Stephen Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 How about a sheet for the Sea King? I'd personally love to do the ASH-3D/H from the Italian Navy but there's also Argentina, Brazil, India, Iran, Saudi Arabia, Canada to name but a few. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AD-4N Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Yes, please in 1/72. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) A 1/72 Sea King sheet has been on my mind for a while. It is a bit premature to announce a product, but it is on my "to-do" pile for later this year or 2020. I already have Sea King drawings for my longer-term dream project of offering a complete 1980s USN air wing on a super set of 1/72 scale decals.

Stephen Posted March 25, 2019 Author Share Posted March 25, 2019 Don't forget 1/48 too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hajo L. Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 Oh yeah! A "grey" US Navy Seaking would be nice, and of course a "blue" Italian Navy Seaking. On the other hand, Italeri announced a re-box of the Fujimi 1/72 Seaking - better wait and see what decals they will offer with the kit. HAJO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ridinshotgun Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 (edited) Oh dang I just posted about modern 1/72 markings for the CH-124 over in the rotor head section. There is no one doing those markings that is not some special paint job. It would be great to have a sheet that included just normal Canadian markings for the CH-124.

Corey Posted March 26, 2019 Share Posted March 26, 2019 Oh yeah, Sh-3 in 1/48 too please! I have a stack of Hasegawa kits to decal. I like your air wing decal idea too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Not sure about 1/72, but Belcher Bits does these in 1/48 and the resin required to do the Canadian modifications. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They only have the resin remaining in 1/72. The decal sheet in 72 they had has been sold out for several years and according to them there are no plans to re-release it. Canadian specialty decal suppliers are vanishing fast and not many bright spots on the horizon. ☹️ Except Kursad of course! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Don't know if you have seen this but this new sheet in development looks like it has a Canadian Desert Storm machine coming: https://www.72news.eu/2019/03/air-graphics-desert-storm-decals-sheet.html and he is well along so no need for Kursad to look at that scheme, but others would surely be appreciated......

Nope hadn't seen that. That is also a different bird than the one Belcher had on his sheet for the Gulf War. What would be great is to have the basic stencils and then a block of numbers provided to mark up custom aircraft numbers. Belcher has done it that way on his sheets. Also the variations of the main markings. This pic shows two variations from Shearwater just before retirement: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

riffraff Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I would love to see some decals for this scheme. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted April 4, 2019 Share Posted April 4, 2019 I'd be partial to seeing this in a scale. From one of my all time favorite movies, "The Hunt For Red October." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I printed my own 'Stealth Duck' decals - along with others - a few years ago for my ongoing Sea King builds (the red outlined section indicated the markings being used on my Apollo 7 SH-3A build over on Britmodeller) I've also home-printed and used a full set of markings for a Point Mugu UH-3A - my builds completed so far can be viewed here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/profile/14104-andyf117/&tab=field_core_pfield_11 Edited April 7, 2019 by andyf117 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ridinshotgun Posted April 20, 2024 Share Posted April 20, 2024 Dragging this back to the top to see if this might have moved on or not? Have a Canadian bird I would like to build from an airfix kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
