Where'd they go?

Gregg, they are spread between 113WG 121FS, 187FW 100FS, 177FW 119FS and 149FW 182FS.
86-0262 will from what I've heard go to 149FW 182FS but when she will appear in 149FW markings  is unknown.

Pretty sure Jake put 262 on one of his last Viper sheets in VT markings....but I like 277 better...

Do you mean the Speed Hunter Graphics 1/48? That's the only one I know of.  But I do 1/72....

 

Yes, I know 1/72 doesn't sell as well, I'm good friends with a decal producer.  But some 1/72 sheets do sell okay, i.e. anything with Jolly Rogers on them....and I could be wrong, but I ^think" folks have had some success with 1/72 sheets with really nice Viper selections.  

 

Just that, for my Vermont collection, I can't believe the most modern bird in the lineup is a PW powered F-16, with no representation of their glorious GE powered ones....

It would be nice to have a new one similar to the Fox One ANG sheets.

It wouldn't give you 86-0277 in the special markings, but otherwise easy to modify the tail number to fit the block 30's they flew as the markings are the same;

No, not quite the same...the minuteman on the tail is in filled in with light gray; the Wolfpak sheet depicts much earlier when it was only a dark gray outline.  Plus on both sides of the intake are additional special markings.  Considered it already.

I think an ANG Wing Kings style sheet would sell well as there are quite a lot of 72 scale modellers around. I for one hunt through all the new 72 scale release hoping for ANG F-16 markings, especially now there have been some great special schemes lately.

Well, I can think of a decal maker or two that would disagree with that 😉

 

That's exactly the reason the late Eldred Mason of Bare Metal told me he had to quit doing ANG subject matter.  It simply didn't sell.

Fair enough, but I believe this is also related to the scale in question. 1/72 is simply not the mainstream scale for model builders, although it for sure make sense size wize
