richter111 Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 I ordered a set! I like the way they do not allow you to pay until they have verified the stock. Nice touch, I imagine it eliminates many mis orders and inabilities to deliver. Ric Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Nope, no Vietnam JR MiG killers. They were very early in the war, returning in December '65, I believe, which is right before the air threat truly emerged. They did ground attack. Would love to find a kill marking I've got a newspaper article about; apparently one of them was called in to help with a sniper that was pinning down a unit, perched in a really tall, solitary tree. Well, the JR F-4 was out of ordnance, but still obliged to help. They went into a very shallow dive, and with the wing clipped off the top of the tree, sniper included!! The kill marking applied was a tree with wings sticking out of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Artwork Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hi All,I am finalizing the F-4J VF-84 late 1971 versions. Decals will be includes Cartograf printed National insignia red warnig intake triangles and Yellow chevrons. Others are printed via Dry transfers. and will be reelased 1/32nd, 1/48th and 1/72nd scales. With A2 size full poster instruction will be included. Now I am searching pilotsnames or other modex information. If you provide these information or other Modexes references, I will send one set after printing to him/her. Of course I would credit his/her name on the instruction manuals. If no one provides any information, I would release without Pilot names. The dead line is 14th Feb. because I would release by 1st March. :lol: Good Luck! From Kim Real nice job ! I like your profiles ! I would have liked to be able to help you, but alas, I don't have high definition photos of these birds. Even with my > 100 000 US NAVY photo collection. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reckless Posted June 10, 2009 Share Posted June 10, 2009 Hi I was in VF84 from 1970 to 1972. If I would have found this sight sooner I might have been able to help you out. Hi All,I am finalizing the F-4J VF-84 late 1971 versions. Decals will be includes Cartograf printed National insignia red warnig intake triangles and Yellow chevrons. Others are printed via Dry transfers. and will be reelased 1/32nd, 1/48th and 1/72nd scales. With A2 size full poster instruction will be included. Now I am searching pilotsnames or other modex information. This version shows: White Radome. Six stars on vertical fins. No white Bu. No. on the vertical fin. Black pilot names on the yellow back. I am drawing based on the one photo from Page 26 Squadron Publications C&M series vol.17 U.S> Navy F-4 Phantoms and and two photos from VF-84 part of US Navy F-4 Phantoms Pt.1 from Aero Research Co. CD-rom version. Here is the profiles of 200 155868 and 201 157298 and one of Hasegawa kit shows 206 155868. I think Mod 200 155868 changed to 206 after some times. If you provide these information or other Modexes references, I will send one set after printing to him/her. Of course I would credit his/her name on the instruction manuals. If no one provides any information, I would release without Pilot names. The dead line is 14th Feb. because I would release by 1st March. Good Luck! From Kim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Reckless, although you weren't in on the research end, a lot of folks have been asking questions about VF-84's missions/actions during that period of time. Who better to fill us in than you. Perhaps post some historical stuff in one of the other threads. Being a Jolly Roger's fan, I'd sure like to hear a few war stories from Ernie's locker! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sidney Posted January 13, 2011 Share Posted January 13, 2011 I bought this set some months ago and must say I found it very difficult to use. The poster is super as is the alignment of the decals. But many of the dry-transfer would simply not release from the backing paper (especially the coloured ones). I tried to apply them to the matt gray paint: no deal; sprayed 2 coats of Future: no deal; 2 coats of MM flatcoat: no deal (I rubbed through this coat when I tried again). I tried warming the sheets just prior to application (a tip received on this board) and again, to no avail I ended up applying the dry-transfers to some clear decal sheet and (after a lot of cutting) adding those to the model. Since I had flatcoated the model, this required brushing (!) on several coats of future. Only to end up with some silvering :-( (mind, there were now 9 coats of paint on the model already) The walkways are particularly bad - these are standard waterslides and simply shriveled to snot when I removed them from my water container thingy. Oh, and I found out they need to be cut closely, the whole sheet is one decal film... naturally this was clear after I wet them, grrr... On a plus note, the remaining water-slides were some the best I EVER applied!! They went on beautiful and needed just a little bit of setting solution! This sheet was not one film btw. - the carrier film is impressively tight! Maybe it was because of my first try with dry-transfers, but I sure as heck will not try them again...

Pauldoe Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 (edited) Hi all: Here's a 1972 FDR cruise on-deck pic of BuNo 157298 for anyone using the sheet - beautiful. Compare with this shot during the 71 Med cruise - Note paint differences (e.g., canopy rail). Enjoy! P Edited February 13, 2011 by Pauldoe Quote Link to post Share on other sites
