viking73 Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 (edited) This is awesome news! OK & TN ANG (and really any ANG options) would be great, thanks Kursad. Guess I'd better quit screwing around and get mine ready for paint! -Derek Edited June 30, 2018 by viking73 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I received the Roden kit yesterday and really liked it. I will be doing a sheet for the C-133 when it appears, too. The C-133 is on sale at Sprue Brothers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Yes, it was sold out before I could order. It should be available more widely stateside in a couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted April 12, 2019 Share Posted April 12, 2019 (edited) Any update on the C-124 sheet? I know your busting your hump on getting the B-52 and SR-71 decals finished but was just curious. (Along with 1/48 F-82, F-94A/B, and any of your other Braille Scale decals......) Edited April 12, 2019 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 26, 2019 Share Posted May 26, 2019 Well, my C-124C kit arrived today. Can't wait for the decal release. Hoping for NH ANG markings. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 In addition to later ANG and MAC markings, the C-124 sheet will also have some of the more colorful markings applied to the "Old Shakey" during the 1950's - such as the 53rd Troop Carrier Squadron option here.

KursadA Posted May 30, 2019 Author Share Posted May 30, 2019 52nd Troop Carrier Squadron is another unit featured on this sheet: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 On 6/22/2018 at 3:41 PM, KursadA said: But what I am really interested are the earlier, more colorful markings as seen on 1st, 2nd and 3rd (see below) Strategic Support Squadrons during the early 1950s, at least one SAC example; and some Troop Carrier squadrons. 7th, 52nd, 53rd, 54th and 14th TCS each seem to have very nice, unique markings. I have been researching the subject for the last couple of weeks and found enough research material for some of them. We'll see which ones I can include. Hi, Personally, I would be most interested in the early ones with the stylised markings below the cockpit. Is the one above going to make it onto the sheet? Cheers, Stefan.

viking73 Posted May 30, 2019 Share Posted May 30, 2019 Very nice Kursad! So this sheet is looking like a July or August release then? -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I realise space on the sheets is at premium, but have you considered adding black dots for the fuselage windows? Maybe it is a bit ridiculous, but I like decals for these. When I looked at what I could use for fuselage windows for the C-97's, all I found were the ones on Caracal's Constellation sheet. If you did s sheet with just 1/144 scale windows, I'd want at least one. Cheers, Stefan. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 31, 2019 Author Share Posted May 31, 2019 The C-124 sheet will have windshield and window decals, particularly because the kit does not provide transparent windows. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jaime Longo Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Quote I’d love to see Decals for a 62nd TCW C-124 from Larson, One of the first major Airlift operations using Globemasters was Operation “ Bali Hai ” in 1954, 62nd TCW C-124s flew in from all over the place to Orly to Airlifted French Toops to DaNang they landed Dien Ben Phu fell, I have a few of my Pops old slides but they're a bit too big to post here, Cheers, Jaime Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 6, 2019 Author Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) This is what the main sheet will look like : Edited June 9, 2019 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) It would be nice to have a blank yellow aircraft number panel and a couple of 0-9 number sets so we could build individual aircraft numbers? I know, I'm only thinking of myself... Wanting to build this one in the USAF Museum that my Dad spent MANY hours aboard logging in time as a Loadmaster. https://www.nationalmuseum.af.mil/Visit/Museum-Exhibits/Fact-Sheets/Display/Article/196101/douglas-c-124-globemaster-ii/ I'm in for probably 3-4 sets of this one alone!

Drifterdon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Awesome! One of those looks like the bird from Strategic Air Command when they load up and move the entire wing to Yokota. Like Scott, I'm easily in for 3 sheets. Another grand slam home run Kursad. You wouldn't have the time and room to add a white CONTINENTAL for the blue/yellow tail band of this bird would you? Looks like you have the other marking included that we could piece together. https://antarctica.recollect.co.nz/nodes/view/30541 Edited June 6, 2019 by Drifterdon Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think adding any of the earlier MATS schemes like this will require the larger MATS markings for the wings; and things are already tight as it is. I may revisit this after I finish the C-119 design in the next few days. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Absolutely no problem Kursad. Still lots of great subjects on this sheet that I'll still have to decide which three I want to build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott Smith Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Maybe a generic sheet (separate from C-124) with early USAF markings to cover many different aircraft and scales? I have one from another mfgr from years ago. Comes in handy! But no tail bands on mine. Edited June 6, 2019 by Scott Smith Quote Link to post Share on other sites
viking73 Posted June 6, 2019 Share Posted June 6, 2019 Wow!! Looks awesome - another must have sheet Kursad! I can’t wait to get my hands on this one and your C-133 decals 😀 -Derek Quote Link to post Share on other sites
