Drifterdon Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Got mine as well. What an amazing sheet. Each of these are works of art. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie D. Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Got mine today (along with the B-26K sheet) amazing stuff! Worth the wait. These are my 39th and 40th Caracal sheets! More than anyone else in my decal stash. Keep them coming! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted February 23 Author Share Posted February 23 I am glad you liked these - a lot of time and effort went into the design of this sheet, and I hope I was able to design a decal sheet that befits the importance of this type in our country's aviation history. Sorry about the delay - I just did not want to ship this sheet with an instruction sheet with four upside-down pages and had to wait for the reprint. Now who is going to build the first one?

Gator52 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Phenomenal sheets, thank you for producing these! I'm tempted to put everything else aside and dive in... Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Spruemeister Posted February 28 Share Posted February 28 (edited) Why does “Petty Girl” have the triangle J of the 7th BG, and the unit insignia of the 11th BG? The single photo I see published shows the right side with no unit insignia. Both the 7th and 11th were at Carswell, so was this an inter unit transfer that wore both markings for a while? Was it one of the mashups post tornado? Rick L. Edited March 2 by Spruemeister Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron Lynch Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Probably one of the most spectacular sheets I've seen in awhile. Even if you don't love the Peacemaker...this is a must have sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stefan buysse Posted March 14 Share Posted March 14 (edited) Hi, My B-36 sheets arrived safely and they're beautiful. I had been postponing the purchase of the Roden B-36. Now that Russia invaded Ukraine, I bought a couple before they became even rarer than the Hobbycraft ones. The Roden B-36B does not include the jet engines and only has the props with rounded tips. The Roden B-36D/F/H/J has both types of prop and the sprue with the jet engines is in there twice! So, if you have both kits, you could build two B-36's with the jet engines. I'm not too sure about which type of prop was used at what time. I know that the the ones with the rounded tips are the earlier ones. The Roden instructions have you install the rounded ones on the B-36D and the square ones on the B-36F, H and J. Were the rounded ones ever replaced on airframes that were built with them? Among all the sad news coming out of Ukraine was this today: Mr Valeriy Grigorenko was killed near his home on the 4th of March. He was an artist who painted box-art for Roden. I'm not sure if he was the only one painting box-art for Roden, I don't see a signature. I liked many of the Roden box-arts, the B-36's are quite nice. I especially like the Northern Lights on the B-36B box-art. Mr Grigorenko's last work was said to be the box-art for the Roden RC-135. I have only seen it in black and white. Stefan.😢 Edited March 16 by Stefan buysse Hobbycraft, not Minicraft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 I love Roden's boxart! One of my faves is the Curtiss H-16 (Felixstowe) doing a pylon turn around the Chrysler Building! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 (edited) Roden is releasing #348 NB-36H Crusader, now available on line. Edited May 12 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted May 12 Share Posted May 12 Good intel Dutch, thanks. I’ll get one of those. Wonder if Roden might go after the YB-60 & XC-99? Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
