Question on decal markings on this 1/72 Hasegawa F-4J kit


Recommended Posts

hmm, something is a bit mixed up there.

 

The famous Showtime 100 was the CAG aircraft during America's 1970 tour in Vietnam, then that aircraft was again the CAG when it was shot down in 1972 during the Constellation cruise.

 

155580 is the BuNo of the replacement CAG from the shoot down on up until later,,,,,,,I don't remember how long, though.

 

But, that combo of America, 155580 as the CAG, and 1972 just didn't happen

 

Edit, oh those markings are correct,,,155800 on the America,,,it just happened in 1970, not 1972,,,,,,,,I don't know if VF-96 did it on purpose or not,,,,,,,but, you have to look really close to see 155800 and 155580 in order to tell them apart
