Breaddy-Stack Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Hello! I’m trying to track down the bingo decals E-2C sheet with the USCG markings. I have a personal connection with one of the crew who unfortunately perished in that flight and I would like to pay tribute to them when building an E-2 kit. Any help tracking this down would be greatly appreciated. I’m not certain how rare this sheet would be to find, but if anyone is familiar with it and knows I’d also appreciate any information Thanks!

Dutch Posted December 8, 2021 Share Posted December 8, 2021 (edited) Bingo Decals 48-004, correct? Can't help, but suggest a possible alternate, if the size fits: Microscale 72-109 USCG markings. You would need to source US Stars & bars insignia, as the Bingo version is incorrect. Edited December 8, 2021 by Dutch add link Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I haven’t done enough research into microscale’s USCG decals but I could look into building a Hasegawa E-2! Do you have this sheet for sale? Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted December 9, 2021 Share Posted December 9, 2021 Note: The Bingo Decals sheet depicts the USCG E-2C Hawkeye #3501 early in its use with USCG. By the time of the accident in 1990, the aircraft were in overall LGG and the nose serial had been shortened to just 501 as seen in this Photo (c) : R.E KLING in FLICKR dated April 1990.
