KursadA Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 (edited) No need for intricate masking for the tail serial numbers - these numbers have the appropriate silver or FS16473 background. Edited May 18, 2020 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Gorgeous sheet. How soon until you release the 1/72 version? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 Niiiiiice! Been waiting for this one 😁 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 18, 2020 Author Share Posted May 18, 2020 The 1/72 version will have a couple Vietnam War options (RB-57 Patricia Lynn, B-57G etc.) - I will assign a product number and announce it shortly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will buy 2 sets then. K/r, Dutch FWIW, when I made my pods for my 1/72 build (still in progress) I made three...and sent the third just today to someone who *might* produce them....I made them according to actual dimensions supplied to me, then recalculated for 1/72, but we'll see if it makes the grade....

thegoodsgt Posted May 19, 2020 Share Posted May 19, 2020 Kursad, when you scale the sheet down to 1/72, please consider printing the tail serial numbers twice, one with the silver or FS16473 background and one without. With so much color variation from one paint manufacturer to the next, I'm always paranoid about colors not matching. I don't mind a bit of masking to get it right. Looking forward to this sheet!

I will include a couple of Vietnam B-57B's (including 888, the first US jet bomber to deploy bombs in anger), perhaps a B-57G or a Patricia Lynn, postwar jets from VT and 17th DSES, maybe a target tug and the 363TRW Shaw AFB RB-57A suggested by Spruemeister. I thought you were going to include 888? Will that be on another sheet? Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cameron It was not possible to fit everything I wanted on one sheet - there will be a Vietnam War B-57 sheet later with 888 on it, as well as RB-57Es, B-57Gs and so on.

Corey Posted June 13, 2020 Share Posted June 13, 2020 A second B-57 sheet! Fantastic! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steven H. McLain Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 May I suggest the following Martin B-57B Canberra decal scheme? In Warpaint #45 B-57 Canberra. On pages 8 and 11, I saw a profile and photos of the "Black Knights" display team based in Laon France from the 38th TBG. The B-57Bs were in gloss black with orange scallops on tail, nose, stabilizers and wings. I thought they were cool if you want to see them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DET1460 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 KursadA Looking forward to the 72 Vietnam sheet. Crewed the RB-57E's at Tan Son Nhut. Big B-57 fan! I'll take 3 sheets. Got lots of Italeri 57's to build. Thank you for producing such great sheets. It IS appreciated. DET1460 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Will there be black belly SEA camo aircraft on that sheet? (like 53-3840 above?) Wasn't the B-57 the first official USAF aircraft to drop bombs in the Vietnam war? Does anyone know what unit that was? I'm assuming silver and no camo aircraft at that time. I always thought these were really good looking aircraft in any scheme (except for the -G) Edited July 16, 2020 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 B-57Bs of the 8th Bomb Squadron out of Tan Son Nhut, (or was it Cam Ranh Bay?), were the first to drop bombs in Vietnam. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 Thanks Dutch! Quickly looking it up, that squadron has a long and interesting history: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/8th_Special_Operations_Squadron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cameron Lynch Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Any developments on the 1/48 Vietnam B-57 sheet? Keen on 888. Cameron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
