aircal62 Posted January 15 Share Posted January 15 I'd better not linger on buying this sheet, it's going to sell out fast! Lots of great birds on this. Lots of Orange and lots of DayGlo Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 I'm about due for a new welding helmet, so I'll go ahead an order these. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Seaknight Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Very nice Decals. Must get a copy too. We just need a new NF-104 Conversion for the 1/48 Kinetic or Hasegawa Kit, as the Model Art or Cutting Edge sets are long OOP and rare to find or very expensive on "evilbay"😬 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 (edited) @JeffreyK Jeffrey, will you just make 1/48 scale NF-104A conversions, or 1/72 scale also? Kind regards, Dutch Edited January 16 by Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JeffreyK Posted January 16 Share Posted January 16 Hi mate, no, I have no plans for 1:72. Sorry! J Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 16 Author Share Posted January 16 This sheet was developed with invaluable help from Jeffrey and the web page/instructions will suggest the use of the Hypersonic set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Badly needed! Already developed and tested and nearly ready to go. Comprises of C-1 seat (with belts, netting and hoses), aft cockpit bulkhead and rails, turtledeck front face, aft canopy support brace, early control stick/grip and a completely new de-mister tubing part. Plus all the other parts from my A (late) set. The new de-mister tubing made it necessary to develop a new canopy as two of the large mounting recesses in the kit canopy would be unused and look very ugly. This has delayed the set considerably. I now have a first batch of clear cast canopies on the way to me so hopefully I can release the set by March. More resin sets related to this fantastic decal sheet are in development as well 🙂 Jeffrey Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted March 7 Author Share Posted March 7 (edited) Thanks for the huge interest in this sheet - sold a bunch in the first few hours. I have already received several e-mails roasting me for erroneously calling these "NASA NF-104s", so no need to send me another one: put that keyboard away and enjoy the anticipation. 🙂 Thanks again!

She has the ARDC badge on the nose and the Edwards badge on the tail wedge. The name "Slosher" is seen in white. Again, notice the grills on the inside of the intakes. She had a pretty bad ground run accident later in 1958 and was rebuilt at Lockheed Palmdale. My guess is that she received the "Slosher No. II" moniker after this photo and before the 1959 barrier accident noted above. Very interesting shot Dutch, one of the first I've seen that is a relatively good shot of the B-2, or C seat... - Brayn Edited March 9 by BWDenver Quote Link to post Share on other sites
