KursadA Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 (edited) CD144001 will be the first 1/144 sheet from Caracal Models - it will feature markings for the KC-135R. I have been working on a 1/72 sheet for the KC-135R for a while, but decided to prioritize the 1/144 sheet in the face of market dynamics. I intend to expand my 1/144 line in the future. My subjects in this scale will be mostly larger aircraft like transports and bombers. Edited October 14, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
texasraider Posted November 7, 2014 Share Posted November 7, 2014 Great news Kursad!!!...Along with the KC-135 series would love to see some sheets in this scale for some ANG C-130s. as well!!!!....Thanks Marshall Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trash hauler Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Kursad, That is Outstanding news ! Especially if there might be more for us "Smurf" modelers. Obviously there are plenty of subjects...C-130's (All kinds and colors) C-17's, C-135's, B-52's, B-1's (Da Bone ! ) , Vulcans, Victors (Shortly), C-119's, C-123's, C-47's, etc.etc. The list just goes on and on. Granted us "wee modelers" are a smaller group (pun intended !) But with more after market support the scale will definitely grow in popularity. And don't forget the Airbus A400 M was just released by Revell - so there is more than enough material. You made my day, anyway. :thumbsup:/> :thumbsup:/> :thumbsup:/> Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) Awesome news! :banana:/> I'll be picking up a set for sure!! John P.S. If you decide to do a B-2 sheet for the Revell B-2, please include the Spirit of Kansas! Edited November 8, 2014 by John King Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted November 8, 2014 Share Posted November 8, 2014 Looking forward to the -135s and other 1/144 subjects! Jonah Quote Link to post Share on other sites
USAFsparkchaser Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Ya B-52 stuff would be really cool! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Was this sheet ever released? Don't see anything for it on your website. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted April 9, 2015 Author Share Posted April 9, 2015 No - I had to finish the 1/72 sheet first. I am scaling it down and will release the 1/144 sheet as soon as possible. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Teeradej Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 KursadA, Any chance for shamu scheme 135s included in the future 144th sheet? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Looking forward to this sheet! I think I found a quick fix for the Minicraft canopy issue: Skyline Models 737 part. John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Looking forward to this sheet! I think I found a quick fix for the Minicraft canopy issue: Skyline Models 737 part. John John I believe that Fisher Model will be issuing several update sets to correct the engines as well as the windshield area of the Minicraft kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Yes, that is correct. This is just a temporary fix until his parts are released. I plan to build multiple -135s so Fisher's parts will definitely come in handy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted October 14, 2015 Author Share Posted October 14, 2015 (edited) This sheet has been finished a while ago, and has just been waiting for a suitable opening in the release schedule. Next month is a good time, so I will send it to be printed this weekend. It should be available in mid-November. It is basically a straightforward scaled-down version of the 72nd scale sheet, with exactly the same options; but national insignia and stencilling (appropriately simplified for the scale) for two aircraft. Some minor adjustments have been made to ensure a good fit to the Minicraft kit. Edited October 14, 2015 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie D. Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 That is outstanding news! I'd love to see the EC-121 sheets redone in 1/144! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
majortomski Posted October 15, 2015 Share Posted October 15, 2015 KursadA, Any chance for shamu scheme 135s included in the future 144th sheet? I think I have a copy of the official USAF paint drawing for this scheme.. Seeing how I signed it off for use Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 Would love to see some decals for early SAC 135A's in the 60's to 70's time frame. Even early 80's. Way more colorful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Agreed, but unfortunately really poorly documented as well. Maybe I have not seen the right books, but I have not been able to find sufficient references for these. For the time being the only KC-135 sheets I am planning will depict the current KC-135R fleet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drifterdon Posted October 23, 2015 Share Posted October 23, 2015 Like your 1/72 sheet, I'll definitely buy this one too. Would at least be nice if someone would do up the data sheet with the high viz colors. Yellow crew/escape hatch outlines, large full color stars and bars and the full sized USAF and US Air Force's would be nice additions. I personally think the decals that come with Minicrafts 1/144 135A kit is totally lacking. Don Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kingoalie Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 I second Don's comments. I've got the Minicraft kit started and looking forward to this sheet! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Kingoalie Posted December 23, 2015 Share Posted December 23, 2015 Hey Kursad, I know you've been busy with many new sheets but is there any update on this one? Thanks, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 It is being printed - it was part of the delayed December batch that I hope to start shipping in the first two weeks of January. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
