KursadA Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 I am still packing these decals: sheets in both scales have arrived a couple days ago and they look pretty good. My biggest worry was that the blue color for the top of the tail might not match the exact color I was going to specify in the instructions; but it looks like I specified an almost exact match: the color on the decal matches Testors French Blue almost exactly.

Wolfgun33 Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Are the white stars for the nose gonna be thick (is that what I want to say) so that the blue doesn't show through? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted December 15, 2011 Author Share Posted December 15, 2011 (edited) No need to worry, the white stars are very opaque. Edited December 15, 2011 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted December 27, 2011 Author Share Posted December 27, 2011 (edited) I just shipped the last preorder. These decals are a no longer a "preorder" item now, and I will be shipping all orders immediately. The first reviews should start appearing next week.

kg4kpg Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I don't build 1/48 anymore but since I still had a kit and I'm a Texan I had no choice. Just ordered me sheet. Looks awesome. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mike J. Idacavage Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 My Texas ANG decals came yesterday and I could not be happier! Great artwork and excellent printing. Another fantastic decal from Caracal. Thanks KursadA for having faith in us 1/72 modelers and supplying cool decals for our chosen scale! Mike Have fun modeling!

kg4kpg Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Mine arrived today, thanks. Very nice, can't wait to get to it. Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 4, 2012 Author Share Posted January 4, 2012 The reference photos section is up. http://www.caracalmodels.com/references/cd48009/ Note that there is an in-flight photo there showing that the undersurfaces of the horizontal stabs were left gray. I got this photo *after* I designed the instruction sheet. I will add an erratum notice to the decal's Web page and provide a corrected drawing there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 I have a question for you. I use acrylics to paint with and i'm having trouble finding the gloss red, white and blue. Do per chance know where I can find them? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Do per chance know where I can find them? I typically don't have any problems finding most of the Model Master acrylics range at local Hobbytown USA branches here in the Austin area. While building my Lone Star Gunfighters prototype, I used the Testors Guards Red and French Blue that I bought from Hobbytown. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
