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 Me too! Although the Douglas AD/A-1 Skyraider is also right up there. 😉 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Now you have me worried. I've been looking forward to 1/72 USAF H-34. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I should have clarified it - I meant two new, separate 1/72 scale CH-53 sheets at the same time. The H-34 sheet is on the 2023 schedule.

Hajo L. Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Uh, that H-34-sheet must have flown below my radar... Does it come with a grey SAR-version for a HH-34J? That would be a very welcome addition to complete my SAR/CSAR-fleet! HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) I know the latest greatest "Dark Viper" schemes are all the rage now but there are several F-16 Wings that have rarely (some never) been done in kit or aftermarket decal form. The 507th FG flew Block 5 & 10 jets out of Tinker, tail code SH, and the 926th FG flew early (small mouth) Block 30s out of NAS JRB New Orleans, tail code NO - I've never seen decals for either of these wings. The 31st TFW flew Block 15 jets out of Homestead, first with ZF coded tails, then with HS tail codes. Outside of a single Hasegawa 1/48 kit I've never seen HS tail code decals, and never seen ZF tail code decals for them. The 347th FW out of Moody and the 56th TTW out of MacDill may have been covered, but I've only seen a decades old MicroScale sheet for MacDill. Same for the early jets for the 474th TFW at Nellis, only decades old MicroScale sheets. The 54th FG at Holloman now flies Block 42s with HO tail codes and, outside of a recent sheet featuring fancy tail art, I've never seen decals for line jets for them. Seems like a lot of possibilities here. Open to corrections if any of these have already been done (in the last decade or two) .

The 2021 IPMS Nationals at Las Vegas featured a sheet by Bullseye Decals for several 57th & 474th Wg jets, including a 474th F-16A. (My apologies to the baby seals.)

habu2 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The 474th jet on the IMPS sheet looks to be the same one covered on Superscale sheet 48-137 ~40 years ago Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Given that this is Caracal's forum, we should stick to this brand, but yes, it's the same albeit with better quality than the old sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D. Posted January 24 Share Posted January 24 With 2 new kits on the market, How about some F-4G wild weasels? SEA, Euro 1 ( my fav ) and Hill grey? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 I will definitely do an F-4G sheet before summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 How about some VF-202 F-14’s? I don’t think anyone has done them before at least in 1/48th scale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr.Happy Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 Ditto on the VF-201 & 202 decals for the Phantoms and Tomcats in 1/32, 1/48, & 1/72 please 🙏 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted January 25 Share Posted January 25 The full color F-14 in the pics I attached is 162711. I believe that’s the last F-14A ever made. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted January 26 Share Posted January 26 While IPMS published a sheet with VF-201 for a convention years ago, a new sheet with both Ft. Worth squadrons would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffATC Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 Would love to see a sheet of tail code and serial number marks for USAF, similar to the new F-22 serial numbers sheet but also with the 18-24" letters. For my selfish purposes, especially for F-16s in the Hill Scheme in 1/48. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Arrowhead Posted January 27 Share Posted January 27 (edited) Any chances to see a re-re-issue of the 1/48 B-58 Hustler sheet ? Edited January 28 by The Arrowhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PBoilermaker Posted February 3 Share Posted February 3 US P-3C Orions in overall gloss gull gray (VP-30, VP-26). 1/72 and 1/144. Classic white over gray would be great, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
