Drifterdon Posted March 26, 2023 Share Posted March 26, 2023 I know Two Bobs did a decal sheet of VMFT-401 Snipers F-5 in 1/48 but I believe it was their earlier markings. Is anyone aware of any decals in 1/48 of their current markings? I would love to build a Sniper F-5N like the photo Jeff Stoermer (STORM) has at the bottom of his profile. Or here from wikipedia. 170125-M-PL134-005.jpg (3817×2147) (wikimedia.org) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Their current XO, LtCol Webb, is a modeler and hooked me up with everything I could possibly need. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted March 27, 2023 Author Share Posted March 27, 2023 Will these be available to public or just for the nationals? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's going to be a normal decal release, just out before the nationals, which was only used as a time frame reference. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted March 27, 2023 Share Posted March 27, 2023 (edited) Great to hear. With the Snipers acquiring some former VFC-13 birds, their schemes have expanded a bit. Glad we'll see a new sheet soon. -Jeff EDIT. Is there any early info on what VMFT-402 will look like? Edited March 27, 2023 by ST0RM Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hello Dave. Any update on this sheet? I know you said that you had planned to have it out just before nats but was wondering if you've made any progress on it. I didn't see it on your website.

Honestly, got sidetracked with Hornet stuff. I'll get back to the 401 sheet as soon as I can. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted December 7, 2023 Author Share Posted December 7, 2023 Curious if there has been any movement on this or if anyone else might be working on them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Drifterdon Posted March 21 Author Share Posted March 21 Anyone know what the colors are on this Sniper F-5 are? And is there a camoflage pattern anywhere that I can use. I think I can probably kluge together markings from a couple Two Bobs decal sheets but I'm not sure of the colors used and camo pattern. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Roof Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Colors are 36495, 36375 and 35237 Sorry, can't share the pattern documents I have. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
