Corey Posted December 15, 2020 Share Posted December 15, 2020 I like the idea of RF-4’s, especially, but not exclusively, ANG RF-4’s. The California guard would be a good place to start! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will put it on the to do list, and hopefully we can have a sheet that will make justice to the memory of a great American hero on time for the first or second anniversary of his passing. You also want to be very careful to not get within the crosshairs of his widow/last wife Virginia. She is apparently money mad and caused a few waves a few years back threatening to sue for royalties on products that contained markings that Chuck flew. A prime example was the Pegasus 1/18 X-1 kit they did. The first issues have Glamorous Glennis on the box art and on the decal sheet. But she apparently got in touch with them, so many of the late issues had a Sharpie taken to the box art and the nose art might have been cut from them. Of course, with Revell doing a Glamorous Glennis Bell X-1 in 1/32 now and Eduard doing their repop of the 1/48 in 2016, maybe Virginia only targeted Pegasus since they are based in California.

jonbryon Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 How about the F-CK-1 in 1/48? There are two decent kits out there but practically no aftermarket decals and I hear that the AFV Club kit decals are not great. Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I'd just be happy with a reprint of the last OV-10 decals you did. Sheets I kept thinking I'll pick them up, but never did for some reason then they were OOP everywhere.

Stephen Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The B-26K ? The new ICM 1/48 kit is due 3rd quarter 2021. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 7, 2021 Share Posted January 7, 2021 The OV-10 reprint is a sure thing - it was a very successful item even with nothing except the old Hawk kit in the market, and should be even better with a new kit in the market. I will probably improve on the design a bit by adding a walkway sheet. The B-26K would be a great subject as well, but I need to see what ICM will put on the kit decal sheet. The range of possible options there is a bit limited. Perhaps a better choice would be to put it a couple B-26K options on the Invader sheet that I will be doing.

pookie Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 (edited) I don't think I have ever seen a decal sheet dedicated to T-33 (TV-2) in Navy/Marines service. I could be wrong though. Edited January 11, 2021 by pookie Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least for the 1/72 sheet. 😇 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

sierrascale Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 1/48 F-89 Scorpions (C, D & Js) and CF-100s. Prices for existing decals on eBay, if you can even find them, are insane. $40+. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Those and Tutors can set you back more money then they are worth. Sad, as there were SO many cool schemes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 11, 2021 Share Posted January 11, 2021 The Scorpion sheets are in the works - hopefully coming in the second half of the year. I will need to think about the CF-100 decals : while I really like the "Clunk", I am not sure of its appeal outside Canada- you might have noticed I mostly stuck to US-only subjects since the beginning of the pandemic as shipping problems had an impact on international sales.

thegoodsgt Posted January 12, 2021 Share Posted January 12, 2021 When you downsize that F-89 sheet to 1/72, maybe you can sneak in markings for the A and B variants. Shouldn't require all that much room. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

eraucubsfan Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 How about a sheet for the 1/48 (and maybe 1/72) PBY/OA-10 Catalina? There are a few sheets out there but probably the kit(s) could use the Caracal treatment Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kursad, It is true that of the 692 CF-100 Canucks built, almost all served with the RCAF from 1952-1968 and a few continued to solder on with the CAF from 1968-1982. Fifty-three MK.5s flew for Belgium in three squadrons from 1957-1962. (One crashed prior to delivery.) Consider that that both Hobbycraft released several thousand kits & Astra a few hundred in 1/72 scale and Hobbycraft also released several hundred in 1/48 scale. Consider also that the Hobbycraft decals were essentially useless from the start. Next consider that Skylancers only released approximately 500 sets of the very limited CF-100 Mk.5 decal in 1/72 scale covering 428, 413, & 425 Sqns and Modeldecal (UK) released set 100 (also 1/72) with markings for the three Belgian Sqns. Arrow Graphics released several one off subject sheets in both 1/72 & 1/48 scales covering a few select sqns and color schemes, however, their method of printing on continuous clear film put some off from using them. (I did use them them over 25 years ago on my own CF-100 Mk.4B in 440 Sqn marks.) This may explain why so few Clunk kits were ever built (Shawn Weiler excepted) and are probably still haunting model stash closets all over the the free world. Lastly, consider that the CF-100 was the contemporary of many US ADC intercepters, such as: F-86D/L Sabre Dog, F-89 Scorpion, F-94 Starfire, F-101 Voodoo, F-102 Delta Dagger, F-104 Starfighter, F-106 Delta Dart, and yes, even the F-15A/C Eagle, although in an airborne jammer role! The Clunk has had a long and illustrious career. You have done other Canadian subjects, albeit, as one or two markngs on a sheet with other subjects. So, why not go for the Clunk? It could be a slam dunk! Yours truly, Dutch Edited January 20, 2021 by Dutch spelling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 I do have one left in the stash, it will use 40 year old Arrow graphics decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 (edited) Oh, I forgot to mention that CanMilAir and Canuck Decals both issued CF-100 sheets in mutilple scales, but both ceased operations in 2019. Edited February 6, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 If you end up turning out any more 1/72 F-16 ANG units, I'm still DESPERATE for Vermont's (134th) GE-powered big-mouthed C versions. It's the only (glaring) hole in my otherwise complete Vermont ANG collection, and it's the aircraft they flew the longest, with the most photos available. Wolfpak had some similar markings for their early PW-powered C's, but they're not the same markings. First pic is their hi-vis show bird. The second pic, 262, is a MiG-23 killer.... https://pixels.com/featured/1-a-vermont-air-national-guard-f-16c-rob-edgcumbe.html https://www.f-16.net/g3/f-16-photos/album38/album68/86-0262-1914029897 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
