Do you have a link for this pic? Sounds interesting.
I do not. I found on social media but I can’t remember where. I have the picture saved it just won’t show up on here. Evidently from what I remember from the caption on the photo. There was a Montana F-106 that landed at the Fargo airport and the ND ANG painted pig sky country over big sky country. So to get pay back when a ND ANG F-4 landed for an over night at great falls they decided to paint over the happy hooligans with happy hookers. I’ll see if I can find the link.

Disregard. Tried adding a phot of F-4 64-0968 with the ND air guard that says the happy hookers on the tail flash but it won’t load for what ever reason.

Wouldn’t mind seeing this on there.

18th AGRS switched to the 18th FIS. Maybe could do a sheet pertaining to such units? There might be more squadrons switch to that destination too.

Nor did the F-14, as I recall. The images were projected onto the inside of the windscreen.
F-14A yes! Later in life the F-14B got one and the F-14D had one from the start iirc.

Kursad,
When you get around to the next Dark Vipers, you have to include this one please;

My favourite unit, and the mix of Have Glass, blue tailband and black markings is just stunning!
Thanks
Second this. Have glass with all black markings looks great.

That’s a nice one. It’s even loaded with live weapons.

FWIW, that's the same photo as the first link in Niels most recent post.
I must have over looked that. My bad.

Thanks, Niels - these are great. I am expecting the Indiana ANG to repaint their newly acquired jets in the HG5 scheme as well. Then I will put together a new Dark Vipers sheet as soon as possible.
93rd at homestead as 87-0289 (former WI ANG F-16) painted up in full unit markers in HG5

From what I heard VFA-103 also had some E’s assigned to them

also in the photo I linked the tail appears to be black as well.

Belgians first F-35 was rolled out Sunday. Serial is FL-001.

So where is the red?
If you zoom in you can read it says 595 color 31136. Which I think means it’s flat insignia red. I know a red is one of the six (I think it’s that anyways) approved colors for the F-35.
-
F-35 69-8701 from JASDF’s 301 squadron has some interesting 50th anniversary artwork.

I left BuNos and nose numbers off my model while I wait for colorful aftermarket markings to come along. (Fingers sequentially drumming on workbench.)
Is that the hasegawa kit? Or What did you use?
-
Maybe some CMV-22B’s?

Preorders will be enabled later this week:
Is this just for the 1/48 version or will the 1/72 be available for preorder too?
-
How about a sheet for the 706th FS (now the 706th AS) during their A-10 and F-16 days.

Is this another Dutch unit?
Ya. It’s still 313 squadron but I believe it’s a line jet. Seems like the Dutch have been using those badges to identify the squadron on their F-35’s.

Resin. And I would use CA glue. That worked the best for me.

Just spoke with some maintainers from Oregon's 142nd at London this past weekend, they are disappointed with the decision to move forward with Fat Amy over the EXs.
I thought 142nd FW (Portland) was getting the F-15EX while the 173rd FW (Klamath falls) was getting the F-35?
-
Finally. Hopefully is a decent little kit. It would be nice to have one in 1/48 too but maybe one day.
-
Surprised no one has beat me to it. Here are a few F-35’s from the 115th FW. They are currently still transitioning to the F-35.
Possible new topics?
