Scimitar Fmk1 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Hi I am building a VF-161 F-4S flying from Midway in the early 1980's. I have a Verlinden MD-3 deck tractor with a compressor starter set on the back. Should it be painted white or yellow - I have seen pictures of the tractor with both schemes? Thanks for responding Will Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grey Ghost 531 Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 (edited) in '79-'80 on the Coral Sea they were yellow except for a couple that were painted "fancy". One was stars and stripes and another was flamed. I think that one was still yellow but it had a red and orange flame job. I've got a Midway book at home. I'll take a look and see if I can find a picture from that time frame. Edited August 2, 2012 by Grey Ghost 531 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they changed it to white in the later 80's because of better night visibility (IF I remember correctly!). Happy Modelling, WARDOG Quote Link to post Share on other sites
