That is really excellent news! Thanks! 🙂 I'm not in any hurry, so I'll patiently wait for the re-release.

Let's revive this post. 🙂 As my search for this sheet has been in vain, I'd like to inquire here. Is there anybody here that has this sheet in his/her posession, is not going to use the decals for the F-100F 58-1226 (early Wild Weasel) and would be willing to trade these? If anyone knows an online store that still has these in stock, that would also be very helpful. Thanks for any help! This is the one:

Thanks! Do you also have the preview from the B version? Because that is the one I'm really looking for. 🙂

Thanks! Would indeed be great if you could post a scan from the Italeri answer here. 🙂 Do I understand correctly that: - 40520 is the Alconbury version? - 40543 is the Spangdahlem version? - The boxart is correct?

An old post, but did you ever manage to find another sheet you were looking for? I'm asking, because I'm looking for the decals with markings for the Douglas EB-66E 54-0531/SP based out of Spangdahlem and I've been unable to find these. Do you perhaps have these in your spares and if so, is there any chance to obtain these from you?

I think this might be a long shot, but I’ve got another Spangdahlem puzzle that needs some help solving. 😊 This weekend I’ve bought a 1:72 Italeri (1375) RB-66B Destroyer which has Spangdahlem decals included. After studying the instructions and decals carefully, I think that Italeri messed up the decal instructions. The instructions show that 4 versions that can be built: - 1: USAF, 363rd TRW, 4417th CCTS, Langley-Eustis AFB, Virginia, USA, 1969 - serial BB415/30415 - 2: USAF, 1st TRS, 10th TRW, Spangdahlem AB, Germany, 1964 - serial

Well done!

You could build one from two GBU-24's (front and middle) and a GBU-10 (Rear).

Nice!

Very, very nice!

Very nice! A joy to look at!

My selection: - Su-27 Flanker - F-15 Eagle/Strike Eagle - F-4 Phantom - F-14 Tomcat - A-10 Thunderbolt - Su-24 Fencer - F-5 Tiger - SR-71 Blackbird - B-52 Stratofortress - B-1 Lancer

If A-10's will deploy to Europe in the future, I'm going to do my very best to try and catch them if it's not to far away. 😎

You're right, post edited. 🙂

It looks we are both partly wrong. 🙂 As can be seen in this picture taken in 1993 over Iraq, F-15A's from the 32FS did use the AIM-120 missiles during combat air patrol missions after the first Gulf War. However, I don't think they ever used AIM-120's at Soesterberg though.

In late 1991 and throughout 1992 they began re-equipping from F-15C/D to F-15A/B, so theoretically the F-15C/Ds could have gotten them. However you could be right, because during that time I often could be found at the fence of Soesterberg, but have never seen any F-15 loaded with live or captive AIM-120's In all the shots that I can find in my collection of F-15C's in scramble configuration, they are quipped with 4 AIM-7F's and 4 AIM-9M/L's. Anybody else any other thoughts?

I have another related question: Did the F-15A/B/C/D's from the 32nd TFS/TFG based at Soesterberg also use the AIM-120's? They left Soesterberg in 1994 while operating MSIP F-15A/B's so this should technically be possible, but I've never seen them loaded on Soesterberg F-15's.

Thanks, this was exactly what I was looking for. I guess I found my Spang F-15C loadout! 🙂

Nice! I've never seen a picture with a mixed load of AIM-7's and AIM-120's before. This is a very interesting loadout together with the 3 droptanks. This picture also answered my next question if AIM-120's could be loaded on the inner side of the wing pylons during that time period. Thanks!

Hi all, For starters: Best wishes to everybody for 2022! Does anybody know if the F-15C/D's assigned to the 53rd FS at Spangdahlem from 1994-1999 ever used the AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles next to the AIM-7M Sparrow's? Ik know that a F-15C accidently shot down a friendly UH-60 helicopter in Iraq with an AIM-120 in 1994, so at least some F-15's were able to carry AIM-120 missiles during the time that F-15's were stationed at Spang. The question is: Were the 53FS F-15's also able to carry the AIM-120's? And if this was the case, were AIM-120's ever used by the F

I haven't seen an A-10 lately, but all the pictures that can be found show they still have a two color scheme today. Special and experimental colors excluded. 🙂

According to http://www.theworldwars.net/resources/resources.php?r=camo_usaf the A-10 Hill Gray colors should be Light Ghost Gray FS 36375 for the underside color and with Medium Gray FS 36270 for the upper forward fuselage and fins. Yes it was. The picture below was taken by me 04-03-1994 at Spangdahlem. When time passed by, the scheme was slightly altered as can be seen in the picture below taken by me 08-09-1996 at the Brustum Open Day. And the final scheme in which I shot my last SP A-10's at the Radom Airshow on 27-08-2009 with ag

While browsing through my scanned slide images this weekend, I found this picture taken by me september 1992 at Ramstein AB. Turned out I shot a grey Woodbrigge A-10 myself after all! 🙂 Four landed that day, from which three were grey and one was green.

Received my hardcopy of the book today. 🙂
