fulcrum Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 OK this is an attempt to encourage Hobby Decal to release the precious Decal transfers for Kuwaiti Hornets. I really love the 3 tone camo on this bug and i think some of us need 1/32 Decals for our Academy F/A-18C's and D's. ;) photo: Sgt. W. A. Napper Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 What is it the other manufacturers say? "We need references." Does anyone have detailed walkarounds of Kuwaiti Hornets? Personally I'd love to see them in 1/48 as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hobbydecal Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Hmmmmm, I suppose I could send all of the references I received from the McDonell Douglas Kuwaiti Program Manager to Kim. Quite honestly, I'll never get around to doing these markings in 1/32 scale (even as much as I would love to), so off the references go. Kim, keep an eye out for a larger package than I had planned to send! Dave You are the Main Researcher of HD!! :lol: From Kim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The Kuwaiti decals were released years ago by Hi Decal Line ("Diego"-here on ARC- is the guy behind the Hi-Decal Line, so you can PM him) ...I have one set in 1/48, and they are very nice.... perhaps you could try to persuade Diego to release these decals in 1/32...the arwork does definitely exists ...Exotic Hornets could be very interesting decal sheet... -Kuwait -Malaysia -Spanish "aggressor" (the former U.S. bird in desert "miG-29" camo) -some canadian special scheme -"digital hornet" ...hint, hint :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The main artwork may be to draw and layout of full data stencils and panel numbers (of course I wish Dave also help these). The other thing is our dry decal is differ from general water sliding decal methods. I cannot draw the digital hornet Thank you for your hints From Kim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'd be in for aset in 1/32! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hobbydecal Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I'd be in for aset in 1/32! When to be printed 1/32 and 1/48 is the basic scales. From Kim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
David Walker Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 Great news! Thanks. (particularly the 1/48 release) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jay Kim Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 I'm in for Hobbydecal 1/32 Kuwaiti F/A-16Cs. However long a line would be, it is okay. Cannot understand why Kim promotes Hi-Decal for F/A-18C. Why?Why? Why? Then make new selection with Spanish and Malaysian F/A-18s soon. Move on, guys!!! :P Jay K. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Youngtiger1 Posted August 16, 2006 Share Posted August 16, 2006 I have the old Tigerwing decal sheet that covers Chippy ho l that also has the marking for Kuwaiti F-18 but the instruction are not clear on what color scheme the hornet is. So, yes, the 1/32 Kuwaiti Hornet have pretty straight forward marking. Just a matter of getting them right color. I hope you will come out of these soon. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
