Kursad,  

How about an FAA sheet with multiple subjects?  Hmm, probably 1/144 scale as most are transports.  But the good news is that most are available as kits.  Here is a DC-7:

True, Brother Ray. But possibly including one on a future announced KC-135 or Convairliner sheet would be an interesting subject.  Kursad said he might do airliner decals, so just food for thought.  Kursad does like to surprise us.  R/ Dutch

Can I suggest some early Panavia Tornado decals especially for the Italian Air Force in the grey / green / aluminium scheme . These haven't been well covered. Some of the prototype schemes are quite interesting too,

+1 on that! I picked up a copy of the old Hasegawa kit and the decals are yellowed beyond belief (and I don't mean the ivory the whites started out as). Some older Luftwaffe and  Marineflieger  markings would be appreciated as well.

Kursad,

I don't have anything new to add to the rapidly increasing pile of requests on your desk.  I am just patiently waiting for previously discussed and promised sheets from your other threads:

 

 

Kursad has been very very good to me.  He has even surprised me with a few unexpected releases.  While I like NASA and many of these other suggestions of late, here's my big 4 for future release:

 

1/144 P-3 Orions - USN (VP, VQ, VW, NRL, VX, VXN), NOAA, USC&BP and foreign: Brazil, Chile, Germany, Greece, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Portugal, Spain, 

1/144 & 1/72 USMC KC-130T-30, VMGR-452 NY 

1/72 R4Q-2 / C-119F for USMC Reserve VMGR hi-viz day-glo orange

✔️1/48 EF-111A 390th ECS, 366th Wg

There is a lifetime's worth of new subject suggestions here, folks - most of them great. I will definitely consider doing a "The Early Years" sheet for the Tornado.. I also like the EE Lightning, but I was under the impression that almost every marking under the sun was covered by Xtrascale already?? If not, I am willing to put it on the to-do list.

after a brief search it turns out Xtradecal does quite a few Lightning sheets. also aeromaster did a bunch that are no longer available. the worst part is that aeromaster did sheets for the 2 schemes I posted but they are long out of stock everywhere.

When you are buried under suggestions for new decals and have a full plate of projects, here is another suggestion for a new decal.  With the Eduard P-51 along with the Airfix and Mens kits another post War decal would be popular.  Might I suggest aircraft like the 57th when they were in Iceland (arctic red everywhere), Dave Scotts P-51 from a Nellis weapons meet with the gold and black checkers, some of the wild Latin American birds, maybe bring back the KY ANG aircraft from an earlier sheet, and the Army's Chyanne chase aircraft.   The modified canopy for the TF is available and done the tall "H" fin tip is easy for any of the Calivier P-51's seen in Latin America.  Lots of hot stuff out there

The Army operated D's in the chase role, too.  Same color scheme.

OK, this sounds intriguing. My references for the P-51 in this period are a bit thin on the ground. Can you post any photos so we could choose a good set of options to develop?

Lots of info out there about the Cavalier F/TF-51D Mustang IIs. Some say US Army operated two, some say three Mustang IIs.  Aparently, even USAF had a few!  I am pretty sure there is a book about the Cavalier Mustangs.

Here are a couple of sites:

+1 on Marineflieger markings. In 1/48 too. There is very little in the way of Tornado markings except for GR.1s and GR.4s.
