I remember that one. No luck finding it anywhere? Or just whoever has it is charging too much?

I did manage to find the set... in the U.K. for $47 USD with s & h (8.99 euro, plus 31.49 euro for s & h) at aviationmegastore website :bored: Still deciding whether or not to proceed in buying it.... :bag:

Unless someone in the U.K. is willing to buy and ship to me cheaper. I'll foot the cost....

The cost of the decals is good, but the shipping and handling charge is put gougingbfor something that fits in an envelope. I’ve bought decals from Europe for less. More on the cost, but far lower in s&h.
Keep hunting Blacksheep! You’ll turn up something!

Thanks stik. I'm still hunting around though. Thank God for a simple Euro to USD currency converter... It comes in handy.

For some reason aviation megastore charges high for s & h fees compared to blackbird models website also in Europe. I found another decal set there I'm definitely looking to buy. It'll cost me less than $20 with shipping through them. Go figure....

Any of the special schemes that he does are the ones that really sells out quick. I too have missed out on quite a few sets that I've really wanted.

On that note, another great decal maker is Caracal Decals. He does a lot of "special schemes" and stuff that no one else thinks about.

I am a big fan of Kursad's stuff over at Caracal.

Since he ships free to the the US, I don't have to wait until I have a bunch of sheets that I want,,,,I just order them whenever he releases them,,,or in batches of two sheets when I find I want some.

I was hoping that he'd release a KC-135E set before I finished mine but he never did. I do have a set for the Texas ANG Anniversary scheme.

Found it here in Germany. Great shop, it's a family business (father and son).
Shipping is cheap within EU, maybe you can get a fair deal to the US.

Wow... that is a whole lot cheaper than the one I found in the U.K. Even better, it includes both for 1/48 and /32 scale. Thanks for the link!
