Is anyone else interested in these schemes? I would love to see a sheet on the Turbo Mentor. The blue one is nice but have always loved the look of NASA's T-34C. And there are lots of pics posted on the interweb of this plane. Below photo is by Neils Aviation Photography. Edited August 4, 2021 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 This F-16D (er, X-62A) is quite colorful, and it's not even a commemorative scheme! Just don't make us apply decals over all those complex curves. LINKAGE Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Several Tormentors received commemorative schemes for the Naval Aviation Centennial and I believe this is one of them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Arrowhead Posted August 19, 2021 Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) How about a « Coral Sea 1986 Libyan Raiders F/A-18A » sheet ? These A/C are quite well documented, have most interesting heavily faded TPS schemes, but up to now were only covered by a pair of obsolete and out-of-production Superscale sheets. VFA-132 Privateers in their original tail art guise would be my favorite.

Adrian J Davies Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Hello Kursad, First of all thank you to Corey who directed me to this forum. I'm a long time fan of your decals, especially your 135 sheets, and can't wait to buy multiples of your forthcoming sheets. I do have a request, this time for a F-4 sheet. With the imminent release of the 1/72 F-4C and D from Fine Molds, is there any way you could be persuaded to retool your earlier 1/48 ANG sheets down to scale? I'm especially interested in a 1/72 version of 48-038. A wraparound SEA F-4 with California fin flash would really look ace. Many thanks, and again I love your range. Adrian.

Hey Adrian, welcome! 🙂 I agree with you, I too think a sheet to go with the new Fine Molds kit would sell like a license to print hot cakes! 🙂 Edited August 26, 2021 by Corey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for your kind words - about scaling down the ANG F-4C sheet to 1/72: I really wonder why I have not done this yet. I totally agree it's a great idea and I will start working on a scaled-down sheet ASAP, perhaps adding a KS ANG jet in there to fill the sheet. Thanks again! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adrian J Davies Posted August 26, 2021 Share Posted August 26, 2021 Oh if you are looking for subjects to fill a sheet. The Indiana ANG had some lovely Cs in SEA wraparound flying out of Fort Wayne. Again, many thanks for all your hard work. I do buy them in twos, because I hate the idea of cutting them up. A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

juanchopancho Posted September 6, 2021 Share Posted September 6, 2021 I would definitely be interested in 86 Libyan raiders sheet. Some of the Hornets had kill marks also no? Radar sites ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted September 9, 2021 Share Posted September 9, 2021 I would like to see an 1/72 and or 1/144 E-8C J-STARS sheet or maybe include it on a next C-135 sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

To piggy back off your E-8 J-Stars idea, maybe do up a E-8 J-Stars, E-3 AWACS and E-6 Mercury sheet in 1/144. All three are based off the 707 airframe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the kit is not released, I will build an early model E-6A using their C-18A (#14594) kit with their CFM-56 engines (#14521BC) and scratch the few wingtip and tail aerials. But I do think a combined 1/144 E-3A/B/C, E-6A/B & E-8B/C sheet may be viable. Although, the kit decals are not that bad and the actual marking options were not that varied. I would love to see a sheet for 1/144 E-3A Saudi, E-3D RAF, & E-3F French machines. And in 1/72 as well. K/r, Dutch Edited September 18, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted September 19, 2021 Share Posted September 19, 2021 (edited) I would really love to see an E-3C Sentry of the 961st AWACS, 18th WG, circa 2000. I think the Tinker & Alaska squadrons have been done, but not the Kadena squadron with the ZZ tailcode and stencil shogun. BTW the UK retired their E-3D Sentries just last month. E-3C 71-1407 961st AWACS at Kadena AB circa 6 Nov 1999. Note 961st badge on nose and no Shogun on tail. E-3C 80-0138 with smaller ZZ tailcode & Shogun stencil on tail, but without the 961st or ACC badge on the nose. Here is a quick chart to show the tail stripes by squadron. 960 AW&CS ---- From March 1, 2000 OK white 961 AW&CS Red From 1st October 1991 ZZ red 962 AW&CS ----- AK green from May 1, 1993 963 AW&CS B & W check Used from the beginning of the 1980's to the middle Black Mid 1980s to May 31, 1992 From June 1, 1992 OK black 964 AW&CS Red From June 1, 1992 OK Red 965 AW&CS Yellow From June 1, 1992 OK Yellow 966 AW&CS Blue From June 1, 1992 OK Blue Edited September 19, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Same for A-4B/C/E/Fs. The A-7A/B suggestion seems to take off well as did A-4E/F's but the early A-4B/C ideas just kind of quietly slipped on by. Would love to see some early A-4B/C's Navy and Marine markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There have been a spate of A-4B/C sheets from other manufacturers lately - I am sure there are still some schemes not being covered, but I would rather spend my design time on sheets for newer kits. I will perhaps do these in 1/72 though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
