KursadA Posted July 2, 2022 Share Posted July 2, 2022 CD144026 will be a 1/144 version of the 1/72 scale RC/WC-135 sheet I released a while ago - it will be expanded with a couple more current USAF and RAF RC-135 markings to increase the number of options directly suitable for the new Roden kit.

Drifterdon Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 (edited) If I can make one request and recommendation. Include a windshield decal that is designed for the Roden kit. Also, if you can include a red outline for the windshield that would be excellent. I have already started on this kit so can't wait for the decals to be released.

Kursad, If you want, I will mail you my spare Roden canopy to you so you can check your measurements, but yes, it is different. V/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Roden and MInicraft windshields are very different in shape and size. I'll take one of the windshield decals from one of my 144004 sheets and give it a test to see how it looks.

Kursad, I went ahead and used one of the silver backing windshield decals on the Roden windshield part. It's hard to see as I just used my phone to take the pic but the Roden windshield is much larger than the decal in the 144004 sheet. It could work but you'd need to fill in the windows and get rid of the molded in framing like I did with the Minicraft nose section in the second pic. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) This sheet will be coming in September - I need to finalize color choices and add some tweaks, but I would like to send it to be printed in the next couple of days so this design is pretty much final.

KursadA Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 I am also reprinting 144004 so you can stock up for other C-135 family projects and multiple options from this sheet. 72070 coming at the same time too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) When it rains, it pours! Thank you Kursad. Hmmm, I wonder if Roden will release a RC-135U? Edited July 12, 2022 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dutch Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Kursad, can you fit in a second set of yellow fuselage exits to go along with the other yellow crew entry door? K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 (edited) I guess I can, but the second entry door is not an extra, it is of the sharp-corner variety seen on some RC-135. I can add a second set of doors but it may give the impression that I have two full sets of stencils on the sheet while I certainly don’t. 144004 has all sorts of exit door decals.

Yes, I saw that too. And you do offer one set of yellow, red & black door outlines on 144004. There is so much potential on the sheet to make multiple subjects, that I thought an extra set of door outlines wouldn't hurt. I don't think it will hurt sales of a reprinted 144004, plus it might boost sales of 144026. I don't know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim Barr Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Any time frame on the release of 144009 KC-135A / E? Thanks Jim Barr Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted July 14, 2022 Author Share Posted July 14, 2022 I have limited time to work today and will make an effort to add the door outlines and renumber. 144009 is in the works and I expect to release it before the end of the year - in the October/November timeframe.
