#1 Tomcat Fan Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 Nice work Mark. Any chance you will deliver the F-14 in 1:48 scale? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thegoodsgt Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 Another great selection of markings! Even though I'm an Air Force guy, I've always liked the markings seen on VMFA-314 aircraft, especially the F-4! Steven Brown Scale Model Soup Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f14tomcat Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 MArk, excellent as always. I have a question, shouldn't the A-7D 70-0970 be 354 TFW 355TFS Mrytle Bach AFB Tail code MB Nov 7, 1971. And 70-0959 be 354TFS 355TFW Korat Korat RTAB tailcode MN? I lived in Wilmington, NC at the time and remeber seeing MB A-7D from Mrytle beach come thru there. MB was the 354TFW IIRC.

Mark S. Posted May 27, 2013 Author Share Posted May 27, 2013 Wayne: Thanks for your interest. No, the MN code came first. Initially each squadron had a unique code but before deployment they changed to centralized maintenance and a single wing tail code. In addition to the "MN" code there were squadrons with "MR" and "MB" tail codes. FWIW I work from photos with credits to reduce erroneous markings. Mark Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kstater94 Posted May 27, 2013 Share Posted May 27, 2013 My Dad was assigned to the 354th TFW and deployed to Korat so I am definetly interested if you produce these in 1/48 scale Regards, John Quote Link to post Share on other sites
f14tomcat Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Thanks, Mark for your reply. I mainly remembered the MB tailcode for the 354TFW. I also remember the individual squadron codes. Just couldn't remember when the change took effect. I have seen 4TFW aircraft in SA, SB and SC codes before SJ was started. Wayne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Litvyak Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Oooh... 72-061 is definitely something to get! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kurnass77 Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Are the sheet available? I've checked here but still nothing... Gianni Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mungo1974 Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Interesting subjects. I especially like the USAF CH-3B.....a rare bird indeed. My knowledge of helo kits is very limited,so which kit would be best for this option?.....Also do the instructions list what airframe changes the modeler needs to a accurate CH-3B Quote Link to post Share on other sites
