Dutch Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 (edited) Does anyone know if IPMS Nederlands or anyone else ever issued decals for a 1/144 KLu KDC-10 for the Revell KC-10 kit? Just curious. I'd be interested in obtaining a set. R/ Dutch Edited November 24, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Not that I am aware of. I know Hasegawa has done them in 1/200 but no 1/144. Was hoping Caracal would include them on the KC-10 sheet but that didn't happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 Lex, Bedankt voor het antwoord. Other than USAF, only the KLu & Omega operate KDC-10 tankers, so it is highly unlikely that Caracal or any other major decal manufacturer would release them. I thought that perhaps Revell GMBH would have included them in a release of the kit, but apparently it only released it once. I also thought that perhaps IMPS Nederlands would have released a set. So it will have to be self designed and printed for now. Alle beste wensen, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lex Posted March 7, 2019 Share Posted March 7, 2019 You are welcome. Revell released it more than once but both of the releases had USAF markings (one white top and one all grey). Not sure if it works but would scaling up the hasegawa decals work? Downside is that those decals were for the white scheme and not the 2 tones grey scheme they fly in nowadays.

Dutch Posted March 11, 2019 Author Share Posted March 11, 2019 Lex, Can you send me a med-hi res (300-600dpi) scan of the Hasegawa white top KLu decals please? I will see what I can do. My email: vertol-107 [at] hotmail [dot] com R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted May 21, 2019 Author Share Posted May 21, 2019 (edited) Lex, Have you seen that MikroMir has announced a 1/144 KC-10? No word on delivery date yet. I imagine that the parts breakdown will be very similar to their MD-11 kit. One can only hope that they will also include KLu KDC-10 decals along with the USAF decals.

Dutch Posted September 17, 2019 Author Share Posted September 17, 2019 Lex, I have purchased the Flevo Decals set 144-001 for the C-130H/C-130H-30. I will see if I can modify it to fit the MikroMir KC-10 when released. R/ Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted September 23, 2019 Author Share Posted September 23, 2019 (edited) On second thought, too much effort. I could cobble together the serial and maybe use the KLu titles, but I still have to source a lot of other decals. So, I will use the Flevo decals on a C-130H-30 and hope that MikroMir/AMP includes KLu decals along with the KC-10 decals. Edited February 12, 2021 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 22, 2019 Author Share Posted November 22, 2019 (edited) Wonderful news! MikroMir/AMP have included KLu KDC-10 decals in their KC-10 boxing! Ooorah! The kit is set to be released in January 2020. I can't wait! No plastic test shots yet, but the decals and artwork are included in this link from Hobby Search Japan. This kit comes with Eastern Express DC-10-30, a micro-mill new injection parts aerial refueling boom and 7 types of decals (2 types of US Air Force high-vis, 3 types of US Air Force low-vis, 2 types of Dutch Air Force). -Since the aerial refueling boom can be selected for storage and use, it can be combined with an optional 1/144 scale military aircraft model such as the company's B-2 Spirit to create a diorama during refueling. .

Thanks for the info Dutch. I was just on ebay today and it is listed but does not say not released as yet or I could not find where they say that in the listing. Price seems ok and the decal does look good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 (edited) Well, it just got released this week. I took the Jan 2020 date from the Japanese website where I first noticed the pre-orders with that date. Edited November 26, 2019 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
