Do Trumpeter provide the refueling stuff?

Great! What A-6 squadron would that be with VF-11 flying Deltas?

Am thinking... Is there any KA-6D in 1/32? Would be a VF-11 Delta refueling then!

Isn't VFA-115 a former A-6 squadron?

So let's say Flying Pencil refueling from a Foxtrot VFA-41 Rhino would be my best bet if I can't find VX-23 decals

Thanks for the great info! Wonder if there are VX-23 decals in 1/32 scale for both jets

I also readed somewhere that Rhino were cleared to refuel since 2002, that would render the project feasible then, just have to find which Tomcat squadron was around those tankers... But, since BuNo164604 was a Test aircraft, is would make a buddy refueling from a Rhino a great possibility finally, I "just" would have to find VX-9 or VX-30 decals for the Echo or Foxtrot Rhino

Do anyone knows about 1:32 S-3s?

Wow, great replies! Then question is, do any maker makes a 1:32 S-3?

Time frames would be VF-11, VF-31, VF-154, VF-2 last cruises and last years of BuNo 164604 at VX-9 Build will also be 1/32 scale

Hi Folks, Once Bullet 100 (BuNo163894) dio will be finished, I plan to start a new build, but this time with several aircrafts in flight. I'm not decided on the Tomcat variant nor squadron (maybe VF-11 showbird on their last cruise, the full color F-14B, or Vandy 1, or a VF-154 F-14Ag, or even one of VF-31 F-14Ds), but what I do know is that the aircraft is being in-flight refueled. Question is, what Navy aircraft is going to give the fuel given the time frames? S-3? K/A-6D? Rhino? Sorry for not being more precise... Cheers

Thanks for the reply! So showing BuNo163894 landing with both pods would be accurate, great news! Didn't you keep the pods loaded on the "good" TARPS jets, as I recall to have readed in the book US Navy F-14 Tomcats units in OEF, with the VF-2 bird with the unique load of MK-82(?) and TARPS? Regarding the markings, at the start of the cruise, did the jets have the "Last Tomcat Cruise" markings on the tail? Cheers

Hi Folks, I'm planing to start some kind of a diorama featuring BuNo163894 just after touchdown on the carrier, with all control surfaces "activated". Engine nozzles will be in closed position in this set up. Question is, do anyone knows if the TARPS pod was on the belly of BuNo163894 at any time? I mean, very early on cruise, when the Air Wing just went aboard, so the bird would carry both the TARPS and LTS pods to later unload one of them once on deck? Cheers

wow, vous (tu?) êtes hyper réactif, ça fait plaisir!

Hey, would you have a link to this crew, in 1/32 scale? cheers
