Sabre Freak

You mean like some kind of documentation that would show what side number went with which BuNo? Yeah. I'd love to find it too. I've got the opposite problem. I've got a pilots log book that tells me squadron & BuNo. But if I want to model any specific A/C, its a swag on the side number, unless I have a photo where I can make out BuNo. You'd think it was written down somewhere in a squadron. I did request a few Aircraft History Cards hoping it would document the side numbers, but they don't https://airandspace.si.edu/collection-archive/united-sta

Thanks all for the responses

I've been sending e-mails to the "ORDER EMAIL", but no response. Maybe they only take phone calls/snail mail? https://www.flightdecs.ca/FLIGHTDECS_aircraft_military_aircraft_decals.htm

Bump. Just in case

I've got the actual photo etch on the way from Lucky Model. Was hoping someone already has this and could send me or post a picture of the instructions that would come with it. Wanted to start prepping the kit... Much thanks if you can help out

How the big boys roll

I know you said Navy, but this VMA(AW)-242 Easter Egg load is worth noting. Sorry I can’t find the website anymore that had pics of the real thing https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/234998070-intruder-with-easter-eggs/

I see the NA style buzz numbers is available. Do you have a revised ETA for this one?

The CAD, yes. The fact they were working on a 1/72 Hercules, no that’s been known for awhile. Different topic. I’ve read that US distributors can’t get Zvezda products due to a trademark issue Anybody else know the scoop?

Well F-106 site has a 1964 and a 1994 editions of T.O. 1-1-4. 64 is too early and 94 is probably too late. FWIW, the 94 edition calls for 15" National Insignias for camouflaged aircraft. https://www.f-106deltadart.com/manuals_documents.htm

Great build so far! IIRC, CA was first with the TA-4

Alternative source, Warbird decals has a sheet with Glenn’s Sabre I own it but haven’t used them yet. https://warbirddecals-com.myshopify.com/products/usmc-pilots-korean-war-f-86-e-f-sabre-decals-1-48-glenn-bolt-wbd-48026

Or you parts out you kit to others...

Looks good! Weathering, details on the ordinance. The spill on the Napalm tanks. Just nice work all around

Mine was easy. “Nick” flows through the generations on my dads side. We “russionized” it given his birth country. And no I’m not suggesting “Nick” but you get the idea. Look to your ancestors for inspiration. We are the mechanism through which our ancestors have continuity.
