KursadA Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I am finally done thinking about this, and came to the conclusion that it will be a viable product to expand my 1/72 product line. It will be a limited run printed by Microscale. I will try and include a licenced reprint of the Fine Scale Modeler article on correcting the Italeri 1/72 T-45 kit, many copies of which are no doubt languishing in stashes. More 1/72 subjects will be coming in the next few months as I scale down some of my 1/48 artwork. Edited December 9, 2014 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Flyboyf18 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 GREAT!!!! Now to dig out the kits & get working on the conversions so they are ready for decals!! Can you tell us how many birds will be on the sheet, I have 5 kits..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ziggyfoos Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If you need more references to update your existing art you may want to check out my page listed in my signature for T-45 photos. I can also help out with info from the markings manual that has among other things all the stencils, dimensions (including the tail codes), and even the cockpit placards.

Flyboyf18 Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Woohhoo!! Got to set aside some of my Xmas pennies for this sheet!!! Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 24, 2015 Author Share Posted January 24, 2015 I received the 1/72 T-45 sheets today - they will be available as part of the February batch of releases. They turned out quite well - there will only be 250 sheets available. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Flyboyf18 Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Woohoo Can we pre-order these I don't want to miss this sheet!!!?!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Johnopfor Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Yep, I'll get a sheet as well..... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 Paul Boyer already finished his T-45 kit using one of the options on the sheet; and it looks great. Most likely the first Testors/Italeri T-45 kit saved from the depths of the stash after many years: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
2qwik4u Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 KursadA, On the instruction sheet, you listed a website with reference pictures. Is that up yet? I keep getting redirected to the A-4 reference pictures page. -Dave Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 I usually set up the reference pages shortly before the decals are available at retail outlets; so I am running a bit late. You can use the reference pages for the 1/48 sheets for the time being: CD48023 reference page CD48024 reference page CD48025 reference page Quote Link to post Share on other sites

JackMan Posted March 15, 2015 Share Posted March 15, 2015 I recently received Kursad's 1/72 decals and would like to build a couple of the schemes. Not being up to date on this aircraft type, what's the best kit out there in 1/72 scale? Google tells me the Italeri kit is just their standard Hawk reboxed as a T-45. There's a lot more too here for the Meridian aircraft in general and also detail shots, including the special schemes there: http://www.flickr.com/photos/ziggyfoos/ Is there a way to save all these pics? These are great references, esp if I want to build one with the flaps down and everything else hanging out :)/> Thanks in advance Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It is not just their standard hawk kit. But that being said does not fully represent the T-45 either. It is apparently based on the t-45 prototype, and will need some changes to bring up to current spec. I found some articles in the past detailing what needs done, if I find them again I will forward them to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Once you click on a photo it brings up the "viewing" type page, down in the lower right there should be a few icons, the rightmost is white downward pointed arrow, click on that and it should give you download options for various image sizes.
