arnobiz Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 3 hours ago, Dave Williams said: I question whether the decals are actually printed by Cartograf as the BM review says. All the decal sheet said is “Printed in Italy”. Cartograf isn’t the only decal printer in Italy, and decals done by them usually have their name on the sheets. The "c" at the end of the decal sheet number (bottom left of the sheet) identifies a Cartograf sheet in Revell taxonomy I believe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Is this kit available anywhere? (other than the RoG website) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

(other than the RoG website) It’s been available from the EU, and particularly the Netherlands, although stock didn’t last very long. Mine is out from delivery from Aviation Megastore. I think Hannants got stock recently as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDadofFour Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 Anyone with contacts at GasPatch to know when they plan to complete tooling and release of the “Hypersonic” designed SR-71A? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gwen Phoenix Posted August 23, 2022 Share Posted August 23, 2022 Bought some goodies from Mr Kubiac in early May, and he said the kit is due for 2023, hopefully. Hopefully... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeDadofFour Posted August 19, 2023 Share Posted August 19, 2023 Anyone hear about Gaspatch release plans for the SR-71A designed by Jeffrey Kubiak? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

A lot of very time consuming work taking place, which is "cutting" all the tiny trenches and holes into the surfaces to get the panel lines and rivets. It's a big airframe and there are a lot of panels...and we also utilise different sizes and types of rivets. Doing the research and identify all the various panel locations and deciding which rivets to represent or not was one part, but creating the 3D recesses (all taking into account the extraction direction of each part in the mould) is another big job that's been ongoing for a few months, but it's well advanced by now.

FlyAndFight Posted August 24, 2023 Share Posted August 24, 2023 I've managed to pass on the Revell one, as well. Waiting for this one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
