dbsmith88 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) I seem to remember that somebody did a decal sheet for a KC-135A with the 106 ARS of the Bama Air Guard for the 1/72 AMT. Am I mistaken about this? I have looked for it on the net but I can't find it anywhere. Any info would be great.

Spaced Marine Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 Was it Vince Maddux? That sounds like one of his projects. You know, one of the 135's in B'ham has a blue tail band with AUBURN in orange, rather than the red and white Alabama. That'd make a great build. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I thought it was Vince, but I can't find anything on them. I've heard rumors about that AU bird for awhile now. I was watching one of the B'ham boys doing combat approach touch-and-goes up in Huntsville this afternoon. I was sitting about a half mile up from the runway and he was coming in right over my head. It was great. I would give anything for a really good walk-around of the AU -135 so I could get a custom set done. Only prob is I have the -135A, not the -135R. I think it can be converted to an E, just haven't really checked references for it. WAR EAGLE, BABY!!! Edited March 1, 2006 by dbsmith88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spaced Marine Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I saw the Auburn bird last month during our IPMS meeting. It really made me want a KC-135 kit. On a funnier note, I can see someone over seas seeing this bird, and wondering aloud: "Where is the state of Auburn, and what other planes do they fly?" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vince Maddux Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 YUP! It was me! Bad news is that I can't make them anymore since the ALPS printer burned up But I have seen the Arburn one and I'm thinking of revising the AL ANG -135R sheet and haveing it screen printed.

Bad news is that I can't make them anymore since the ALPS printer burned up :( But I have seen the Arburn one and I'm thinking of revising the AL ANG -135R sheet and haveing it screen printed. Vince OK, Vince..... You've forced me into doing something I don't really want to do....... Please!!! Oh, please!!! For the love of all that's holy, do those 2 birds in 1/72nd, esp. the Auburn -135! You want me to beg? OK, I'm begging you......please .....oh, please! It's a shame what you can bring a grown man to do for love. Regards, Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vince Maddux Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 OK,OK. I will, but its going to be three of four sheets down the pipeline. screen printing can be expansvie so I have to make sure i can put a decal sheet togeather I now will sell. BTW, you got a tail number on the Auburn plane, I didn't get a chance to catch it when I saw it. maybe when I go to B'ham on the 9th I can get it again. Vince hang in there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dbsmith88 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 (edited) Vince, I don't have the tail number. I've never even seen the plane, just heard rumors that one is down there. William, do you have any info on this? BTW, bless you, Vince!! I'm in for a couple of sheets. WAR EAGLE, BABY!! Brian Edited March 1, 2006 by dbsmith88 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dbsmith88 Posted March 1, 2006 Author Share Posted March 1, 2006 Oooorrrrrrr........ If you don't want to make the jump to a production run, what are the chances of a custom set for both of those birds, Vince? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
