No, I think I am good. I am working on it from time to time.

KursadA started following 1/48 Kinetic CF-104 TuAF SEA and F-16 Dragchutes
-
I know for a fact that Turkish F-16 drag chutes are made in Turkey. There might have been a few "standard" drag chutes earlier, but I don't think there is such a thing as a worldwide standardized F-16 drag chute. There are multiple NATO stock numbers (NSN 1670-01-406-3309, NSN 1670-01-457-3562, etc.) for F-16 drag chutes, which leads me to believe that there are several designs that are manufactured by many different companies.

I am shipping them but it will take a few more days to pack and finish all. Some patience would be appreciated.

I have looked everywhere for clearer photos of these when I was designing the sheet. I don’t think another Vietnam era Skyraider sheet is in the cards, but this would have been a great addition.

Not really - you have used the correct ejection seat. By the time the CF-104s were repainted in the Turkish camouflage scheme in the early 1990s, all of the fleet had already been equipped with the MB seats that were removed from the F-104Gs that were retired earlier. There were no Turkish CF-104s still flying with the Lockheed seat after approx. 1992 or so. Excellent build!!

KursadA started following March 2024 releases

Thanks for the huge interest in this sheet - sold a bunch in the first few hours. I have already received several e-mails roasting me for erroneously calling these "NASA NF-104s", so no need to send me another one: put that keyboard away and enjoy the anticipation. 🙂 Thanks again!

Don't miss this excellent 1/72 F-105G from Britmodeller: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235137396-172-f-105g-thunderchief/

Awesome Skyshark - really unusual and cool.
-
Beautiful Rafale! It looks great in this scheme, and I really like the in-flight presentation.
-
You must be a surgeon of some sort!! Impressive work - I will be following it with interest.
-
Thanks for opening the thread before I did it - I really like how proactive our community is : ). Unfortunately my latest batch of decals I planned for February are still being printed in your beautiful country, so my March releases are what I promised for February earlier. I will soon announce the next batch of decals I will be releasing in April (if everything goes according to plan)
-
These are all in the production queue in various stages: some have been stalled because of a research gap (UH-1, P-47) or I have to work on the layout (B-57, OV-10D etc.). But I plan to release at least half of this list in 2024.

David kindly shared his excellent builds of Kinetic Starfighters. Markings from CD48202 with the exception of "Really George", which I should do on a future sheet.
