jacobp51 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Anyone else notice that the Jolly Rogers have gone back to black and white? Maybe i am late to the dance, but these are the only pictures I have seen, and neither one is very clear. These pictures were posted a few days ago to navy.mil. Anyone else have anything? link 1 link 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
andrew.deboer Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 The CAG bird is still full-color. I think they have been this way for a while, with 200 in full color, 201 in black tail monochrome, and the rest in grays. Modex 200 Line Bird Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Ooh! I love it! Not too gaudy, not to flashy/showy, not too toned down either. I love it!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maveric043 Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yes it is very beautiful Jolly Rojers have painted!!!!! Very much it is pleasant!!!!! image host gif hosting image hosting Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 ...it would be easy to do with existing decals for Victory 103, except for the striping with the chevrons. I'm not about to assume the F-14B's similarly marked in the '90s would have the same dimensions to the chevrons/stripes so as to use those decals, though.... This might have to be my next bird for the Jolly Rogers 72nd collection (currently 30 strong). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
VFA-103guy Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Yep, 103 went back to the black and white scheme back in Nov 2010 for Vic 201. The new scheme for Vic 200 was done in May or June 2011. Here's Vic 201 just out of the paint barn..note the lack of crew names. And Vic 200 in the barn just after the new scheme was applied. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Best things I've read on the interwebs all day. I've been looking for any one of your VFA-103 sheets on eBay for a while. Then when I finally have the cash to buy them they are gone.

Brian P: Fightertown Decals Posted May 9, 2012 Share Posted May 9, 2012 We've had 48047 VFA-103 sheet in stock on the website until 4 days ago. Now they're sold out. I may have 1 or 2 copies of the original 48006 VFA-103 sheetin the garage in the spares bin. It's got a tear in a few stencil pieces but otherwise perfect with no instructions printed.

It contained the VFA-103 CAG and CO jets with a couple of E-2's and some tomcats. If not, PM me your address again and I'll re-send on the 22nd. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
