Stefan buysse Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 Hi, Great to see that this sheet will go ahead. Back in the dark days of late February when I thought that Ukraine was going to get crushed, I bought a couple of Ukranian kits including an F-82. I don't mind at all that the sheet is going to be loaded with Korean war subjects...I look forward to the F-86 sheets as well. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted October 9, 2022 Author Share Posted October 9, 2022 Changing the color of "Dottie Mae" to yellow after one of you brought this photo to my attention. Thanks for the heads-up, and please let me know if you notice anything else so I can get the decals for this historic but neglected fighter right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It looks like the kit sheet covered two of the most attractive ones. I am all for girlie art, but those big, interesting names in Gothic script went neglected for so long that I had to do those.

KursadA Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Literally flying off the shelves - I hope you will like the sheet when it starts reaching your mailboxes later this week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Anyone having trouble ordering the sheet? When I try to order the PayPal page won’t load. It just continues to try to load and never completes. I can log onto PayPal normally, but the order link for the F-82 sheet isn’t working for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 I just checked and do not see any issues - folks are successfully placing orders since I enabled the button. If it does not work for your OS and browser combination you can email me for a Paypal invoice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Williams Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 (edited) Apparently, it’s an issue with mobile IOS Safari. Doesn’t work on either my iPad or iPhone, even though I’ve never had a problem before. Finally went through. May have been a temporary issue with PP’s cart.

Spruemeister Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 One note to make regarding option 10 on this sheet if you are going to make "Gruesome Twosome": Some of the 339th aircraft had names that were parallel to the ground when on the ground. Most had names that ran parallel to the aircraft centerline. After re-examining my files it appears to me that Gruesome Twosome was an exception, having the name on the left fuselage running parallel to the ground, and the name on the right fuselage running parallel to the centerline. It's one of the few 339th planes that I have photos from both sides to compare. And yes, it could be from two different time frames but these planes and names weren't around at Johnson for a long time before being replaced with F-94B aircraft. And yes, they did switch tail numbers some. The tanks also switched planes as well. This is 4 with a 5 drop tank being fitted. Top photo via World Air Power Journal, bottom from my collection. Model on. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spruemeister Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 *Moved from 1/72 thread* Another pointless observation/variation: For some reason, the aircraft data block had a couple different locations on the F and G night fighters. My photos of 339th Twin Mustangs show them to be located lower and more forward than the earlier model's location up near the windscreen. As per usual, check photos. In this instance, Modelsvit's decal placement guide shows it in the lower position as I am seeing in my photos. My only guess for the differing locations is that maybe the exhaust trail was messing with the stencil and obliterating it on the black night fighters. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jonbryon Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 I notice that 'Our Lil' Lass' didn't make it onto the instruction sheet, but the decals are included. Any chance of a pdf update to the instructions? Thanks Jon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
