Trigger Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Didn't a Hasegawa or Fujimi F-4E kit include markings for the 90th TFS when they were based at Clark AFB? Or are there any AM options? TIA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lancer512 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 The Fujimi Kit G-5 (F-4E Phantom II "Mustang") includes decals for 68-0493 which has PN tailcode and sharkmouth. The decals for the TFW patch look like the 3rd TFW. However, the instructions list this aircraft as 388TFW / 43TFS ??? I hope that helped, Dennis Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 Thanks, I'll look into that further. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fishwelding Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I seem to recall at least one sheet from Superscale, but might be very old now. I had a 1/72 Superscale sheet with several Philippine based birds, but I gave it away, as I less often build 1/72nd scale, and I have a similar sheet in 1/48th. Scott Van Aken, over at Modelingmadness.com records one such sheet, although I seem to remember having a different one. Maybe that's it after all. Aaanyway, you might be looking for at least one old Superscale sheet for your needs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) I thought the 90th TFS flew onlt F-4G's?? If that's the case, maybe that was the Hasegawa kit I'm thinking of. Nope, I was thinking of this kit: F-4E 4106 (110 TFS, 141 TFS, 3 TFW) Edited September 12, 2007 by Trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Enzo Matrix Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Didn't a Hasegawa or Fujimi F-4E kit include markings for the 90th TFS when they were based at Clark AFB? Or are there any AM options? Microscale sheet 72-371 featured markings for F-4E 80-312 of the 90th TFS, 3rd TFW, when it was the wing commander's aircraft. Good luck finding one of these sheets though. The Esci F-4E kit featured the same markings on its decal sheet. -- Enzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted September 12, 2007 Author Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Thanks Enzo. I found that Esci kit on eBay this morning and was debating purchasing it. I wasn't sure of the markings. Now I'm thinking of matching it's decals with a Hasegawa kit. Edited September 12, 2007 by Trigger Quote Link to post Share on other sites

siesta3 Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 I thought the 90th TFS flew onlt F-4G's?? Aeromaster did a sheet of Clark Phantoms in 48th....maybe they did the same in 72nd....worth looking into. The 90th flew the hunter killer concept of the F-4G/F-4E which was then adopted by the 52TFW. Most of the pics of 90TFS F-4Es are in SEA Camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Trigger, before you go nuts trying to get the kit or decals, let me take a look in the stash when I get home from the office tonight. I'm pretty sure I've got the AMT/Ertl kit in question and your're welcome to the sheet if it has the markings you need as I would likely build it in a West German splinter scheme anyway. Otherwise, Lord knows I've got enough decal sheets for Phantoms. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
phantom Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 Aeromaster did it in 1/72. PN,....Grey on grey desert strom markings. Very rare and hard to find. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JasonW Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 (edited) Okay, so..... I have a 1/72 Testors/Italeri F-4E/F/G kit which has markings for 90TFS, 3TFW at Clark AFB circa 1978 and an F-4G of 90TFS at Clark circa 1980. I also have the aforementioned ESCI/Ertl kit which has markings the instructions have listed as 3TFS, 3TFW at Clark. Take your pick of sheets Trigger, and shoot me a PM and they're yours.

Trigger Posted September 13, 2007 Author Share Posted September 13, 2007 It didn't get through. Can you resend? Yes, message sent. Trigger:Hope this helps. Mark Thanks Mark, it does. I also was fortunate enough to find a decent variety of pix last night that I'll post later. I've got two offers for decals and I'm tracking down a kit (looking locally first before branching out) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
