Hi all, Shameless plug... Back in the 1990s, Repliscale released a set of sheets with generic markings in 1/72 and 1/48 for USAF aircraft. These were really useful but a bit iffy in size, and have not been available for some time. Whilst there are a huge variety of decal sheets available nowadays, nobody has released generic sheets for USAF/ANG aircraft covering the obvious areas. I would therefore like to introduce USAFline - a new venture which will, over time, aim to provide tail code and serial number markings in black, white and grey. The first sheet is now available - USAFline 72-001 provides 18" markings in Gunship Grey (FS36118) mainly designed for the F-16. I have tried to provide as much content on the sheet as possible (slightly larger than A5) and include a complete set of tail code letters (18"), serial numbers (12"), year designators (from 1978-2009 although most of the early F-16s were out of service by the time tail codes switched from black to grey) and a set of wing/squadron/unit designators (e.g. FWW, FS, FW etc) as well as command designators (AFRES, AFRC and ANG). The sheet is currently available via eBay UK (just search for 'USAFline') or direct (email "info@usafline.com"). ![]() ![]()

Nah, glad to see you here! Best of luck with these. I don't really have a need for them myself, but I'd think they'll go over well with the jet-set crowd. ![]() Anything else you've got planned in the pipeline that you're willing to share with us? |

Excellent! Although these are unfortunately no use to me either (don't do Lawn Darts) I wait eagerly for the black & white ones! What's left of my ancient Modeldecal & Microscale generic sheets are now pretty much unusable.... |

Thanks J.C. - it's taken far longer than it should to get these moving and I'm learning as I go, but it's all good fun!! keefr22 - white and black ones will probably come at some point, although each sheet will be tailored to its' subject (e.g. a 24" black sheet would have to cover the period from Vietnam right through to current day as well as all the aircraft carrying that size of markings). Each sheet has to fund the next, so it'll be dependent on sales, but I think you'll find the next planned sheet to be of interest ![]() Chris |

Now available via Ebay.com - although for some reason it doesn't show up under "USAFline" but DOES if you search for FS36118! Onwards and upwards... |

Ebay is a wonder unto itself! I've had to list on both sites separately - but can see everything in my summary irrespective of which site I'm on. Go figure... :lol: |
