Space Shuttle Orbiter Tile Patterns CED72083 MSRP $28.99 USD CED44002 MSRP $18.99 USD Recommended Kits: -
Monogram 1/72 Space Shuttle -
Minicraft 1/144 Space Shuttle These sets address a major compromise that most Shuttle modelers have been forced to make in the past - replicating the tile patterns on the vehicle. Most of us simply paint on the base colors and call it good enough. Cutting Edge has provided an outstanding set of decals that almost completely cover the model. For the 1/72 example, the decals are printed on three (3!) 8.5 x 11 inch sheets that will transform the Monogram kit into a highly realistic replica. The 1/144 example is printed on three sheets as well, but sheets two and three actually make up the equivalent of one half of the 8.5 x 11 sheet (makes sense - half the scale, half the decal area required...). Kudos to Cutting Edge for these!
  
NB-52A 'Balls Three" CED72111 MSRP $10.99 USD CED44003 MSRP $7.99 USD Recommended Kits: -
Monogram 1/72 B-52D w/Cutting Edge NB-52A Conversion -
Minicraft 1/144 B-52H w/CELO44010 NB-52A Conversion This decal set provides markings to replicate NB-52A (X-15 mothership) 52-0003 (AKA 'Balls Three') as it appeared in 1959 and 1964.
  
NB-52B 'Balls Eight" CED72112 MSRP $14.99 USD CED44004 MSRP $7.99 USD Recommended Kits: -
Monogram 1/72 B-52D w/Cutting Edge NB-52B Conversion -
Minicraft 1/144 B-52H w/CELO44011 NB-52B Conversion This decal set provides markings to replicate NB-52B (X-15 mothership) 52-0008 (AKA 'Balls Eight') as it appeared in 1961, 1967 and 2001.
 
Space Shuttle Tile Masks CEBM44002 MSRP $9.99 USD Recommended Kit: Minicraft 1/144 Shuttle These masks will significantly cut down on preparation/masking time for getting the right colors down in the correct patterns to accurately replicate the look of the Space Shuttle. Cutting Edge has provided three variations in the vertical stab patterns to allow you to accurately depict any given shuttle during its flight operations to date.
You can purchase these and any of the great Cutting Edge decal and mask lines directly from Meteor Production's website (www.meteorprod.com). They have some of the fastest mail order delivery in this industry - give them a try! My sincere thanks to Meteor Productions for these review samples! |
