KursadA Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 CD48120 will be a 1/48 scale sheet dedicated to the "City of Jacksonville", the 1976 Florida ANG bicentennial scheme worn on one of their F-106 Delta Darts. After a long research and design process, I sent it to be printed a few days ago; and I am ready to announce it now. An easy project this was not - getting many lost details of this scheme right involved going through lots of photos, moldy old magazines, and a visit to the Florida public library system to track down an obscure pamphlet. It will be part of my May batch of releases. Designed to fit both the Monogram and Trumpeter kits (with some minor modifications). What you're seeing is the multi-color main page with smaller markings, star patterns for the tail and drop tanks. There is a second, all-white page (not shown) with stars to cover the front fuselage and spine. I will release a 1/72 version (CD72067) at the same time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viper50 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 HALLELUJAH!!!!! Finally, Thanks for doing these. Probably one of the most wanted and needed decals for the SIX. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Beautiful! If I'm not mistaken, I think Cartograf did this for one of the limited-run Hasegawa issues in 1/72 scale. They had those small Bicentennial circle markings for sure. But I'm buyin' the 1/72 one when it comes, Kursad! Thank you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jabba29 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 I will definitely get one of the 1/72nd sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hi Paul - I think the Hasegawa boxing is still sought after, but there are several small errors on the sheet and I think the older Scale Master sheet is more accurate in some respects. I think I did a good job overall and I hope the 1/72 sheet will also do well. I sized mine for the Meng kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 Available for preorder now. If you are ordering from outside the US and plan to order the new C-130H sheets; please wait until I announce them later tonight in the mailing list. Otherwise, operators are standing by: CD48120 - 1/48 F-106A "City of Jacksonville" (*): You are a member of the mailing list - aren't you??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Space Tiger Hobbes Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Done. It only took 20 years for someone to do these markings. One to build, one to collect, and one to frame. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
titan8251 Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Boom done. Can't wait to see it. Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kurt H. Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mine is on the way too Thanks for making this sheet, it is my favorite Bicentennial bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 13, 2017 Author Share Posted June 13, 2017 The sheet came out really nice - including a crisp representation of the "mystery badge", the details of which apparently eluded some US decal makers for 20+ years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Space Tiger Hobbes Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 At last it's arrived! ... THEY have arrived. Just super printing and clarity! A couple of nits: the ink on the directions smeared on every page, making a line or two on "Before you Begin" in the directions unreadable. Would it be possible to put the directions on your reference page? Also Ref.photo 4 isn't actually available at the links provided, but I found what's probably it by googling. Overall, a fabulous sheet. Can't believe it's here at last. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Please hurry witn the B-45 sheet so I can purchase both in one transaction. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Overall, a fabulous sheet. Can't believe it's here at last. Please send me an e-mail and I will send you the instruction sheet. The "before you begin" section basically only has some blurb about the various star sizes used in the design and how you can use the spare stars provided. You should not need to use the spare stars unless you want to correct a misplaced star or two (which I am sure there are a few, in a design this complicated and poorly documented).

RandallpCox Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 Glad to see these available. I did my Monogram kit 25 years ago the old fashion way, and it's getting long in the tooth. I'm picking a set up at lunch from a friend, and am glad to see you've done this set. Long time coming in 1/48 scale. Thanks,. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
