What size is that? Are you aware of an aftermarket source for these? The kit comes with later low-vis all black roundels

Hi All, I was excited to recently get a modelcollect B-52G "Early Type 1967-1972 in Linebacker II Vietnam War" 1:72 kit, but have been disappointed by the decals provided, which have no specific aircraft markings, nor era-appropriate stencils. I've asked modelcollect if they intend to fix this ("No"), and asked Caracal Models if their forthcoming B-52G sheet will include Vietnam markings (it will not). As such, I'm wondering where to go next to acheive a Vietnam War B-52G? My understanding is that by the time the G joined the conflict for the Linbacker operations, they would have been in SIOPs colours (rather than SEA Camo with black undersides) as part of the 72nd Strategic Wing (Prov). Does anyone know what size roundels need to be on this, if there's an appropriate stencil set (Warbird?) and if there are any generic USAF letter/number sets that would allow me to represent an actual aircraft (I believe they were very plain, so just tail numbers/letters)? Cheers, Andrew

I'd quite like to see any of the following, all 1:72 New Tool: RAF Jaguar GR.1/A (all existing kits are old and rather inaccurate) RAF Tornado GR.1/A/B (the Revell kit, while ok, is rather tricky and a bit inaccurate) RAF Tornado F.3 (All current offerings are old and very inaccurate) RAF Typhoon FGR.4 (with a decent weapons load) (ala Hasegawa but not as expensive) RAF Rivet Joint RAF Sentry AEW.1 (or at least re-release the old one) RAF Poseidon MRA.1 RAF/USAF C-17 Globemaster III RAF Liberator USAF B-52D Stratofortress with Arc Light or Linebacker I/II options Vietnam War USAF AC-130A Spectre USAF RF-101C Voodoo USAF KC-135R Stratotanker Royal Navy Buccaneer S.1 (could this be done off the back of the S.2?) Rebox USAF C-47 Dakota as AC-47 Spooky with Vulcan canon and Vietnam War markings RAF Buccaneer S.2 with Martel and/or Sea Eagle missles etc RAF Nimrod RAF Sabre

I'd like to see a 1/72 Buccaneer S.1 with an EDSG/White scheme with Red Beard weapon (especially from HMS Eagle), 1970s RAF Buccaneer S.2 (because I can't find stencils for them in this era) and 80s Buccaneer S.2 with Martel/Sea Eagle weapons, re-released Nimrod and Valiant, and many boxings of the new Vulcan :) In new tools, I'd like a Vietnam Era USAF B-52D and a Sea Vixen FAW.1, both in 1/72 (I've really enjoyed the Phantom and Buccaneer Royal Navy kits, keep 'em coming!)
