To be honest I have never seen all those decals produced. How good are you with an air brush? Decals are great but some times you just have to suck it up and paint on the markings. Im sure you can find on the internet pictures of the way they were painted on the planes. Test your artistic skill out and try painting a couple. If not find a friend who is good with an airbrush.

Remember in life as well as modeling… Enjoy the journey as much as the destination.

Happy modeling

The S-3A Viking, tailcode NK of VS-29 MODEX 700 is in the Hasegawa S-3A set included.

I have an old Super Scale catalogue that I can chesk tonight. But if they are still in production, or floating around somewhere, I can’t help you on that.

This is what I found in 1/72. I have pictures of up to #292, and a list up to #618. I can’t tell you where to find any of these, if they are available.

E-2 72-117 tail code is NG, but carrier is the Connie
72-334 VAW 124
72-537 VAW 112

A-7 72-113 VA 97
72-221 VA 27
72-402 VA 27

F-8 72-331

S-3 72-209
72-219

Good luck finding any of these.

Ricardo,

Since you obviously have a computer, do you have a good-quality printer and scanner?
You could scan the existing decals into Adobe Photoshop or an equivalent graphics program and modify the decals to what you want. Than you can print them out on decal film found at better hobby shops or web sites and you will have custom decals to your liking.

Good luck.
