There were 2 "standardized" US camouflages in the 1960s and 1970s: - the South East Asia ( S.E.A ) developped for use in Vietnam and using tan+ mid green+dark green over pale grey undersides ( these are the colors used a.o. on the Honduran, Tunisian and South Korean Sabres, but with different patterns) , as well as - the Asia Minor desert scheme, mainly used on aircraft exported the the US Middle Eastern allies, like Iran, and then Jordan, Saudi Arabia, etc. This lighter camouflage scheme used sand+ brown+dark green over pale grey undersides As an illustration, here is a shot of a former Imperial Iranian AF F-86F, in service with the Imperial Ethiopian AF during the early 1970s: Greetings Diego

Regarding Hi-Decal HD 72064 and 48034, there will be a small content change: The sheet will cover: - a NMF Iranian F-86F in IIAF/UN markings, - a camouflaged IIAF Sabre in Asia Minor desert scheme, - a camouflaged Imperial Ethiopian AF Sabre in Asia Minor camo ( former Iranian F-86F) - a camouflaged Philippine AF Sabre, wearing an attractive pale sand + black green + mid green scheme, used in combat on Mindanao in 1973-76. Please note that these Sabres all had the F-40 standard wing.

Greetings Diego / Hi-Decal

HD72051 will be "in stock" again at Hannants next week. Anyway, if you should have problems to find it, please simply let me know. Re: Hasegawa - the new "IRIAF" edition has indeed markings for 3 aircraft in "low viz" blue grey camo...some years ago there was an "IRIAF" edition with desert camo. Re: Fujimi - these are really nice F-14, maybe even better than Has., including weapons, engine, etc, and are generally a bit cheaper. The "AliCat" IIAF / IRIAF edition, however, has unfortunately totally wrong Iranian markings. Greetings Diego / HDL

Well, you can also use this sheet http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HD72051 containing markings for all IIAF and IRIAF F-14A schemes

Hello Mikkel, I think, this will be done in near future - the "classic" roundels with yellow star as well as the new ones There is also FAPA MiG-17F red "C 24" on sheet HD 72035 & HD 48005 with camo and the "older" roundels. Greetings Diego

Well, then you can also build an Angolan Su-27 Flanker: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HD72050 Greetings Diego

HI-DECAL has markings for the colorful "post-overhaul" Polish AF Su-22M4s. Here you go: http://www.hannants.co.uk/search/index.php...mp;currency_id= The sheet HDL 48-010 includes the necessary markings for Polish, Ukrainian and German Su-22M4s, HDL 48-011 having the necessary stencilling Greetings Diego

These are still on the works, but research data is now practically complete. We hope to have these printed in early February

I have the pleasure to present our latest release, HDL 48008 A-6E TRAM Intruder, prepared having in mind the brand new Kinetic A-6E kit, but of course also the Revell Intruder in 1/48 scale. The sheet covers the last years of this legendary US Navy bomber: a camouflaged Desert Storm veteran, a Deny Flight (Yugoslav War) participant as well as the last US Marine Corps Intruder with colorful tail markings: The new sheet is now available: http://www.hannants.co.uk/product/HD48008 These decals are also available in 1/72 scale ( HDL 72029) Greetings Diego / HDL

This is indeed the same kit as the "USAF Agressor" boxing - with earlier nose, but with a refuelling probe and the "bigger" vertical tail, as used on many exported Tiger II. Included markings allow to do different Chilean and Moroccan Tiger IIs and upgraded Tiger IIIs. Of course, this kit will be perfect if you want to do for example a Brazilian, Tunisian or Indonesian F-5E... Greetings Diego

The F-5E/F sheet is planned for late January/early February. It includes several cool, unique USAF F-5Es as well as colorful Vietnamese, Soviet, Indonesian and Yemenite Tiger IIs. The F-5A/RF-5A sheet will then follow. More F-5E/RF-5E options, as well as F-5Bs are also in preparation. Greetings Diego HDL

Harald, A decal sheet covering VNAF & VPAF, as well as IIAF F-5As & RF-5As, with all the different paint schemes used on these birds, is already in the pipeline and will be released in early 2012 by HI-DECAL, having in mind the upcoming KINETIC and TANMODEL kits in 1/48 scale, as well as the ESCI /ITALERI F-5A in 1/72 scale. Also a sheet including a.o. VNAF & VPAF F-5Es will be released very soon in both scales. And here you can see the already available IRIAF F-5E/F sheets. Greetings Diego

Brisey, It's a pleasure to see such a beautifully finished Ali-Cat, with a correct armament configuration, even including a Phoenix training round! Re deployed canard winglets: some of the current IRIAF F-14, camouflaged in blue & grey, still have these canards in the old Asia Minor camo... Once again: splendid job! Thanks for sharing it!
