fessSto Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 We could definitely use SAC today. Love those images, Dutch, and the unique markings. I can't recall ever seeing an arrow as a tail flash on a B-47. I have the old Experts Choice B-50 decals in my stash for the 1/72 Academy kit but might change my mind if Kursad dropped these beauties on us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) I have the old Academy 1/72 RB-50 kit in the stash and would love to have some clean and up to date markings of "Carribean Queen". The markings that come with the kit leave lots to be desired. Here is a link showing what she looked like.

Bo105flyer Posted December 10, 2022 Share Posted December 10, 2022 I have several 1/72 U-2 kits (Academy & AirFix) and wanted markings for Gary Power's CIA U-2 Article 360 (AF Serial 56-6693). I was searching on line for any pre-shoot down pictures of this aircraft, which to no surprise I came up zip, I did find a color profile of it showing its only markings as 360 in red on the vertical fin and standard rescue and canopy operation markings near the cockpit canopy. Since the U-2 decals that Caracal has does not include they markings, can we possibly have these included on a remake or a new sheet including later versions of the aircraft? I would post the profile here but having trouble doing so. Thanks Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA https://www.thisdayinaviation.com/tag/lockheed-u-2c/ This link shows the aircraft but without the Article 360 on the vertical tail fin. I guess only those who were there really knows for sure how it was marked. Steve Sliger Greenwell Springs, LA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 (edited) Kursad, Any plans to reduce the two 1/48 Beech UC-45 sheets down to 1/72 scale for the Hobbycraft kits (WWII & Post-war)? K/r, Dutch Edited December 14, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Corey Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 With renewed F4U-4 interest driven by the movie Devotion, any possibility of a post war F4U-4 sheet? Eagle Strike had a couple sheets that covered that subject, but unfortunately they contracted the printing of those sheets to a shop in Mexico. It seems all the Aeromaster and Eagle Strike sheets printed at that shop have badly yellowed over time. some nice Caracal designed and Cartograf or Microscale printed sheets would be fantastic!

Stephen Posted December 21, 2022 Share Posted December 21, 2022 What about US Navy/Marine SAR helos such as those based at the various air stations? I'm thinking of the SH-3s , MH-60S and HH-46. I'd love to see Pax River and China Lake. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Happy Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 1/32 High Viz/all Gull Grey F-14A’s livery’s (VF-1 Wolfpack or VF-211 etc) and/or F-14 stencils would be very much appreciated. Another option would be VF-201 & VF-202 There seems to be a dirth of the subject in this scale nowadays or the subject is proving very challenging to obtain. Sincerely, Mr. Happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slartibartfast Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Microscale did an F-14 sheet in 1:48 for an IPMS convention that includes VF-201/202. Don’t know of anyone doing 1:32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Happy Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 Hey thanks Slartibartfast, Yeah I’m familiar with the sheet in 1/48. I worked that NATS. I was just hoping for some new 1/32 F-14A decals as they are getting to be few and far between. Hope you’ll make to San Marcos in 23. Take care and appreciate the reminder, Mr. Happy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted December 29, 2022 Share Posted December 29, 2022 Hello, Kursad. Now that you have drawn the USAF Starfighters so beautifully... Have you considered the Turkish F-104's? They were quite varied in their appearance, having come from different previous users. I think Turkey was the only export customer for the F-104S, and I don't recall ever seeing decals for a Turkish F-104S. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted January 6, 2023 Share Posted January 6, 2023 We're sorely out of decals for the F-111F, both the SEA scheme and the later Gunship gray's. Would be good to get some new alternatives here, Kursad 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ralph71 Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 I would absolutely love to see a complete sheet of F-16N and TF-16N decals to modern standards in the original scheme for the NFWS, VF126 VF45 and VF43. What might be the chances of that? Inquiring minds would love to know! Best regards from the UK! Ralph Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Especially the VF45 jets with the green nose number and the boxing blackbird on the tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 (edited) Kursad, how about some Euro I F-4C/D/E & RF-4C Phantoms? I can only find one 1/72 AM sheet with two markings. I'd like to see F-4D 65-0731 of the 31st TTW at Homestead circa 1983. Here's the other side. K/r, Dutch Edited January 19, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
picknpluck Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 On the topic of F-4s...how about some of the Pave Knife-equipped jets from Vietnam? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fessSto Posted January 19, 2023 Share Posted January 19, 2023 Dutch, I think you struck a chord. I agree with you about Euro I Phantoms. Always a sharp scheme in my opinion. If I could add to that, how about some Hill Gray ANG birds; I'm partial to the Michigan and Minnesota ANG flights. Here are some examples: https://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Air-Force/McDonnell-F-4D-Phantom-II/2007244; https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/179th_Fighter_Squadron#/media/File%3A179th_Fighter-Interceptor_Squadron_McDonnell_F-4D-26-MC_Phantom_65-0608.jpg. These have been done in high- vis but I haven't seen them done in 1/72 with the low-vis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Continuing with the Phantom theme, hopefully we will get the 1/72 version of the USAF QF-4E "Team Target" sheet! It would be great to be able to model the last of the USAF Phantoms in 1/72. Have fun modeling! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted January 20, 2023 Share Posted January 20, 2023 Keep the ideas coming - a 1/72 version of the QF-4E sheet is under development for an April / May release. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Miramar Road Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 How about some more A-7 decals? In particular, how about some more early A-7s? There are still plenty of nice schemes for the SLUF that haven't been done before. One in particular I have my eyes on is this VA-204 River Rattler A-7B with the big orange Louisiana state silhouette on the tail. I'd love to do this with the Fujimi 1/72 kit in a carrier launch diorama. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 Not a "new" topic, but a curious request about the status of the planned 1/72 CH-53 sheets... what´s the planned release date for those? I need some options for a german Heeresflieger version... HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also have some doubts on the viability of two 1/72 helicopter sheets so I will need to think about combining parts of these two sets to release one sheet only.

It is likely my favorite aircraft. It is definitely the one that I have photographed the most before it was retired. Of course, I am planning on building the NASA Phantom (145313) at some point to combine my interests. Have fun modeling! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted January 21, 2023 Share Posted January 21, 2023 I would love a USCG sheet for my Roden C-123. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
