KursadA Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 (edited) The 1/72 versions of the SR-71 sheets will be available in mid-August, after I come back from vacation. They are directly scaled down from the 1/48 sheets, with a couple differences: all the stencils used for both sheets are on a single sheet, which will also be available separately (only 200 pcs though). And the late USAF / NASA SR-71 sheet has markings for the LASRE aerospike. Edited July 11, 2019 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 11, 2019 Author Share Posted July 11, 2019 I will post the images of the common stencilling sheet tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
achterkirch Posted July 11, 2019 Share Posted July 11, 2019 Well looks like I need to get kit or two! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomTheCat Posted July 13, 2019 Share Posted July 13, 2019 How many aircraft do I get out of one "stencil sheet"? Only one, two (early / late), or even more? It would be a shame to let all those individual markings go to waste. So if I'd like to build, say, four SR's, how many stencil sheets would I have to get? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is one set of walkways, one set of national insignia (late period SR-71s did not have national insignia except one option on the sheet) and one full set each of early/late markings on the stencil sheet.

Tomcat Trebor Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Any pics of the stencil sheet and will It be available when the sheets are available. Regards Robert Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I didn’t see the seperate stencil sheet mentioned with the September releases. When will it be available ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted September 3, 2019 Author Share Posted September 3, 2019 (edited) I still have not made up my mind about the stencilling sheets - they cost more than I expected and I need to figure out an appropriate price point. I have the decals (only 200 of them) , but will not sell them separately just yet. But when I do, it is highly likely that they will be only available directly from me. I will update the thread as soon as things are more clear. Edited September 3, 2019 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 How about offering 200 “combo” sets of your YF/SR sheets with double stencil sheets for an appropriately higher price? People who want to buy the extra stencil sheet will presumably buy the regular/full YF/SR sheet anyway, (I know I would) and you wouldn’t have to incur the expenses of printing extra instruction sheets or bag/package/ship the seperate stencils sheets... just spit ballin’ here...

dylan Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I am unclear on this. does this mean that the SR-71 sheets will not come with the stencil sheets? or does it mean that you have 200 extra Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have an extra 200 stencilling sheets that I intended to sell separately. I hope this clarifies it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dylan Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 got it thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomTheCat Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 I already indicated my interest in the spare stencil sheets above. So +1 to what habu2 said. I'll buy two stencil sheets to go with the full sets no matter what they cost 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted September 4, 2019 Author Share Posted September 4, 2019 I think I will go with habu2's idea - I should have the product pages up sometime this weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 Thank you Sir and I will be (one of) the first to pre-order a pair of “combo sets”. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted October 4, 2019 Author Share Posted October 4, 2019 I just added PayPal buttons for CD72088X and CD72089X, which will include 2 stencil sheets along with the main markings sheet. Sorry about the wait - things have been very hectic over the last few weeks. CD72088X and CD72089X are limited to 100 copies each, and will only be available direct from the Caracal web site. Thanks!
