adamitri Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 When did they switch to the darker blue on the stars and stripes a/c ? I have two bobs decals with the light blue. Did anyone make the dark blue decals ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rich in name only Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 Because it's a CAG-bird? It's the pre-lowviz style and is often on CAG-birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adamitri Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Same plane (I think) Maybe different time frame ? I see the DCAG name is different Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spook498 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Im not sure of the time frames, but they are different between the cat shot pic and hangar bay pic. Check the length of the flames and the alignment of the red and white stripes. On the hangar shot, the "line" where they differ is at the end of the radome, as if the radome and the rest of the plane were painted separate and don't quite line up. The cat shot shows better contours. In the cat shot pic, it shows the McClusky award, which was issued in 1998 for the 1997 surge cruise. I think Superscale may have done this sheet as well, but I don't know which number if they did. Edited July 22, 2016 by Spook498 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
