VMX-1 squadron coverage by Flying Leathernecks Decals


Recommended Posts

Gentlemen,

 

  Back in 2008, the XO of VMFA-122 (then LtCol G. Rowell) was instrumental in having the squadron send me photos, measurements and information about the markings applied to all 12 of their F/A-18C's at Al Asad. The final result was sheet FL48022. Col Rowell is currently the CO of VMX-1 and has once again tasked the squadron with assisting me with reference photos. Last night I received the first email from the Airframes OIC and the image attached is just a sample of what they have provided. A sheet number has not been assigned yet, but the sheet will cover two options of each type the squadron operates (F-35B, UH-1Y, AH-1Z, V-22, CH-53E).

 

  Cliff Bossie has provided detailed walk around photos of the Command V-22, BuNo 168214 with the full color tails and it will be one of the options. This sheet, along with a sheet covering the last of the VMAQ squadrons EA-6B Prowlers and another sheet covering the F/A-18A/C in combat operations from OIF and OIR will be going to the printer in the late summer, early fall.

Well aren’t you a fortune one to still maintain good contacts haha! Looking forward to seeing more Zulu Cobras!

 

Yes, very fortunate. I may not release a lot of sheets, but when I do, they're drawn with a passion for accuracy and almost always with the help of the Marines that fly and maintain the subject aircraft.

Great news Dave! I'm looking forward to getting these sheets. Will the VMFA-323 Boss jet be on the F/A-18C sheet? Did you ever get FL32004 Death Dealing Deltas at War back from the printers?

 

Thanks,

Rick
