aircal62 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Just wish someone would do an accurate 48th scale T Bird. The TV-2's were sure colorful. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
aim9xray Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 (edited) Going by the book... NJ is (was) the tailcode for Air Wing 12. The modex (nose number) of 1xx indicates assignment to the first squadron of the wing. In this case we can probably say that this jet is assigned to VF-121, the Pacemakers, based at NAS Miramar. Primary mission equipment was probably the F3H or F4H; the TV-2s being used for instrument training, squadron hacks etc. EDIT: I think I can see "21A" on the fuselage under the trailing edge of the tip tank. This would be consistent with "VF-121A" or VF-121 Det. A. The detachment would explain their being based at North Island. Edited April 27, 2015 by aim9xray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
