Phantom Phreak Posted October 14, 2006 Share Posted October 14, 2006 Ok, I gotta ask, who all is doing the 204 bird when you get the decals? I prefer line jets over show birds any day of the week! But I'm sure I'll do the CAG/CO jets as well ... just can't make them look as battle hardened or as well worn as a line jet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Daniel_B Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 (edited) See what happens when you're a Tomcat Snob who ignores the Super Hornet threads? You nearly miss out on important tidbits like this: Got some cool new stuff line up, like VX-30 hornets, VF-143 Last tomcat cruise, you know, just to name a few. ;) That VF-143 sheet is soooo already bought... ;) :) Daniel Edited October 17, 2006 by AP_Hancock Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DutyCat Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Just got the 1/72 VFA-103 Hobby Decal sheet in the mail. I am impressed. Very thin and well printed. You can do the Cag bird or any line bird. Also included is the dark gray tail version. Tons of stencil data and a large, thick paper, poster type reference sheet with every squadron airframe represented and all crew names. I have never worked with dry transfers before. I may convert them to waterslide, but they look like they will go on nicely as they are. We'll see. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Kewl! Got mine this week too. Although...lol...keep in mind this thread is trying to extoll the virtues of the VF-Decals' waterslides... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DutyCat Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Roger that. PC is EVERYwhere! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted October 17, 2006 Author Share Posted October 17, 2006 I don't care if you guys cross promote Hobby Decals sheet. Hell, I gave him the info for the dk grey tailed bird! Brian Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hornet78 Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Question Brian I too just got the HD sheet. Mainly for two reason's, Your wasn't anounced yet and I wanted to try the Rub ons. Now the dark tailed A/C, How many of the line birds were marked that way? There is the picture on the instruction sheet with #204 but the instruction art work has #211 also. Also howlong did the squadron have these dark tailed birds? TIA Jim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TIA Jim Jim- The only dk grey tail they had at the time was 204, not 211. As I was talking with the MMCO just before the squadron left on cruise, they were talking about doing them all with dk grey tails. However, to my knowledge currently, only 204 is still the only dk grey tailed bird in the squadron. I would ask, but these guys and girls have more to worry about right now than what color the tails on their jets are if you can imagine. Another tid bit of info for ya. They are loosing the colors on 200, leaving 201 to be the only full color bird in the squadron. Edited October 18, 2006 by VF-103guy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Since that was brought up, what's the chance that they'll end up NOT painting the tails dark gray? :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
