Folks, I heard you and I will go ahead and release an F-82 sheet in the next few months. I already assigned a product number and added it to the site. I will share more details as I make progress.

YES!!  You rock Kursad.

What a neglected subject. Model manufacturers wet their pants for paper projects from the axis countries or even for the one or two examples of some obscure test aircraft, but a F-82? It's a shame. I hope someone in the industry sees the enthusiasm in the post and a dedicated decal maker willing to help out.

I'd certainly be down for a set of markings for Lt. "Skeeter" Hudson's F-82G FQ-357 which scored the first aerial kill of the Korean war.  Even if the Modelcraft kit is functionally unbuildable.  Hopefully someday somebody will make a better one.

Cool! I hope at least one "G" is on there. Wasn't it a F-82G that had the first kill of the Korean War?

 

I've had the kit on my stash a while, gathered an aftermarket RADAR pod somewhere, and have a set of Skyraider wheels for the mains, looking for proper prop blades (also from a Skyraider or F8F??) and some tanks from a Monogram P-61. Also have some interior Eduard stuff and Squadron canopies...eyy yup, looks like decals is about all I'd be lacking 🙂

Lone Star Models sells a set of prop blades for the F-82.   Just ordered a set last week when this talk started and Kursad said he was going to produce the decals.

In the Facebook comments about the future N.A. P-51H Mustang kit (Link), Modelsvit team has also announced that a new tool 1/48th North American F-82G Twin Mustang is also in the pipe line.

We'll most probably also need ANG birds decals for the new Modelsvit 1/48th P-51H kit.

I am concerned it would be of questionable quality and rather "raw" when compared to a larger manufacturer.

Modelsvit seems to be well-liked in the few posts in which their name appears.  Can these future kits be any worse than the Modelcraft F-82 or any more difficult to build than the Classic Airframes P-51H?  Like the AMK Tomcat, my opinions are withheld until the kits are in my wrinkled paws.

Good point. I'll wait for the reviews.

Hey Kursad,

 

 Just wondering if there has been any progress on this sheet. I'd like to order a few sheets and if this will be out soonish I will order them all together to save shipping....really looking forward to this one!

Boy, I can’t wait for the new Modelsvit kit to put Caracal decals on.  Hopefully it will be a much better kit than the Minicraft one!

Any kit would be an improvement over the Modelcraft kit.  Unfortunately I have 4 in the stash along with all the aftermarket I could find.  This before I heard Modelsvit was doing a kit.  Just waiting on Kursad to do up his amazing decals.

Sell them on eBay! I dropped a F-82G a couple weeks back for a surprising sum. 🤓👍
