Jennings Posted February 21, 2016 Share Posted February 21, 2016 A few more of the many squadron markings we've got coming (soon, I promise!). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 Working on it, I promise :) Actually I'm having a tough time trying to figure out which one to do. I really like MG Price's "El Jefe" with the 21st NORAD DIVISION titles on the tip tanks and the humongous white/green command stripes on it, but I'd also like to do a more standard in-service bird that's representative of the squadron. The birds on the tail are different between the two. J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always thought it looked kind of funny with the TAC badge on the tail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted February 22, 2016 Author Share Posted February 22, 2016 MG Price's 49th FIS markings were from when he was still alive, so you do the math :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Darren Roberts Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 I was thinking if you were going to do a "standard" squadron set of markings. You could do both! :lol: Just make sure there are white/green checkerboards for inside the speed brakes. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 :D Great set of decals..wrong scale though...maybe you should be convincing Meng to do one in 48th but that hors may have bolted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Meng has no 1/48 lineup. Others, however, do :) If you're alluding to the Trumpeter "thing", it's not even a horse. Well, it's part of a horse, but my mom taught me not to use that kind of language in public. Edited February 23, 2016 by Jennings Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nothing "wrong" about 1/72 scale. It may not be "right" for you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
EagleOnyx Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Do you have any plans to add or already have Florida Air National Guard F-106's? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 24, 2016 Author Share Posted February 24, 2016 Yes. Already done. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jennings Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Plan on doing City of Jacksonville at some point, but not the others. For one, they're all pretty big markings, and for another, other than CoJ, most of them were pretty hideously ugly. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Absolutely great choices there Jennings. Looks like that first profile is special markings for a William Tell meet? Not familiar with the squadron though. Can't wait until you release these in 1/48 and I can get rid of my Superscale sheets. Hopefully by then Meng has scaled up their 1/72nd jem. Yeah, wishful thinking I know. I do have four Monogram kits in the stash so lots of stock there to get ready :) in the mean time. Having built one already I know the pitfalls on that kit especially the landing gear but that is another story. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted February 26, 2016 Author Share Posted February 26, 2016 Yes, the top aircraft on the image at the top of the page is a William Tell 1965 participant from the 71st FIS at Selfridge. The 71st never had very exciting markings for most of its history. They added the blue/white checkerboard and apple and arrow motif just for WT 65. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChippyWho Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 All very beautiful...all I need now is that Green Dragons bird! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Wow, nice Jennings. Those Green Dragons are one of my all time favourite squadrons for the F-106. Maybe because it is the only squadron I was actually able to be up close and personal with when they were stationed at Griffis AFB. I have two sheets for 1/48 deals from Superscale but only one is really usable. The first sheet had the green really off in my mind. The second one is much better. All academic if/when you release your sheets. Hmmm, maybe you release sheets of only the CO aircraft with the fuselage stripes. Although thinking about it now not sure if they all did that. Maybe you can call the sheet Stars and Stripes :) Ok back to my modelling bench. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyhawk174 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Enough with the teasing already, I think I am going to have a heart attack :) :) :) Just gets better and better. The F-106 has got to be one of the most beautiful aircraft out there. Ok there I said it. Let the flaming begin :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
