NB-52A 52-0003  This might be an interesting Tall Tail BUFF, or a NASA sheet 804093906_NB-52A52-0003_Main_Scorboard_CU.thumb.jpg.71aa010043cf98c133532bdb9d8ab1f0.jpg2131294101_NB-52A52-0003_Main_Scorboard_Sm.thumb.jpg.adde78eeeb5f267ffc8da20598de2e3c.jpg134720075_NB-52A52-0003_X-15_Scoreboard_Sm.thumb.jpg.74522aabc2015cb4fe8ef05dc4e1c67c.jpg1578706747_NB-52A52-0003_Overall_Sm.thumb.jpg.d2f0ed9103f91ad9d965c8a62a5bafc3.jpg

I concur and would include the late Balls 8 markings as well in 1/72 please.  My apologies if I sound like a broken text.

I would have included Balls 8, bit I don't have any shots of that bird, handy.  I did take a picture of it from above and to the left in the late 70's, but that's not the interesting angle.  the shot was published in one of Bob Doors books.

With the new Squadron In Action book on the North American AJ-1/2 USN Savage bomber, I sincerely hope you will consider a 1/72 sheet.  Plenty of us have the Roden or Rareplanes kit in the stash.

Yes. Kit decals which were pretty floppy but I managed. I think recent Roden decals are better than those in kits of maybe 15 years ago.

 

That settles it.  We need non-floppy Savage decals from the one and only Caracal!

I added the links. For what ever reason adding photos isn’t working for me.  
 

that HH-60 is done up in a heritage SEA scheme. Looks good on it. I know there’s a UH-1N out of minot that is done up in a similar scheme. Maybe there could be a sheet done in a similar fashion to 48203.

As Kursad has not finished his Rescue helicopter multi-topic sheet, maybe this would be a good candidate to add?

These C-12s seem to be pretty prevalent and easy to find. Some USN "Station" birds might be of interest, with the Blue and Gold trim accents.

The Training C-12's are colorful, and transport variation also offer a number of variations. 

 

The Army RC-12's of the Army and IAF also offer some interesting variations.

Whitey, see my out of box review here.  I would love to see a multi service sheet for this aircraft.

Some Huey DUSTOFF "bumble Bees"

 

The 377the Med CO is the DUSTOFF unit in the ROK.  The CO had two operating locations in 1978.  A Plt. in Taegu and the main CO that operated out of Yongsan Heliport (Seoul).  Yongsan staged out of two sites, Osan AFB and Camp Cassy along the DMZ.  I spent a week tour at each before going down to Taegu for the balance of my ROK tour.  We covered the southern half of the S Korean operating area.

 

The UH-1H/V DUSTOFF aircraft had distinctive "bumble bee stripes" for operating in and out of the JSA are on the DMZ.  Some of the birds had Strella Kits, some didn't.  I seem to recall the norther birds were V models, with the Strella kits.  In Taegu we had some birds without the missile kits.  They all had armored pilot seats.  The bird with the "toilet bowl" exhaust (70-16328) was at Osan AFB, the other bird being towed (71-20088) at Camp Walker on the S side of Taegu.

 

As I recall, the primary component that was different on the V from the H was a radar altimeter.  The V models stayed in the medical units.

 

For those that watched the TV Show MASH, you might remember the patch on the wall of the Uijeongbu Officers Club, that was the actual patch of the 377th.

Yeah, the latest F-15E nose markings look good. However, I don't have the time to drop everything and work on the latest shiny object now.  I am sure I will eventually get to do a few of them in 1/72 and 1/48.

@KursadA,

No rush at all.  You have a ton of other things on your "to do" list in which I am more interested.  Just thought I would mention it while it's still fresh as they have "mission" and "kill" markings.

Kind regards,

Dutch
