KursadA Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 CD144010 will be a 1/144 scale sheet combining all of the EC-121 markings I earlier released in 1./72 scale, with some 1/144 scale additions such as windshield decals. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, good catch. The RAF Hercules sheet is still going to happen, but the design work is stalled as I need to get references on some aspects of the markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 (edited) Hey Kursad. Quick question about the 1/144 EC-121 decals. Any room to include PR-21, Navy EC-121 shot down by the North Koreans in 1969? The aircraft, Bureau number 135749, c/n 4316, bore the tail code "PR-21" and used the radio call sign Deep Sea 129. From what I've been able to pull together, it had been painted white upper and the light grey lower vs. the engine grey from earlier photos at the time of the shootdown.

I second your request for these markings for sure! The author’s final statement is extremely powerful,,,,, “As to the AF people who should have been at their positions, they were scattered around the building doing various personal things. The fallout was that the 2nd LT and the senior NCO on duty were reprimanded and I believe, both denied continued service past their existing contracts. I've always felt that if someone had remained in room five, our plane would have been alerted and would have broken its track and headed back to Japan.” Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 Sorry. I typed 1/144 in the search bar and that listing ppopped up, so I assumed it was 1/144. My bad. 😞 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Brown Posted April 15 Share Posted April 15 I’d definitely buy a 1/144 sheet if it’s reissued. I missed it the last time. Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
