KursadA Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 (edited) Social media posts from the last few days confirm that the 60th year special scheme for the Patrouille de France is now finalized and is being painted on all airframes. I had already drawn the design when the first photos of the trials showed up on the Web a couple months ago; so it is time to announce my Patrouille de France Alpha Jet decal sheet. This sheet will be the first in a series of world aerobatics teams decals, hence the new serial number (CDAT7201). These will be very comprehensive sets with multiple sheets and pre-cut vinyl masks as necessary. My current plan is to sell these decals directly only, i.e. they will only be available from my Web site. I plan to release a new aerobatics team every few months. My Patrouille de France sheet will feature enough general markings for two airframes, crew names and airplane serials for the 2013 season, and a full set of alphabet and digits so you can make up any PAF aircraft from the seasons past. My initial plan was to have the 60th year markings only, but seeing the great special schemes worn by PAF aircraft in the last 20 years changed my mind. So, this sheet will cover all Patrouille de France special tail decorations applied in the last 20 years! Getting all of these right took a couple months of work, but I think you will like the results. These are: -60 years scheme, 2013 -75 years of the French Air Force, 2009 -55 years scheme, 2008 -50 years scheme, 2003 -EU presidency scheme -50th year of VE Day, 1995 -40 years scheme, 1993 I will post the final layout next week. The 1/72nd sheet will be sized for the Heller/Revell kits and be available in summer; and the 1/48 sheet will be ready when the Kinetic Alpha Jet is finally released.

Paolo Maglio Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 Nice, hope you will also cover Frecce Tricolori MB.339PAN since the decals in the FREM kit are really bad! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niki4703 Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) Hello! What would be the status of these by now, please? :) I'm off in a couple of weeks to the Airpower 2013 in Zeltweg (Austria), looking forward to see the Patrouille de France for the first time live and rushing then home and start my Heller kit. Cheers! P.S.: ...and something to get you guys all in the mood for the "Bleus" :D Edited June 3, 2013 by niki4703 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 3, 2013 Author Share Posted June 3, 2013 It's been delayed a little as I was waiting for a few photos from the Salon to finalize the list of correct serial numbers in the 2013 lineup. The sheet is mostly complete and I will send it to be printed soon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 11, 2014 Author Share Posted December 11, 2014 Here is a very nice build from Modellversium.de - considering how well this sheet sold, I was wondering why it was taking so long to see any built-up models. http://www.modellversium.de/galerie/8-flugzeuge-modern/11550-dassault-breguet-dornier-alpha-jet-.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
