Dutch Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) 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: Edited August 25, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 The FAA subject matter is quite obscure @Dutch, not sure if many would be interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted August 25, 2019 Share Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) 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 Edited August 25, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stephen Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 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, https://www.flickriver.com/photos/classic_aviation/8310773280/ https://www.flickriver.com/photos/classic_aviation/8262769168/ https://www.flickriver.com/photos/classic_aviation/8178277847/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 since the airfix kit is in production currently, and the kit decals are terrible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.

KursadA Posted September 5, 2019 Share Posted September 5, 2019 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.

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.

aircal62 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 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 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 (edited) 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: https://erenow.net/ww/mustang-thoroughbred-stallion-of-the-air/14.php https://www.sas1946.com/main/index.php?topic=5933.0 https://www.swissmustangs.ch/cavalier-mustangs Edited September 12, 2019 by Dutch add info.

Some of those Latin American aircraft have been covered by Aztec, but there's always room for more! Edited September 19, 2019 by Charlie D. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
