Well, I guess it will be slowly time to upscale our Beagle sheet(s) to 1/48th scale...

Release this sheet and I'll build at least 5 examples off it Diego
I've already built but not fully finished a Peruvian Air Force F.52 in 72nd scale as I never found anyone able or willing to print me a decal of the colourful noseart badge found on the machine I wished to represent. If you're including that specific unit insignia on this sheet I'd quite happily purchase it for that alone. Although of course there's the added bonus of plenty other cool schemes for which I'll get full value from it
It will be a real pleasure! I'am just working on it...
Re Peruvian air force, of course, the "14° escuadrón de caza" gamefowl badge will be included too. The only thing I am still not sure is if the badge has been applied on both fuselage sides...but I think it was, as I have seen a "ground training" device with the badge applied symmetrically on both sides of the cockpit...

FACH (Chilean Air Force) Hunters!!!! fantastic. Be care with Roundels, because prior Xtradecals fails on that.

Many thanks!
Indeed, J-702 has small insignia, J-703 even smaller ones and J-718 does not have any wing markings.
And, your're right, (J-)734 in her last scheme should have pale grey wing insignia and codes.

Do you maybe have plans to "update" MiG-17F Fresco-C decals, just for a new Airfix kit?
Well, now it's a bit too early to say how Airfix MiG-17F will look exactly, but if the form is correct, then our MiG-17F decals (Poland, Egypt, Angola, Israel) should work without problems on this Fresco too... and also our MiG-17 Fresco A sheet (USSR, Mongolia, Afghanistan, Iraq, GDR) can be used without trouble - here you can simply adapt the exhaust without afterburner from the Dragon/Zvezda offering.

The F.4 variant makes sense as it allows Airfix to cover a number of re-boxings with other colourschemes and operators (including @Wez' Peruvian example
that I've never yet seen covered by any kit or aftermarket decal manufacturer)
Duly noted!

Nice!
That is not a simple re-print? No?
I think at least the Eritrean ? One eithe the strange insignua us new! There are some photos out thereuf I remember correctly!
Ethiopian, Angolan and Eritrean birds have been fully updated, based on the latest available information and pics.
Correct current Ethiopian markings, based on close-up shots, are available for the very first time on this sheet and two are included as bonus ( in fact, you only need 2 for the tail, as wing markings are now not used by the EtAF).

Good day!
I am currently working on a decal sheet dedicated to T-6G Texans used in the post war period.
Many of them were armed with two "M2" .30 cal (single) gun pods, that were also used on the T-28 Troyans.
It seems that this weapons were highly popular among the crews of these aircraft and were widely used, but, unfortunately, I was not able to find any plans or drawings showing these pods.
I would be a big help, if you could provide some drawings or scale plans, or a good profile picture, so I could make a scale drawing.
Many thanks in advance

No news about the IRIAF Mirage F1 sheet announced few years ago ?
Well, the Mirage project has been put on ice, as Berna released a sheet covering several IRIAF options, but an F-1EQ (Iran & Iraq) sheet will be surely released in the future.

Yes indeed the parabrake tail was included in the test shots. But maybe Airfix won’t include them in this offering? Time will tell. If they end up doing an FGA.9, I suspect and extra sprue with rockets, large tanks and cutout flaps will be included
Well I wasn’t a big fan of this conversion set. I much preferred the Aeroclub. The fuselage cut was forward of the wing which made it much more forgiving if your cut was slightly off... The Heritage had you cut the fuselage mid-wing which left absolutely no room for error, and I found it a pain to get the whole thing together. I never finished mine. If AlleyCat takes the ‘aeroclub approach’ and includes a resin canopy, I’m in for at least 6 or 7 sets
Well, Revell followed exactly the same approach in 1/72nd scale, offering a F.6 and then, later, a FGA.9 boxing with the respective "new" parabrake equipped exhaust pipe.
- I am therefore fairly sure that Airfix will offer a separate FGA.9 boxing during 2019 - the FGA.9 being considered as the "main" Hunter version - with all needed items.
- I also hope very much that they will also add a transparent nose for the FR.10 recce version ( the same recce nose was used on both F.6 and FGA.9 airframes) - remember that Airfix has just done a new recce Meteor !!!
- Finally, with a bit of luck, many modellers' dream in form of mainstream kit of the T.7 two seater, could also become true thanks to Airfix...hopefully.

I'd love to see the slatted wing RFs you mention. My understanding was that Greece and Turkey had 16 (new) RFs each and those were the only ones made; you would add to the global F-4 knowledge bank if it can be proved otherwise.
Iain
Indeed, eight slatted RF-4Es for the HAF and eight slatted RF-4Es for the THK , all with rounded noses.
