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Those decals cannot be released soon enough!! Real aircraft, or what-it fodder, they are GOLD!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 24, 2017 Author Share Posted March 24, 2017 This has been the fastest-selling 1/72 sheet I have ever done - thanks for your interest, everyone! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 30, 2017 Author Share Posted May 30, 2017 #1 on the Hannants top-selling items list today! Both 1/48 and 1/72 U-2 sheets have done very well, and I am looking forward to seeing your built-up U-2s. I will follow up with a U-2S/TR-1 sheet in the next few months.

KursadA Posted February 6, 2022 Author Share Posted February 6, 2022 Now that the new Hobby Boss 1/72 U-2 kit is released, I reprinted this sheet (CD72065). It should be available either in March or April. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I never managed to get hold of one of these sheets, so good news for the half-dozen Airfix and Seminar kits which have sat at varying stages of assembly and painting for longer than I care to remember - means I might eventually get around to completing them!
