A lazy Sunday morning and i'm drawing some decals.

If anyone has refs on Allied Force or Iraqi Freedom jets, please send my way. I'm woefully weak in this area.

AWESOME!!!!!!

Is there a need for 1/32 F-117 decals? I'm kicking around the idea. I personally want them......

If so, do we want Desert Storm stuff or more towards the end of the career at Holloman?

Desert Phantoms have landed. Links are hot.

I got one of my favorite emails ever yesterday. It was from some printing company in Italy called Cartograf and they were giving me shipping details about some stickers.

Desert Phantoms is on its way. Lots of cool 1/32 F-4 options here. I, for one, can’t wait!!! I’ll send the instructions artwork to print on Monday so in one week’s time, these should be ready to go!!!!

I'm not aware of the 9th Fighter squadron's E-models ever being done in decal form. Or am i forgetting?

At any rate, I think this jet is super cool.

Look for this in June-ish.

With the upcoming Z-M 'late' F-4E, it's a great time to get this sheet out the door and to the printer.

MiG killers, nose art, shark mouths, SEA camo, SEA wraparound, Euro 1, Hill Gray. Soesterberg, Spangdahlem, Moody, Clark, Elmendorf. All kinds of cool stuff.

It's with Cartograf so hopefully by early June-ish?

sized for the ZM kits.

More Viper goodness on its way very soon. Sized for the 1/48 Kinetic Gold series kits.

It's astonishing to think that the F-16 is now 50(!!) years old. It is still, in my opinion, the sexiest fighter ever built and to this day playing a vital role in the defense of many nations' air forces.

Vipers at 50 will be a celebration of the F-16 in USAF service. I've drawn the two special tails from the shin dig at Edwards last week, but i'm not sure what others will make the cut. this will most likely be ACC, USAFE, and PACAF, since the ANG just got its own sheet.

So THIS is funny. This jet came into Wright Patterson AFB a while ago for fuel and I fell in love with it I want this in 1/32 for my own personal model so I began to draw it immediately for a decal release. Then I saw that Dave Roof of Flying Leathernecks was in the process of drawing it for a release under his line.

Meanwhile, Dave had started drawing it, too, but stopped it because he thought I was going to release it. Long story short, it wasn’t getting drawn by anyone until Dave and I talked and worked it out. Shout out to Dave as one of the good dudes. Life is too short to be consumed by “scooping” someone over plastic model airplane decals.

More importantly, how gorgeous is this Hornet and who else wants this in 1/32??!!!

Guardian vipers II has returned from Cartograf and looks astonishing!!! I can’t wait to start seeing these applied to some Viper models. They are flying out of here at a very quick rate so I wouldn’t wait too long before grabbing your sheet.

One of the RF-4C pages from the Phantom Desert Storm sheet in 1/32.

01/24/2024

34 years ago, we were embroiled in Desert Storm. It's hard to believe it has been that long ago.

The Phantom was busy in that conflict in various roles. From lobbing AGM-88s at radar stations, to dropping CBU-87s on AAA sites, and then taking photos of the results, the F-4 was there. This 1/32 sheet features 6 RF-4Cs, 2 F-4Es, and 1 F-4G from that conflict.

It even includes the graffiti the 3rd TFS used on their cluster bombs on their F-4Es. Neat stuff. I just sent this to Cartograf today.

We have some awfully pretty new stickers back from Italy. Man Cartograf sure knows how to print details. I'm constantly impressed at what they can do.

These are sized for the new Gold series Kinetic kits. Come get 'em!!!

I love Cartograf. Wow.

I’m still waiting on the instructions so these gorgeous decals will still be another week or so before the links are hot.

But in the meantime, I suggest you get your Kinetic Vipers ready.

I have gotten a TON of requests for the new Fourth But First Heritage F-15E sheet to be upscaled to 1/32. It took a lot of puzzling and scratching my head to make it all fit, but here it is. A second insert sheet is included with black markings.

I look at the really perfectly laid-out and symmetrical sheets that Geoff from Furball Aero-Design and Dave from Flying Leathernecks Scale Creations designs, and this sheet ain't that!!! But at least all 5 of the gorgeous jets are included in one big sheet for the 1/32 guys. I will be sending this to Cartograf soon, hopefully.

10/12/2023

Good stuff Geoff!!

Looking for new F-35B schemes for the upcoming Tamiya kit?

Fourth But First now shipping!!!!
1/48 for now, 1/32, later this year or early spring.

Wow! Look at this F-4G using our Combat Weasels sheet. Phantastic!!!

09/13/2023

I’m still pi**ed about September 11.

Thank you to guys in the Tulsa Vipers for decorating a GBU-54 in my family’s honor.

This is included as a decal in the upcoming Guardian Vipers sheet, now at the printers.

It’s also currently available in 1/32 on Big Scale Vipers.

09/11/2023

Guardian Vipers, Part II, coming soon!!

Lots of cool options here, from a MiG killer to combat operations, to a Block 25 C-model to a Block 52. D-models, intake cover art, mission markings, and even bomb graffiti.

This is with Cartograf now, so expect it in about 10-12 weeks time.

Never Forget. In my opinion, the best-looking Viper out there. This jet, along with the Tulsa jet, is featured on Guardian Vipers, Part II, now at the printers. If you prefer the bigger scales, it is already available in 1/32 on Big Scale Vipers, as is the Tulsa jet.

How about a sheet full of F-16 decals sized for the new Kinetic kit? How about this sheet featured 12 of the best-looking Air National Guard Vipers, with a mix of the standard two-tone camouflage scheme, but also some with the gorgeous overall dark gray? Lots of C-models, but also several two-seaters? Throw in a September 11 Heritage jet from South Carolina, lots of mission markings, bomb graffiti, and some intake cover artwork, and we have a pretty cool sheet.

I sent this to Cartograf on Friday, so it's on its way soon!!
