Furball Aero-Design 1/72 Lo Viz Devil Dog Scooters

[Dutch]

Did Furball Aero-Design ever release a 1/72 Lo Viz Devil Dog decal sheet? I can find no mention of it anywhere except on SCM. Just curious, as I would love to build several of the schemes depicted.  

Kind regards,

Hi Dutch,

 

Yes, Furball did indeed release 72-003 - I have a copy in my stash 🙂 It has the same subjects as the 1/48th version. I believe that it was one of Geoff's fastest selling 1/72nd sheets, which is interesting considering the Fujimi Skyhawks were rather rare at the time.

 

If you can't track down a copy, the VMA-214 A-4M 160030 WE/01 is also one of the subjects in the recent Hobby 2000 reboxing of the Fujimi A-4M #72017 and two of the OA-4Ms, 154638 WA/01 of H&MS-12 and 154628 DA/04 of H&MS-32, are in the #72018 kit. Note that 154638 has a couple of differences - the Samurai and squadron identifier are white in the kit but grey on the Furball sheet. The A-4M seems to be sold out but the OA-4M looks to be still available.

 

HTH,

So there's a decal sheet that sold out so quickly it was difficult to verify its existence.

 

And the suggested alternative for some of the subjects it included is a re-boxed kit that is now also sold out.

 

What scale was this again? 🤔

Yeah, NOBODY buys 1/72 scale stuff! 🤣

But....But....But....1/72 scale is dead, no one builds 1/72 scale anymore!!!

 

BTW, Dutch, I have an extra set of that sheet if you want it, just PM me your address.
