KursadA Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 (edited) It's time to do a P-80 sheet. Looks like there is quite a lot of stuff that had been done before, but there are some huge omissions as well. What should go on this sheet? Korean War? Drones controllers? Skyblazers? Let me know what you think. Edited February 21, 2017 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted February 21, 2017 Author Share Posted February 21, 2017 5 minutes ago, MIG Mikkel said: Latin American ones. Brazil, Chile and Uruguay :) While these are no doubt huge crowd pleasers, I have to add that I primarily have USAF subjects in mind for the first sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 The famous "Rhapsody in Rivets" comes to mind, but I believe the previous decal iterations have been inaccurate - something about the colors of the notes being wrong and/or the size of the design being off. This and its squadron mates were P-80As, and different in detail from the more familiar F-80C used in Korea. Tread carefully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viking73 Posted February 21, 2017 Share Posted February 21, 2017 Drones, drone controllers, and Texas ANG (or other other ANG subjects) would be great Kursad! -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I think Korean War should be a primary P-80 focus. Perhaps a whole sheet of Korean War jets and a second with international and ANG jets. I like the 45th TRS, they flew both the RF-80 and straight F-80's, and they would sit well on a shelf together with an RF-84F in the polka dots markings that you did for the Rf-84f sheet. Would you size the decals for the hobbyboss or the monogram kit? corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChesshireCat Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I'd at least want to see one that Robin Olds flew. gary Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aircal62 Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 Everything that has been done is long gone and much of what has been done is not accurate in light of new info. I think you will actually end up doing 2 sheets as there are so many interesting subjects. Some of the USN training aircraft, early USAF, Air Guard and of course Korean service, that is a lot of territory. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 I vote for the early P-80As. Then again, I have a Fox3 conversion in 1/48 for that. Most people probably won't go that route. I would build about any subject from the 412th FG and its transcontinental flight. In 1/72 the Sword P-80 and F-80 kits are hard to find. Throw in the P-80Bs from the 94th FS, F-80 Alaska ANG, The Fighter School Acrojets. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted February 22, 2017 Share Posted February 22, 2017 And of course, any Shooting Star after 1947 would be an F-80, not P-80. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpitfireGuy Posted February 24, 2017 Share Posted February 24, 2017 A Korean War sheet would be awesome. 1/32 scale? Assuming 1/48 is primary, which kit will you size them for? HB kit has some glaring issues with the intakes but Mo organ though accurate is a real dog.... zach Quote Link to post Share on other sites
