aircal62 Posted December 13, 2024 Share Posted December 13, 2024 Another interesting conversion would be in 1/144 an X-15 pylon and wing cut out along with tail modifications for the Academy tall fin B-52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted December 19, 2024 Share Posted December 19, 2024 How about a ERA-3B conversion for the 1/72 Hasegawa kit? I know someone did one back in the day but good luck finding it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AVShooter2112 Posted December 21, 2024 Share Posted December 21, 2024 Sorry if this has already been suggested... I liked the Edwards Phantom sheet, so perhaps some Edwards AFB F-16s as well. Red/white F-16C (86-0371) and red/white/blue F-16D (87-0377) are nice schemes. Maybe some Holloman QF-16 FSATs? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not too much but it depends what an approach one would like to take. Decal or masks. Decals will be huuuge, masks are not liked by everyone. BTW this Raven decals are available: https://www.modelmaker.com.pl/products/?query=raven&type=title Buy it will be a hell lot better quality if made by Caracal.

Jay in Texas Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Long shot, but I’d love to see some 1/32 RF-4C’s from Bergstrom AFB before I die… Quote Link to post Share on other sites
strikeeagle801 Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 Maybe a simple addition to your Viper update sets The landing gear doors for both LWG and HWG sets. The Tamiya kits have nasty ejector pin marks on them in hard to reach areas. You already include the new heavyweight NLG door, so I wouldn't think backdating that and adding the mains would be too difficult Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kernsc Posted February 11 Share Posted February 11 FWIW, while considering my options for my 1/48 Italeri Tornado, I've discovered that aftermarket decal coverage is pretty sparse. I don't trust Italeri kit-supplied decals, so may piece some together from other subjects (e.g., F-4F) if I stick with a Luftwaffe bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BWDenver Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 While there is not kit of a DHC-3T, there is a rather nice conversion set from Khee-Kha Art Products in Alaska. I spent a morning on the wharf waiting for the cruise ship to load and move out. I love seaplanes. And shot a bunch of them. They have several hundred takeoff and landings out of Vancouver harbor. Harbor Air is the principle operator, with multiple minor operators. the seaplanes are the Alaskan and bush Ubers. The Red 7 White Canadian scheme is on a DHC-3T and DHC-2 of Harbor Air. The wing number is the last number on the harbor Air ID number. The land right in front of you. Canadian C Number on the bottom of the ft wing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BWDenver Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Harbor Air changed their colors a while ago from Yellow and White to Blue with Yellow accents. It says Carbon Neutral on the nose under the green logo The logos on the fuselage are sometimes in color, some are in grey on the door. Not sure what it says above Carbon neutral. Close up on the green logo from a DHC-2 Beaver. Just before touch down, the hanging ropes are interesting, all the seaplanes have them.. Info on door in grey... Love the approach angles. Note the number on the wing. C-GOPP landing C-FJHA 318 taking off C-GLCP 311 at the wharf The Harbor Air birds all have panoramic windows swapped characteristic of Kenmore Conversions.

BWDenver Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Alaska based birds Wings Airways based in Juneau, at Juneau_ As it passed by the ship I was on Looks like the colors are yellow, blue and red. Tail logo matches the color of the trim on the Wings Airways birds. Taquan, Ketchikan AK. This bird passed right next to the ship at top deck level on final to pass between the island that held the airport and the town. the two tone blue on the tail is interesting. At the Wharf, a few minutes later. Edited February 20 by BWDenver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 (edited) Now that IsraDecal Studio has released both a 1/72 & 1/144 Israeli Air Force KC-707 refueling boom conversion, would you consider a military 707 sheet in 1/72 & 1/144? Possible candidates include: Israeli AF KC-707 Re'em tanker / transport: (IsraDecal boom) Iranian Air Force 707-3J9C tanker / transport: Beech pods (requires standard Boeing high speed boom) Saudi KE-3C & RE-3C tanker / recon: (requires standard Boeing high speed boom) Brazillian AF KC-707 tanker / transport: (Beech pods) Canadian AF CC-137C tanker / transport: (Beech pods) Australian AF 707-338C tanker / transport: (SF pods by Hawkeye Models) Omega 707-320C tanker: (SF pods by Hawkeye Models) Chilean AF 707-320C tanker / transport: (IsraDecal boom) Chilean AF IAI 707 Phalcon (using HQ 3D conversion) We could use some 3D printed Beech wingtip pods (Brazil, Canada, Iran) and Sergeant Fletcher pods (RAAF & Omega).

Thanks for the head's up on the KC-707 refueling boom conversion. B. And that sheet could include Omega. C. We could really use those AR pods, esp. in 1/144. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 If it hasn't been mentioned before, we could use decals for the EA-6B in 70s and early 80s full color schemes. There hasn't been anything on the market since the old Microscale Decals days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 Black Dog has a really nice resin 1/48 open nose gun compartment with guns for the ICM B-26K Invader. I would like to have the same thing for a 1/48 PBJ-1H/B-25H. With a 75mm cannon and radar pod. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

achterkirch Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 Since finemolds is coming out with a F-4F you could scale down your 1/48 offering for this new kit release. Also they are releasing a F-4E late could maybe do something for that as well? I know I would love some late Cold War markings for it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 11 Share Posted April 11 New F-4E markings from Caracal are long overdue. I am working on them and will release them within the next 5-6 months. Early Prowlers are a great idea - one of the first things I will be working now as soon as I am done with the long-suffering S-3 Viking, RA-5C Vigilante and FJ-4 Fury projects.

Hi, Like Achterkirch, I'd love some late F-4E and the Norm 81 F-4F's in 1/72. For the USAF, I'd especially like some Daegu, Osan and Seymour Johnson options. Early Prowlers, S-3's and RA-5C's too, of course. 🙂 Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
