KursadA Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) CD144018 will be a 1/144 sheet dedicated to the two recent special anniversary schemes worn by RAF C-130J Hercules. Both aircraft in the photo below (ZH880 and ZH883) will be featured, with optional serial numbers for regular line aircraft.

Trojan Thunder Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 I will have to ask the question, any chance of either of these in 1/72? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think I will eventually scale it up to 1/72 in 2018; but those tail markings are massive and it will likely take two separate sheets to pull it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trojan Thunder Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Any news on this sheet Kursad? Looks like you have allocated this sheet number to the new EC-121 sheet. Does this sheet have a new number? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 I will complete this design soon after I return to the good ol’ USA in a couple of days. It needs a few small tweaks. Greetings from Lake Como! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trash hauler Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Outstanding news Kursad ! I too was a little concerned when the numbers were reallocated. And since I might have your attention for a moment, Anything for the C-17 ??? I just KNOW someone must have slapped some paint on those "Billboard Tails" !! Keep up the Great Work !

Trash hauler Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Thank you , RCAFFAN ... I just knew someone had to take advantage of that "Barn Door" Tail !!! I am a little surprised the RAF hasn't joined in ... That I know of. Appreciate the pic very much. There you go, Kursad. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Trash hauler Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 (edited) Trojan Thunder, Now THAT is exactly what I meant. Gorgeous tail markings ! Kursad ... there's a few ideas for you right there. And considering the C-17 still has many years of service yet, this could be the start of another "Family" of markings for you. And I have no doubt the Aussies will be joining in. What do you think ? Oppps ! After further research, I discovered that 99 Sqd's markings are already available ! ( A mind is such a terrible thing to waste ! ) Edited August 6, 2018 by Trash hauler Updated after more research. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Looking forward to this Kursad! And thanks for including additional registrations for the line birds. The Minicraft C-130 kits are greatly lacking aftermarket decals in my opinion. For an aircraft that serves globally, there are very few options for anything that doesn't say USAF.

KursadA Posted December 29, 2018 Author Share Posted December 29, 2018 This sheet is now CD144018 and will also include markings for Hercules C.5 ZH887, which received RAF 100th anniversary tail art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Just finished this sheet - some pretty fancy tail markings on this one. Coming as part of the next batch. A 1/72 version might be in the cards; depending on how the small sheet sells primarily in the UK. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 With a new shipment of decals right around the corner, I don't have time to post profiles until next month - but here are the three aircraft featured: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
