KursadA Posted February 25, 2021 Share Posted February 25, 2021 Thanks! He sure has a few very interesting slides. I intend to do a couple of limited run (250 pcs) international C-130 sheets after the US Navy C-130 sheet I am working on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 For your basic sheets, I can't recall if I've suggested basic helicopter markings, specifically the warning arrows seen on the tail booms of most helicopters. These are usually provided in the form of the yellow band (in the case of the UH-1) with the red arrow and text printed on it. Many of us prefer to paint these bands, so it would be nice to have just the smaller markings to apply over the painted bands. (I paint the rotor stripes as well, but I could see where some modelers might like to see them as decals if you need to fill out a sheet.) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Viperguy Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 How about a HUP 1,2 sheet and a HO3S sheet for the AMP helicopters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 It is really nice - too bad it appeared after I released the new A-10C sheet; but it certainly looks like it could be done as a small add-on sheet. It definitely is going to be on the new 1/72 A-10C sheet that will be a scaled-down version of CD48191. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just throwing this out there but for 1/48 scale there I think is a possibility of just doing a USAF SEA heritage sheet. There’s a T-38C, UH-1N, the A-10C pictured above and also one of the last F-4E’s in service that are painted up in SEA scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 Roll out of the first RDAF F-35. For once it’s nice to see a bit of color on a lightning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
eraucubsfan Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 How about 1/48 sheet for the F9F Panther? The Monogram kits are still floating around, plus the Trumpeter kits. Most of the older sheets are harder to find. It would be nice to see some of the schemes like the Blue Angels, Ted William's aircraft etc., done again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Here is a cool CH-3! Some day maybe we’ll have a 1/48 kit. I guess for now we would settle for a 1/72 sheet. https://www.ebay.com/itm/5-Original-color-slides-CH-3C-89-MAW-1-HS-Andrews-AFB-May-1985-/383992118707?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49292 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very VIPish from the curtains in the windows. And I completely agree, we've needed a 1/48 kit forever. I've seen where some have tried to convert the Hasegawa SH-3 but I'm not that brave. don Edited March 3, 2021 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 It's not been treated well in 1/72 scale, either. Back in the late 60s, both Aurora and Revell made kits, and neither is great. Whirlybirds in the UK has a pretty good 1/72 scale resin kit if that's your type of thing. But 1/48 scale? - nuttin. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ATTIC did a resin conversion in 1/48. http://www.atticaerospace.com/hh-3e.htm I've never seen one but from the reviews I've read, it's one of those that you don't want to get anywhere near. I don't even think it's still available for those willing to give it a bash. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The worst resin casting I have ever seen is the Attic 1/48 P2V kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 There's a pattern with Attic. My F3H-1 early Demon conversion will never get built unless I invest in a belt sander first. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Still (technically) an FB-111A and will not require too much additional design work - I am sold. Something like this, perhaps? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) Yes, a great choice; the 428 FS (& 523 FS) seem underrepresented in both F-111s & Vipers- Thanks Chris Edited March 31, 2021 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moosemodeler Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 (edited) I really like how the recent SAC B-52G sheet has the numbers provided to be able to create any just from the unit be it an FB-111A from the 380th or 509th or the G's from the 428th. Maybe something like that ? Also starts out as the 428th TFTS in Mar 1990 before becoming FS in Nov 91. Edited March 22, 2021 by moosemodeler Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Blowtorch Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Speaking of F-111s, decals for this Aussie ARDU version would be welcome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 23, 2021 Share Posted March 23, 2021 I can't wait for the SAC and TAC "basic" sheets. Consider this also: I have trouble finding the various versions of the "Ferry Command" and early "The Air Transport Command" badges - as well as MATS, MAC, and Air Mobility Command. Of course these had more changes over the decades than SAC or TAC and may require more study. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
