Serelle Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Hi folks, I'm looking for decals options for a US Navy E-2C in 1/72 scale. Is there anything available? Serelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Richard E Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Vince Maddeux (VMD Decals) has a set in the pipeline at the moment - he posted some images of the artwork a couple of months ago. Other than that there are some OOP Microscale sheets. HTH Quote Link to post Share on other sites
madmike Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 The Heller E-2C is a popular kit at the moment! I am interested in Vince's decals but in the meantime managed to find some Fujimi ones as a back up. MikeJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serelle Posted August 12, 2006 Author Share Posted August 12, 2006 Thank you guys!! Will search for Vince's or any other Microscale sheet available. I've got a second-hand Fujimi E-2CJ but it came only with Japanese decals. Got it for a good price, I couldn't miss that bargain, but US Navy birds are my favorites!

CraigSargent Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 I know you said US Navy, but there is also the very nice sheet from Sky Decals for an IAF/DF E-2C... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Serelle Posted August 13, 2006 Author Share Posted August 13, 2006 I know that Craig, and this sheet is actually the only one easily available at the main web stores. But I'm a big fan of US carrier-based aircraft and this Hawkeye will follow this! Thanks Serelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
atckyrre Posted August 13, 2006 Share Posted August 13, 2006 (edited) I believe Carpena did a sheet with various Forrestal machines, including two rather bland Hawkeyes (IIRC). Could be available from various European sites. Edit: Checked decals 221 and 222 from Carpena and it appears I was wrong. Though I thought I was right... :) K Edited August 13, 2006 by atckyrre Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MHaz Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Hey Vince, You might want to spell check the carrier names - Lincoln and Constellation have typo's in them. Lookin' great! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Vince would you have a postage amount to Australia at all? Mike, I cover the shipping to anywhere,so youu don't need to worry about it You might want to spell check the carrier names - Lincoln and Constellation have typo's in them. Yes, I do know about the typos in the jpeg. I fixed them before I sent the artwork out for printing. I never updated the image with the typos, you never know someone might want to copy my artwork. At least tey'll have to work to do so. I'm going to have 150 copies printed, so get them while you can. Thanks Vince Edited August 14, 2006 by Vince Maddux Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lodni_k Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 Very nice, Vince!! Will the production sheets include markings for the top of the radome?? I've had the Heller E-2 kit for some time but have been searching for VAW-115 markings. I'm trying to build a kit from each of the CVW-5 squadrons while I was in Atsugi, Japan.
