GazB Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Hi all. I stumbled across these today in an ongoing search to secure the appropriate decals for my post-Christmas build of an F/A-18F in 1/48. Plan is to do Phoenix and Bob's jet sitting on the carrier deck. Of course, having the right markings would be great, especially for canopy names and in particular, helmet markings. When I saw these I thought I'd hit the jackpot. Then I realised they're only doing them in 1/72 and 1/144, but not 1/48 for some bizarre reason 😩 Does anyone with better knowledge know if there's an intent to do 1/48 decals from the movie for the regular Hornets by this manufacturer or others, not just the instructor one? I keep seeing Fightertown decals mentioned but that doesn't seem to be going anywhere, and if they're the same sets as previously released then I think they're incorrect based on the preview images. They're pretty spartan jets so the numbers can likely be sourced without issue, but having those names and helmet decals would be perfect to get it right.

StevenBills Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Swwwweeeet! I was looking for a set of these shortly after the film came out, and was sad that there weren't any at the time. Thanks for the heads up! SB 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like they might drop later this month, or the start of next. On 10/2/2022 at 2:49 PM, wkw said: I was browsing their website. Looks like they just announced this sheet in 1/48.

I just managed to secure a set of these for the 1/48 Hornets from FieldsofgloryModels, so they look like they're coming into stock Gaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
