Hi modelers...I got one question that maybe is stupid.I ve seen many photos of Tomcats during early 80's period with Light Gull Grey overall scheme.In some photos i noticed that the colour looks like Barley Grey but i dont know if it is wrong from the photo or from the sun angle.So,even if i lighten up the colour of my model and make the scale effect i cant get the same shade.In some photos it looks like Barley Grey than Light Gull Grey. So,what to do better to add some more white colour drops in Light Gull Grey or to make little darker the Barley Grey. Thanks for the help.. :)

Thanks guys,i really appriciate your answers,thanks again...

Hi,from Greece..as you like camo bird why don't you try a Hellenic Airforce A-7E.You dont have to change anything from the naval model,greek A-7E's keep also the refueling probe and the Aproaching lights!!Vietnam camo and white on the belly.. Loadout: 2xAIM-9 Sidewinder 1x Flir system 1x Fuel tank 1x MER with 6 Mk-82 1x Mk-84 we also use Scalp-EG/Apache system for long range hits but I dont know if exist in scale. Decals: You can use Icarus Decals.Note the small "scorpions" on the fuselage below cockpit and on the fuel tank!! Notes: You can make a lot of weathering with wings foded

Hi...I saw in a lot of articles here that a lot of models have home made decals.I'd like to ask how they make this trick? What printer can be used?ink or laser?How they magnify the decals in the correct scale?What clean sheet decal is used? Thanks in advance...Bye-Antio

Hi. I saw a lot of fantastic models in the gallery but unfortunately the authors - many of them - had printed the decals in home? I d like to ask what printer they use,type or which company is best for this job?(Toshiba,HP,etc?)Laser or ink?Where i can find clear decal sheet or where to order it?How they magnify in the coorect scale the decals? Thanks in advance Bye..Antio!!!

Wow!! i 'd like to see that,i hope Japanese really visit an airbase here in Greece.Hellenic F-16's have so many differences even from the Israeli's that looks the same.Also I hope to have the right decals and finally the correct colours to paint it,not get involved with mixes again.. Antio..Bye!!

Thanks,guys for your reply and especially Brian about your explanations!!

Hi,again.. I am building a F-14A bird in Hi-Viz sheem of VF-213 "Black Lions" but i cannot find coloured photos.Home of MATS and Tomcat alley have only old shots without colour.Has any member any photo of this style?I m talking around 1975 aboard USS KITTY HAWk with L.Gull Grey/White.Please help... Bye-Antio

Nope..the rest of Sidewinders have different type of covers smaller in length and round at the top!! Bye-Antio!!

Hi,I have a great decal sheet from VF-111 in "Low-Viz" with the big sun in tail fin!!Anybody know if this squadron updated and used F-14 as Bombcats or stay only in interception roles and inactivated without use of bombs. If they use Bombcats,why I cannot find any photo? Bye-Antio..

Hi, I don't know if you like only american aircraft.You can find from "Plastimodellismo Hellas" in Greece,decals for greek A-7E/H with Vietnam camouflage,in 1/72 or 1/48.The quality of decals are extraordinary with full stencils and signs.Also I know that Zotz,i think have decals for Portuguese or Tailand A-7E on 1/48. If you decide for Greek A-7E drop me a message to send you address or e-mail. Bye-Antio

Please if anyone has photos of this period it will be very helpfull...Thanks in advance..kanaris,out..
