mawz Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 LTV F-8P Crusader, from the Heller 1/72 kit. These were built in the LTV Dallas Plant (which was in fact the old NAA Dallas plant which had built P-51's during WW2) as F-8E(FN)'s and updated by the French to the F-8P configuration.

Grenadier37 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I just won a Monogram F-101 kit off evil-bay with 147th markings. So that's what I'll do. On base we (I'm a member of the 147th RW) now have on static display an F-101, F-102, F-16 and T-33. We used to have an F-4D, but it's been moved to be restored, I think. Check out this web site (below) for additional ideas for Texas based aircraft to model. http://www.147rw.ang.af.mil/resources/factsheets/factsheet.asp?id=13003 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well I guess another Viper is in the offing, now let's see what unit is available. Anybody seen any 48th Trainers of the T-38 variety. Laughlin, Randolph, Sheppard, or Goodfellow markings would be OK. I'd try to do one for Bergstrom, but I'm not fond of Recce Phantoms, nothing wrong with them, just not my cup of tea, mates.

Good dog... :) On the T-38 front, what about NASA's T-38s? I know they're not military but, they reside at Ellington Field. And for the Whirlybird clan, don't forget the Coast Guard...Semper Paratus!

USMC Herc Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Well you can add another Houstonian to the list. I am a little far from home right now lol. I am stuck in Qatar.How about an aircraft that helped win WW2 and was made in San Antonio. It also bares the states namesake....T-6/SNJ Texan With a nice blue paint sceme & Marine Corps markings Cheers & Semper FiJason Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aaronw Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 Bell helicopter is based out of Fort Worth, Texas with a second location in Amarillo. I won't be able to get to it for a bit, being in the middle of a move, but what better way to break in the new model room than with some sort of Bell whirly bird.

xavi84 Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) I haven't logged in in quite some time and I just saw this GB. I would like to join with a 1/48 T-34C Turbo Mentor with marking from Training Wing 4 out of Corpus Christi NAS and maybe a 1/48 F-14A Tomcat with VF-201 markings.

And a ANG 1/48 Hasegawa F-4C/D in gloss ADF Gray Switching to a Revell F-4C in ADC first, the Ferris scheme later. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jinxter13 Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 At present I'm in a scramble that would make the Keflavik alert birds proud, I'm trying to scratch up some decals for the 301 FW, and I'll do a Blk 30 Viper for them. I'm trying to confirm that they went to the 'stan, for a weapons loadout. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Devilleader501 Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 Im curiouse about the F-8 Crusader in the erlier post. Does this include all Crusaders or just the ones from the block he mentioned. reason why I ask is because im going to hook up with a 1/48 th F-8E with VF-111 Markings and would like to join this GB. If not then its back to the drawing board. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wolfgun33 Posted January 29, 2012 Author Share Posted January 29, 2012 Not sure Devilleader, I'll have to check into that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
