Niels Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Oooh, looking forward to June release and Dark Viper 5 🤩 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hemspilot Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Any sneak preview on the RF-8 subjects? There is one particular one that I am waiting for and I'd rather get it from you even though is available from another (foreign though) brand. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Specter1075 Posted April 5, 2024 Share Posted April 5, 2024 Is there a thread for Dark Vipers V? I'd like to keep an eye on what schemes are being considered, but I cant seem to find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
sideshow Posted April 11, 2024 Share Posted April 11, 2024 Yes! P-3! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I would really love to see a VW-4 WP-3A, a NOAA WP-3D and a USCS/BP P-3 AEW. Not to mention several foreign P-3s that have not been done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gator52 Posted April 12, 2024 Share Posted April 12, 2024 Is KC-10 a straight reprint, or is there an appetite for revision? Thinking Desert Storm-era Shamu jets with nose art- Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Very nice indeed! Dark Vipers V design is pretty much set in stone right now - but this will be on the 1/72 scale Dark Vipers 3 coming very soon, and eventually on a Dark Vipers 6. The KC-10 reprint is what it is : a straight reprint, sorry. I am hoping there will be an injection molded KC-10 sometime in the future, at which point I will do a brand new sheet.

hemspilot Posted April 13, 2024 Share Posted April 13, 2024 Is 72023 ANG F-4C/D going to be slightly revised with the addition of the Michigan ANG attractive nose art? At least some of them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

An injection molded KC-10A? There is the AMP kit - There washttps://www.scalemates.com/kits/amp-144004-mcdonnell-douglas-kc-10-extender--1218589. If you mean 1/72 I can only dream. There are the Transport Wings vac and Anigrand resin kits, and Titan Models is talking about a new vac. I have 20 years as a KC-10 flight engineer with lots reference materials should you decide to go forward. I would love to see a "tri-jet" for some non airliner subjects inc. KC-10s and RAF Tristars. There was single KC-10 white-top with a shark mouth. THAT would be awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TomTheCat Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Revell has/had a 1/144 DC-10 / KC-10. I have the bundle with the F-15 According to Scalemates, new tool in 1972, the last release was in 1999. No idea about availability of the various releases though.

fessSto Posted April 14, 2024 Share Posted April 14, 2024 Love to see these coming out. Any chance of getting CD72053 A-1E/AD-5 Skyraider reprinted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, built that kit years ago for a squadron-mate. Looks like an airplane on acid, some really weird shapes. Apparently the windshield area is hard to capture. The Hasegawa 1/200 KC-10A is actually very good with one odd exception, the wings' bending(?) angles. One wing appears to be under load, as if in flight. The other appears without load, as if resting on the ground. Otherwise very good, They even caught the fact that the KC-10 has only two A/C Packs and therefore two heat exchanger inlets/outlets, unlike the DC-10. Of course, Kursad does not do 1/200 scale (sad face here). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jetdog Posted April 17, 2024 Share Posted April 17, 2024 Any chance we can get a preview of the RF-8 sheet? (Need to know how many more kits to get) Also anxiously awaiting the 1/144 B-47 release- what is the status on that one? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dutch Posted May 5, 2024 Share Posted May 5, 2024 @KursadA, Question. Will sheet CD72111 Dark Varks include the RAM panels as well? I don't think they were included in CD72134 FB-111A "SIOP" sheet. K/r, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 6, 2024 Author Share Posted May 6, 2024 It is a straightforward scaledown of the original product - so, no RAM panels I am afraid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keroburner89 Posted May 12, 2024 Share Posted May 12, 2024 Looking forward to seeing those dark Vipers! Say, any chance of VFC-13's Atari jet squeezing into the mix? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
