adamitri Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 (edited) Jake, any thought of drawing a sheet with the newer type tailcodes being applied to C/O birds ? Edited February 28, 2016 by adamitri Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I'm not sure I understand your question. You mean with the all black badges that have begun to show up? Got any pics of what you mean? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jmel Posted February 29, 2016 Share Posted February 29, 2016 I shot walkarounds of that specific jet last time I was at Nellis, but I still don't see what you mean about "newer type tailcode." What is different about the tailcode? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
adamitri Posted February 29, 2016 Author Share Posted February 29, 2016 (edited) Is the WA and 57WG the same size or does it look smaller because its higher on the tail than before ? Edited March 1, 2016 by adamitri Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 Is the WA and 57WG the same size or does it look smaller because its higher on the tail than before ? I'd have to look at my pics. I don't remember thinking they were different. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Falcon053 Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 I took pictures of SJ Strike Eagles back in like 2008ish, can't remember for the date, here at Hill AFB during Combat Hammer and a couple of their jets had the black ACC badge. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmel Posted March 1, 2016 Share Posted March 1, 2016 The black ACC and Wing/Sq badges are standard now throughout the ACC Eagle/Strike fleet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcatfreak Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) Some WA, OT and MO (Thunderbolts) Strike Eagles would be nice :thumbsup:/> :woot.gif:/> In 1/32 of course :wub: Edited March 2, 2016 by Tomcatfreak Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The only forthcoming 1/32 Strikes I have are the two on 32007, due out this spring. That is an SJ jet (helo killer) and a gorgeous ET jet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gator52 Posted March 6, 2016 Share Posted March 6, 2016 (edited) Is the WA and 57WG the same size or does it look smaller because its higher on the tail than before ? If I'm not mistaken, the flagship markings have changed slightly in recent years in that the tail number is now applied in the same format as the line jets, with the small AF + FY, followed by the last 3 or 4 numbers in the larger size. Contrast that with the previous method, where the tail number characters were all the same (smaller) size, to allow more space for the unit identification. The result of the new format looks a bit more crowded as seen in the photo, but I don't know if the sizes have been adjusted at all.
