Mark S. Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 Gents, Here are the next two sheets from Wolfpak Decals. They will retail for $17.50 and should be in stock by June 20, 2017. Sheet 72-108, Wild Things. To start we have two options of a Wisconsin AN, 115th FW F-16C, FW, the wing commander’s jet with a badger on the tail and the Ops Grp commander’s aircraft. Something different but to complement the future Airfix kit two options for a FGR.2 from 1435 Flt. at Mount Pleasant in the Falklands. The jets carry the same names as their WWII predecessors that defended Malta. A F-35C from the latest Navy squadron to fly the jet, VFA-125, the West coast RAG. From the fifties, a F-94C of the 60th FIS. This aircraft is on display at the National Museum of the USAF. A C-130E, Rivet Kit, covert reconnaissance aircraft also known as a “Berlin for Lunch Bunch” bird. Finally, an A-6A from VA-35. This aircraft has a diamond back snake (probably referring to VA-86 from the same air wing) clutched in the mouth of their traditional black panther. Sheet 72-109, Blood Sweat and Valor. A FG.1 from 43 Sqn starts this sheet. Once again to complement the new Airfix kit. The second subject is a FGR.4 that was at the Langley AFB air show last year. From Cannon AFB options for two EF-111A’s. The commander’s jets of the 429th ECS and the 27th OG. A much-requested jet from an earlier release and to complement the re-issue of the Italeri kit a shark mouth EB-66E of the 42nd TEWS. To complete this release the commanders aircraft of the 166th ARS of the Ohio ANG. They once again have placed the stylized chevron/alar on the fuselage sides of the aircraft along with new tail art. Go Buckeyes! Mark S. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Matt Foley Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Just an FYI for those asking (and for those who don't) the WI ANG Madison flies Block 30 F-16C. So if you want to do a Badger Bird (I mean who wouldn't, right?) use a block 30 kit. Mark, it would be pretty sweet for you to do these in 1/48th scale too. Go Badgers! Edited June 9, 2017 by Mr Matt Foley Request for 1/48 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 (edited) Now if only tamiya would come out with a block 30 kit for those WI ANG decals. I would be in bliss then. Been waiting a long time for decals for that unit! Edited June 10, 2017 by achterkirch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 I also love the Wisconsin jets! Seeing as though I am from the Green Bay Area. Would be awesome if the 115 would do a Packer themed jet. GO PACK GO! And I will give a shout out to the Badgers, love the Badgers. Also love the Brew crew! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to see all the ANG units in states with NFL teams do a team themed jet. Broncos, Raiders and Patriots would be cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I want to do a Polish Block 52+ and need the NSI Inlet. I can then build a block 30 or block 40 (with extra parts) with the other. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have the two bobs decals but with these 1/72 decals I would have to use the revell kit as tamiya only came out with the block 50 so far in that scale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Benjamin Blue Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 (edited) Since the Wisconsin jets are Block 30H models with GE engines, big mouth inlets, 4 chaff/flare dispensers, AIFF "bird slicer" antennas, and the landing light mounted on the nose gear door, aren't the only major hurdles the landing gear doors and the fuselage stiffeners, both of which are available in aftermarket or by swapping parts with other kits? Past that, there's a few differences in vents and panel lines and the light weight landing gear, and is that gear difference even noticeable in 1/72 scale?

Murph Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Mark, Glad to see the Brit Phantoms, especially with the new Airfix kits coming out this year. Regards, Murph Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jefropas Posted June 13, 2017 Share Posted June 13, 2017 Pretty easy to make a 30 from a 50, and Bubba is correct... Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otherwise I think I would be ok if I can find some non bulged gear doors which I might have I'll have to look. Do you know what panel lines are different? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Tamiya kit has a fuselage insert on the port side of the upper aft fuselage. I assume that's because of panel line differences; otherwise, I can't think of any reason for it.

(j/k) The panel insert on the Tamiya kit is on the stbd side. Tamiya did the same thing on their 48th kit, and Kinetic duly copied the 'feature'. There are panel line differences between Blocks (30/40/50) but that panel isn't one of them. I also have no idea why they did that on the kit(s). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
