jmel Posted April 18, 2014 Share Posted April 18, 2014 (edited) FedEx arrived today, making a great surprise at the doorstep today! The Test Vipers include the markings for the new overall dark gray scheme, red/white clown jet, and typical two-tone gray vipers. All the sheets, including the 1/32 Phantoms, were printed by Cartograf. As usual, they did a fantastic job, recreating the intricate artwork precisely They even nailed the gradient used on the Oregon Red Hawk markings. The Oregon Phantoms didn't use the same style hawk as the modern-day F-15s, using instead the Hawk with the black gradient around the edges. These are shipping as of today!

daywalker Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jake- How many birds can one do with that Viper sheet? Curious as to how many sets of national insignias, stencils, etc are on it. Just trying to decide how many sheets to order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ST0RM Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 What 1/72, Jeff? I have nothing in 1/72 at the printers currently. I thought you said that the Viper decs would also be released in 1/72. I assumed they were in this initial batch also. My mistake. Thanks. Jeff Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCOUT712 Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 I thought you said that the Viper decs would also be released in 1/72. I assumed they were in this initial batch also. My mistake. Thanks. Jeff AND I THOUGHT THE RF-4 sheet will be release in 72 scale....hint,hint... Thanks Jake! Scout Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 19, 2014 Author Share Posted April 19, 2014 Jake- How many birds can one do with that Viper sheet? Curious as to how many sets of national insignias, stencils, etc are on it. Just trying to decide how many sheets to order. You can do two of the overall dark gray jets, and another one in the standard two-tone paint. There are three sets of stencils total, but some jets use different fonts for some stencils, so it may even be possible to do 4 jets from the sheet, depending on which options you choose. I thought you said that the Viper decs would also be released in 1/72. I assumed they were in this initial batch also. Oh, got'cha. Yes, they'll be done in 1/72, but I will size them for the new Tamiya kit, which I've yet to receive. AND I THOUGHT THE RF-4 sheet will be release in 72 scale....hint,hint... :rolleyes:/> Thanks Jake! Scout They will, my friend. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SCOUT712 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Just ordered both Phantom sheets. But you´ll have to put a free Tamiya Kit into my package. I just have one kit but like both sheets. Scout Quote Link to post Share on other sites

B-1 Nut Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 That orange/white viper is bad @$$. That is one airplane I've always wanted to do in 1/32. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted April 25, 2014 Author Share Posted April 25, 2014 That orange/white viper is bad @$$. That is one airplane I've always wanted to do in 1/32. That would look good in 1/32, wouldn't it? The problem is there is no kit for it. That jet is a bigmouth Block 30. I've built a few of them in the past few years by combining kits, but I wouldn't think many people would like to do that. There were some Block 25s in this scheme, though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
