PNW_Modeler Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Early Wolfpack followed closely by Sundowners hi viz (though they did look pretty bad *** in lo viz too). and all versions of the Diamondbacks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

phantom Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 VF-142 Gray over white, as in the original boxing of the 1/48 Monogram F-14A. Thats the one I am doing now. Only in pre markings to that, when still AJ before the switch of airwing in 1974 or 75. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mkimages Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 (edited) VF-101's Gunfighter 155. That's mine, right there. :D The lo-viz reaper on the tail just fits the bird perfectly. Plus it's the last Tomcat I ever saw fly. Edited June 4, 2009 by mkimages Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ST21 Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 (edited) VF-1 Wolfpack first cruise. VF-111 Sundowners "Miss Molly" is probably my second favorite. Edited June 6, 2009 by ST21 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I'm going to go with lo-vis VF-2 from Desert Storm when they were assigned to the Ranger. They still looked "colorful", just in gray. A close second is the scheme I'm trying to get done before the end of June. VF-33 went lo-vis but with full markings right before they were disestablished. They had black tails with a gray lightning bolt/star and a black outlined lightning bolt on the forward fuselage. To my knowledge, no has done this scheme before in decal form. It's a cool scheme, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

F106A Posted June 7, 2009 Share Posted June 7, 2009 Ya know, after some deep thought on the subject, I have to say VF-111 in full color. I thought about VF-84 Jolly Rogers ala "The Final Countdown" and VF-41 from the Gulf of Sidra Incident (see my son's recent build) but my heart really likes the sunburst of VF-111. There's my vote!
