AD-4N Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I would love some 1/48 F-18F line jets done Caracal style. Not fancy CAG or Blue Angels. Everyone seems to do those. I mean RAAF and USN. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Arrowhead Posted May 28, 2022 Share Posted May 28, 2022 (edited) I’d love a F-111 « early years » sheet, covering TFX prototypes plus the NASA test beds (AFTI and TACTS). Would make a great companion to my AFTI/F-16! Edited May 28, 2022 by The Arrowhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agree, the initial RDT+E F-111 series offers a good variety of schemes....Most in light gull gray over white, one or two in natural finish, and the FB-111A prototype. The NASA TACT/ATFI F-111s were interesting as well. PLUS, it would help to round out your series of F-111 decals. After all, you do make or have made decals for most US schemes the F-111 had. Rod.

Very colorful VRM-50 aircraft. See below: And Hasegawa releases the 1/72 CMV-22B kit! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However, Hasegawa has previously released kits with extra resin parts for special versions, often as "limited run" editions. Fingers crossed! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

f4phixer Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I'm hoping for a 1/32 sheet for the new USAF/ANG F-35A squadrons standing up. I have my fingers crossed that the Wisconsin ANG is covered. However, an aggressor would a close second. Rob Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 13, 2022 Share Posted June 13, 2022 Those aggressor F-35s are really nice. I will draw the art later this week for a future 1/32 sheet and consider an add-on to the new 1/48th sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't know the kit was already out : I ordered mine on Ebay, but it looks like it will reach me in about 10 days or so. I should have the artwork ready for the fit checks by that time.

VRC-50 had some cool tail markings on theirs as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spruemeister Posted June 22, 2022 Share Posted June 22, 2022 (edited) You really don't need more ideas, but... here's another idea. I'm in the midst of a project involving a summary history of the USAFE Skyblazers aerobatic team from 1949-1962, and a guide to modeling their aircraft in 1/48 scale. There are options in existence to build all of the aircraft in all of the paint schemes with one exception. The very first aircraft they flew was the Lockheed F-80B. Finaggling an F-80C back into a B isn't a problem. Decals are. Someone needs to make the F-80B markings to complete the Skyblazers universe and give a sense of completion to modelers who are wanting to finish a team set. Hint hint. There was such a decal sheet once upon a time. Well, two. First was the kit decal sheet in the Monogram F-80 kit marketed as a B (Germany, black box, labeled as a B, 74003) but things just happen sometimes and you maybe never really know why, but the graphic arts people decided to smoke something and designed the Skyblazers name in powder blue instead of the proper dark blue letters bordered in white. Then there was the JBOT print to order sheet, which is now out of production and appears to be staying that way for eternity. So somebody needs to step up and fill the 1/48 gap. Don't let the 1/72 guys gloat over the fact that they have these in the Sword kit. https://aerobaticteams.net/en/resources/i208/Skyblazers-F-80B-Shooting-Star-Gallery.html Rick L. ps- the single T-33A flown by the team in 1950 also needs a 1/48 option. Those 1/72 guys.... win again. 😑 Edited June 22, 2022 by Spruemeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 (edited) This one is a beauty. I can knock this out pretty quickly, but I will need to bundle it with a few other heritage jets, it may be a good candidate for a 1/72 version of CD48203.
