Specter1075 Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 (edited) You'll get two sales from me. Can't wait for both sheets! Will go along nicely with my planned EF-111 and FB-111 builds (for which I have your sets as well.) Edited April 12, 2023 by Specter1075 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Curt Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 I am committed to an F-111F so a full sheet of Fs is even better. One more reason to NOT try and track down the old Afterburner sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Looks great, I'll buy in both 1/48 & 1/72. I'm curious though about the odd number of TAC & ACC emblems....3 each? Thanks for producing these- Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for producing these- Chris OK, good point - I think it only ended up being like this because I wanted to provide four 27TFW badges; and only 10 of these badges would fit in that row. I guess the ACC version is only applicable to 68-0159 and 68-0180 in their later, overall FS36118 scheme though? This is still a draft and I can change the design a bit.

Possibly...I don't have good photos of either of those particular jets. I think ACC emblems are appropriate for whichever jet is the 523 FS flagship, as they flew -111Ds on both sides of the TAC/ACC reorganization. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ACC wasn’t founded until June 1st 92. So any subjects that are before that would have the TAC badge. And even then they might have had the TAC after that date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MarcB Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Lovely !! Thanks for including the small sheet with rows of numbers and different low-viz insignas to allow the modeler to make any line jets...a feature I'd like to see included in other sheets. MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And even then they might have had the TAC after that date. The original version of the ACC emblem had yellow lettering, making it difficult to tell in many photos if it's a holdover TAC emblem or the early ACC emblem. I'd have to hunt for a clear photo illustrating this, but given the timeframe of the F-111D's retirement, perhaps consider taking the third TAC/ACC emblems and making those the early ACC version with yellow lettering. That would result in pairs of TAC, ACC yellow, and ACC blue, covering all possibilities. Chris Edited April 25, 2023 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 25, 2023 Author Share Posted April 25, 2023 Good idea - it will require me to renumber the elements and move things around a bit, which I was going to have to do anyway as I realized I forgot to add something. I will post a modified draft this coming weekend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) One other thought...can't quite make out the lettering on the wing emblems, but it would be good to have at least one 27 FW emblem (vice TFW) to correspond with the 522 FS & 523 FS flagship options. 27 TFW was redesignated 27 FW Oct 1, 1991, and the 522 & 523 TFS' were redesignated FS on Nov 1, 1991. Thanks Chris Edited April 25, 2023 by Gator52 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I am a bit concerned about having too many F-111 sheets (I have done the -A, -E, EF-111A, and two different FB-111A sheets so far!) ; but you seem to have liked what I have done so far and I hope you will buy these, too. The -D sheet will be coming first, with the -F coming soon afterwards. Sorry Kursad but...now we need an F-111B sheet as well 😛 🤪 MB Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted April 27, 2023 Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) Hmm. May I suggest a "F-111 Early Years" sheet covering the YF-111A, F-111B and FB-111A prototypes, all in the LGG/White schemes. What do you think Kursad? Edited April 27, 2023 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ghostbase Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Kursad, Are you able to post the artwork / instructions for this upcoming decal sheet yet? I have already pre-ordered it through Hannants in the UK but am just curious which colour schemes are included. Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
