MarcB Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Hello, Would it be OK to post here pictures of models using Caracal Decals ? MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 Sure, that will be great! Please share your work here, and I will change the name of the thread so we can have an ongoing thread for photos of models finished using Caracal sheets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 (edited) Does 90% Caracal decal usage count? I will upload my Revell 1/144 B-52G of the 34th BS, 36th WG then. All Caracal except for vertical tail and nose serial / CO's name custom printed. I have to say that the Caracal decals worked beautifully and the walkways nestled down nicely over the vortex vanes on the horizontal stabs. I puttied and sanded the Revell cockpit windows flush, and the Caracal windscreen decal fit perfectly! Edited April 28, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Revell cockpit always looked dreadful, your method of using the Caracal decals is the first 1/144 version that looks great. Well done, my man. Now if we could get some SIOP or NMF decals. Hint, hint. 😄 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted March 11, 2020 Share Posted March 11, 2020 I'm loving it! Could you all please list the kit and scale in your photo captions? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MarcB Posted March 11, 2020 Author Share Posted March 11, 2020 OK then let's roll.. It's the old Tamiya F-15A 1/48 kit with the necessary mods (original wing tips, short airbrake, straight LE tailplane), decals from CD48150 "F-15 Eagle - The Early Years" (performed flawlessly), Mr Paint Air Superiority Blue and International Orange. I used a resin seat, and detailed the kit's exhausts. I don't claim 100% accuracy but I enjoyed building the model and I quite like the result. _MG_0624 by _MG_0620 by _MG_0628 by _MG_0617 by Marc Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Wow - excellent work by everyone; I am seeing some of these for the first time! Please keep them coming. In the meantime I will copy some of these for use at the upcoming Caracal Models blog and FB pages. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Whiskey Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 @KursadA ask one of the admins to pin this thread to the top of your sub-forum and give it a proper title, Caracal Gallery or something like that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Marc Marc, I agree, the results are quite nice and you don't see too many F-15 models built in representing this aircraft. Great job, well photographed and presented!

Paul Boyer Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 I'm sure I have several, so give me some time to come up with others. For now, here is my somewhat "accurized" Italeri T-45 Goshawk with Caracal stickers: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Boyer Posted March 12, 2020 Share Posted March 12, 2020 Well, it seems that I've bought many more than I've used (and who doesn't do that?). But one more. Of course Caracal's decals on this Modelcollect B-52H: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Slartibartfast Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Man, that F-15A is the bee's knees. I remember opening my Airpower magazine back in the 1970's and seeing that colorful bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
