That does sound interesting. Any Desert Storm aircraft included?
-
Thanks for that it does actually confirm what I was thinking, after seeing various other jet aircraft look similar to this in that they have the airframe colour for part of the intake and then the rest being white.
-
I am making the Meng F-106 and would like to know the colour of the full intake trunking. The kit instructions state the same as the whole airframe (ADC Grey), but would just like confirmation.

I do not know about US Army Chinooks, but in the RAF we could fit mini guns to the front right and left windows and have the M240D on the ramp. If you can find some pictures of RAF Chinooks being used in the Gulf War 1991 by the Special Forces flight they may show them. The had tubes mounted by the guns to catch the spent cartridges. This combination has been used in many Operations post the Gulf one, or some sort of variation of it.
Have a look here.

Actually, yes. I have about 30 options drawn and just need to narrow it down to 12 for the first sheet. Five different paint schemes will be covered and several different squadrons.
Good to hear that Dave. I look forward to these.

Any CH-46Es but especially the brown schemed ones that were used in the Gulf War 1991 in either 1/72 or 1/48.

I did my VF-32 plane with a combination of existing decals and stuff printed from LaserJet at home. 201 would be the easiest to do in low-vis, being it only had basic markings ..
Thanks for that. I am looking to make one of the TARPs aircraft as I have all that I want for that apart for the markings.

I have the same problem in 1/48.
Thanks for the information. That would be my second option, but my preferred scale is 1/72
-
Sorry to jump onto this thread, but I have been looking for 1/72 decals for a line VF-32 Tomcat from this time period. I can find decals for the CAG aircraft and markings for before and post this time period but not for Desert Storm. If anyone can help I will be very grateful.

Second the Art Model kit.
-
F-dcal do a sheet for the 72 Series, but that is all. It would however be nice to have a sheet including the SARIGUE aircraft.

I am really looking forward to the Tomcats at war sheet. I think that is the way to go: one „topic“, mixed squadrons, some jets new, some that may have been done before. If it features line birds and mission markings I will be buying it!
Daniel
Especially if there are some Desert Storm aircraft that have not been done before.

Battle Damage Repair. Used as old disused aircraft for training in this art rather than an in use aircraft.

Also while on the ODS subject; how about a good 1/48th Jaguar? (in RAF markings of course) Is the Revell good?
gary
The Revell kit is the Airfix/Heller kit reboxed.
-
Looking forward to this sheet.

Nice to hear
I would love a 1/72 sheet or 2
Second that thought. Please include some from Op Falconer (Australian Op Iraqi Freedom).
-
Sorry to read what is happening, but I would always rather give my money to the decal maker knowing that 100% of this will go back into developing and producing more decals.
-
I used the late model when I made one of these.

I did notice that, can’t recall ever seeing a non-black radome on a Vark before.
Although not a FB the first F-111E (S/N 68-0050) at RAF Upper Heyford to be painted grey had a grey radome.

I'd love to see decals for one of the last Skywarriors. VQ-2 flew EA-3B's as late as 1991 from Rota, and a detachment even went to Desert Storm. There are some photos of them in ODS, and one was painted up after the war for RIAT '91 with a sharkmouth and a spook silhouette on one side of the tail. My personal perference is for one of the deployed birds, but either way would be a nice addition to the set.
Chris
I agree with your choice.
-
Something from VQ-2 please.
-
Thank you for your answers, and I think that I have found the aircraft that I am going to make.
-
I know that during the 80s that the colour scheme of the C-141Bs changed from the Grey/White to Euro 1, but were some aircraft still in the Grey/White scheme at the time of Op Desert Storm? I only ask as I am making a model of one from this time period and would prefer to make one in the Grey/White scheme.

Sure can, the differences between the A and B were internal; avionics, wing refurb and uprated engines.
Thanks for that, one now on order, jus have to wait for Caracals sheet for a C-5A.
