Mark S. Posted March 27, 2017 Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Gentlemen, Time for the next release from Wolfpak Decals. The first sheet 72-104, Death with Finesse has the following: F-4B from VF-102 during the first Enterprise cruise in 1962. A F-16CM from the 180th FW, Ohio ANG last fall with the new Have Glass V paint scheme. The F-35A also from last year is the commanders jet of the 62nd FS. Two F-22A’s are up next. One is the commander’s jet from the 95th FS and the other has mission marks and is from the same unit. Lastly, from operations a few years ago over Libya is an EA-18G from VAQ-132. This jet has tails in a desert camouflage. Sheet 72-105, Splintered. This is as close as I’ve come to date with a single subject sheet. All aircraft on this sheet have a splintered camouflage pattern. Here’s what is on the sheet. First off there are two Swedish Air Force jets; a Draken which was used to develop the pattern for the Viggen and a Gripen in a special retirement scheme. Next are options for two F-15A’s with the same pattern but two different paint schemes and a F-15B also in a splintered scheme. There are decals to do one F-15A and one F-15B. During 1986 a F-16B was painted in a splintered scheme complete with false canopy and shadows depicting a tail on the underside of the jet along with topside markings on the belly. The same was applied to the two seat F-16XL which is next on the sheet. The F-4’s are from two squadrons of the 58th TFTW at Luke. The last subject is a F-5E from the 65th Aggressors at Nellis AFB. Of those aircraft that have false canopies decals have been provided for all but one. That one is an F-4 in which the canopy extended into the sparrow missile wells which would make a good looking decal fit impossible. Sheets should be in stock in a week or two. Mark S.

Paul Boyer Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Looks great, Mark. Please PLEASE do NOT take guidance from the old Microscale decal (or the CAM copy) for the VF-102 Diamondbacks markings. They were quite oversized! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Paul, Thanks. I work from photos and don't use other decal manufacturers' artwork for anything. Most manufacturers missed the wing tip markings, the number on the nose gear door and the data block on this subject as well which I have included. In sizing decals I look at the relationship between the artwork and known landmarks (typically but not exclusively panel lines) on the aircraft. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 Mark is there an error in the title? Since I have tried to find these sheets on your site I'm guessing it should read 2017!? Great markings gotta get both!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark S. Posted March 29, 2017 Author Share Posted March 29, 2017 Gentlemen, Thanks for catching the error the date should have been March 2017 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f14tomcat Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Love your work Mark. Could you put page numbers on your instruction sheets? Most of the time no numbers isn't a problem, but (you knew that was coming). On some sheets it's hard to tell if the subjects are close together. Thanks wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted March 30, 2017 Author Share Posted March 30, 2017 Wayne, I'll see in the future but I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm not all that good with word. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark Mark, Depending on which version of Word you are using (I have 2010) go to the 'Insert' ribbon and you will see 'Page Number' about half way across the ribbon. Click it and select where you want to put it. Pretty easy! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sarathi S. Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Excellent, I've been looking for decals for the camo tailed Growler for a while now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Mark, could you give us a time frame for the release of these 2 sets? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted March 31, 2017 Author Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Decals are in. Website is updated and the buttons are hot! Edited March 31, 2017 by Mark S. added info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted April 2, 2017 Share Posted April 2, 2017 Order sent for "Splintered" and two more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted April 2, 2017 Author Share Posted April 2, 2017 (edited) Gents: Want to give you a heads-up. Fantasy made a mistake on the F-4B decals making the ejection seat markings a red triangle in lieu of the older white with red lettering and border. They have a correction being printed ASAP and I’ll send off the correction to those purchasing the sheets in the manner I normally do. The perfect storm of Oops! I have another World War II 1/72 release due out in April and a surprise release for the 1/48 crowd in May. Don't tell them. Mark Edited April 3, 2017 by Mark S. added WWII info Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antoine Posted April 5, 2017 Share Posted April 5, 2017 Hi Mark, I'm wondering if you'd receive my PM? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mark S. Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Gents, The corrections for the ejection seat triangles are in for sheet 72-104 and will ship with the sheet now. For those of you who have already purchased the sheet I will ship them out in your next order unless you contact me and request that they go out sooner.
