Sunliner Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Nick, This is what I meant when I referenced the unpainted area around the cooling ducts. I guess with the new Bard Ducts the area behind them can now remain painted. BTW, thanks for joining the forums, it's nice to have an expert on board. Cheers, Dave Aren't those the areas referred to as "heat blankets"? I don't know for sure...I never could figure why the one on the right is larger than the one on the left (right ones' hotter maybe?) -Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dan 88 Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Thanks Dave. I'm a fan of their low viz schemes with the darker gray markings. Provides better contrast than the previous ones I've seen. Those markings wouldn't be a bad idea for some decals...... Daniel Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yikes!! :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sunliner Posted January 30, 2008 Share Posted January 30, 2008 Crap! I thought that digi-camo Marine hornet was bad... On another note, I like the lo-vis VFA-213 jet. Hope some decals spring forth sometime. -Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites

klawrence Posted February 21, 2008 Share Posted February 21, 2008 The marking for the F looks identical to the E so you should be able to use the Two Bobs sheet. You just have to fashion the bureau number somehow. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
