Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 (edited) Here is an IN PROGRESS shot of the latest WW Decals 48-14 and WW Decals 48-15. All the artwork is done by Mason Doupnik with Ray Wilhite's help. WW Decals 48-11 has markings for 12, (Wait now 13) aircraft, including two MOH awardees, Crandall and Novosel. An aircraft preview sheet will be out soon. Some of you will notice that there are aircraft markings on the stencil sheet. They are the corrected markings for the Kitty Hawk marking options. While I didn't have anything to do with the decals except to select the aircraft and provide the markings. They didn't do as good a job as I thought they should. I still felt I needed to make them correct. So we included correct markings for the four aircraft on the kit sheet. We also included an additional aircraft for Bikini Blue aircraft where you just add the blue bikini over the red one and cut off the Bikini Red writing and add our decal. Our goal is to have them available by 30 August along with the new resin pieces. No pricing yet but probably $16 and $8. Stay tuned. Pay no attention to the Air Force numbers at the bottom. They are corrected decals for the F-4 Phantom sheet we put out, there was an error on it. Hey we are not flawless, but we do fix what we mess up. Edited July 23, 2017 by Floyd S.

Aaron I am quite sure Floyd is well aware of that as no one wins any military metals in service including the MOH, it's not America Idol after all but it does hit the ear better when saying winner vs awardee.

strikeeagle801 Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 I owe you an apology Floyd. I should not have jumped on you about that. I'm sorry. There really is no way to describe what these brave men do when the receive the MoH. Having met Crandall in person, and heard some of his story (and read the rest) I can tell you the only contest he "won" that day was the one for his survival. Regardless, I should have kept my virtual mouth shut, and I meant no offense. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've also met Crandall, Moore and Joe Galloway all great men. It is always a humbling experience when meeting such great men. It is hard to put it into words. Heroes comes to mind but it doesn't do them justice. I know they don't win anything. They earned it. Again it's hard to put into words. Floyd Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron Lynch Posted July 27, 2017 Share Posted July 27, 2017 Having attended the Congressional Medal of Honor Society meeting in Pueblo CO about ten years ago, I got the skinny on the preferred nomenclature. When you have been awarded the Medal of Honor, you are a "recipient". The citation describes the events for which they "received" the Medal of Honor. Recipients really don't like the term "won". Some don't much care for the term "earned" because most of them are quick to acknowledge that whatever they did to receive the Medal of Honor wasn't any braver or more heroic than other things that many of their comrades did in combat as well. They just happened to be recognized for it. Often recipients will state that while they received the Medal of Honor, it is a tribute to their comrades or unit and not just themselves. The humility of many of these men is as great as their heroism. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

robert61267 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 That sounds wonderful. Some civilian/government/agency users wouldn't be bad, either, if there is enough call for them. You can never have enough Hueys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Floyd S. Werner, Jr. Posted August 12, 2017 Author Share Posted August 12, 2017 The cover artwork done by Mason Doupnik. Decals should be available around 23 August or so. The price will be $16 for the WW Decals 48-14 Ride of the Valkyries- UH-1D/H in Vietnam and $10 for WW Decals 48-15 UH-1D/H Stencils. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
