RCarlson Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 I need some help with some markings on a Wisconsin ANG F-102 seen in this picture: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Air-Force/Convair-F-102A-Delta-Dagger-8-10/619209?qsp=eJwtjEsKAkEMBe%2BStYIfUJidXkAXXiAkTx0c7SYJaDPM3e0e3dWrBzWSpFfgE5eSQR052OROC8ps/HTqRnqgvJNpZbou16sN19eTxbFUoxw4iCAH9O9PprB2wWUO3Vp43xB2/q3trk7tPQ88VxDcDzRNX1%2BNLmw%3D What is the # 1 for that is in front US AIR FORCE text, and would it have been on both sides? Would the lightning bolt on the tank been carried on both sides of the tank? What is the marking under WISCONSIN on the tail? It is also seen in this picture: http://www.airliners.net/photo/USA-Air-Force/Convair-F-102A-Delta-Dagger-8-10/2800089/L?qsp=eJwtjEEKwkAMRe%2BStYJVcNGdXkAXXiAkXy1WZ0gCOpTe3Znq7v334U0k6RX4xKVkUE8ONrnTijIbP536iR4o72Rama7rbrPl%2BnqyOJZqlAMHEeSA/v3JFNYuuCyhWwt3DWHn39rt69TB88hLBcHDSPP8BV6pLmY%3D Both of these pictures say they were taken in Aug 1974. I really like the looks and the weathering of the first picture and would like to do my Meng kit in those markings if I can. Any help is greatly appreciated.

KursadA Posted July 14, 2017 Share Posted July 14, 2017 (edited) The marking under Wisconsin on the tail is a Aerospace Defense Command unit commendation badge used in the 60s-70s. You can see it below. There are two very accurate copies on one of my 1/48 F-101B sheets - it is sold out, but you might have it since you have many of my decals.

RCarlson Posted July 14, 2017 Author Share Posted July 14, 2017 Funny that you should answer that Kursad! I thought that it might be that and was going to post this on your forum page as well. I know I have it on the 1/72 sheet and that was the scale I needed. Thanks again for your help and for the awesome decals! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 (edited) Does anyone know if the Hasegawa F-102 have the "spoke" type front wheel that these jets have? Edited July 17, 2017 by RCarlson Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCarlson Posted July 17, 2017 Author Share Posted July 17, 2017 Thanks Colin! I figured someone would come along with a joke. Leave it to a Navy guy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Okay, still looking for some help. Does anyone know of some custom decal or custom art work makers. I've used Red Pegasus before, but unfortunately the owner has passed away. I've tried Fighting Piranha Graphics, but got no reply. Fireball Models doesn't do custom work anymore and Draw Decals said they could print me decals, but would need I would have to do the artwork. I'm actually making headway on my F-102 and am getting to the point of needing decals before long so any help would be appreciated. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spruemeister Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 You can use Superscale 72-107 if you can find it. It has markings related to the 1972 William Tell meet, which makes me wonder if the numeral 1 you are asking about may be left over or related to the 1974 meet. Don't know, just wondering out load. On the internet. Rick L. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andrew D. the Jolly Rogers guy Posted August 26, 2017 Share Posted August 26, 2017 Okay, I actually have that exact Superscale sheet, minus the two round ANG seals on the left side of the large USAF's. What exactly did you need from this? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Milo Posted August 27, 2017 Share Posted August 27, 2017 Help with a deuce? Try introducing more water and fiber in your diet. You really have to watch your phrasing sometimes, Ron... Are you bringing this to the next meeting? The plane, of course! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Thanks Rick and Andrew! I didn't know that sheet existed. Andrew, if you are willing to part with them I could use the number "12" and the bureau number for that Wisconsin jet. All the other markings I have through different sheets. I will gladly pay you for them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RCarlson Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 I'm trying to figure out why they don't show up now. I uploaded them from my Google+ account. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RCarlson Posted January 24, 2019 Author Share Posted January 24, 2019 What the heck! Why are my images disappearing? I've copied the URL and I've tried attaching the images. They stay up for awhile and then disappear. Any help is appreciated. Ron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
habu2 Posted January 24, 2019 Share Posted January 24, 2019 Your url has to have a valid image extension (e.g. jpg or png or bmp....) If your url is a web page (e.g. html) it won’t link to the image. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
