I know that I'm tilting at windmills here, but I'd love to see reprints of the 1/144 C-5 Galaxy sheets and the 1/144 C-133 Cargomaster sheet.  I've had an alert on ebay for them for almost two years (maybe a little longer) and have NEVER seen one come up.  Even the really obscure retailers don't have any.  They are unobtanium.  Keep up the great work.

PS any word on that 1/144 B-58 Hustler sheet?

Here’s my patented Caracal Decal Rule on buying his sheets.  If I have the mildest interest in the subject, I buy it.  Even if I don’t have the kit.  I figure, sooner or later, I can get the kit.  
 

Whether it’s the newest Clear Prop 1/72 Suggs XF-120B Wonderjet or the Revell 1961 Convair 990, eventually 94.7% of injection molded kits get re-issued.

 

Decals?  Not so much.  I’ve been burned in the past by thinking, “That’s an interesting subject, I should order a sheet.”  And then kicking myself.

My problem tends to be that I don't see the decals until after they're discontinued and them I'm stuck trying to do what I've been doing lol

I have a different take on buying decal sheets. Sure I buy sheets for builds I’m interested in, but I also see well researched sheets as a type of reference material all on their own.  A snapshot, if you will, that captures and documents the markings of a subject in a way pictures in a book alone can’t. Even if I never actually cut up a sheet and apply the decals to a kit, the sheet represents a bit of history for me. 
 

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.  🙈

I hope the OP doesn't mind if I add another request for a reprint.  I'm sure my request HAS to be one that others have asked for many times in the past, but here's another one:  What a reprint of any 1/48 F-15C Lakenheath Eagle sheets?

Ditto about the C-133 sheet, I posted it in the actual C-133 thread as well. I was not aware that it had been out, and out of stock, for so long already. In my mind, the C-133 kit itself seemed like a " just released" kit so it didn't even cross my mind that the decals might be unavailable already...

I was not aware that Roden re-released the kit with the ICBM added until recently - now that the kit seems to be available again a reprint makes sense; so I will schedule this in the next 2-3 months.
