KursadA Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 CD48217 will be new sheet with a few interesting Navy/Marines F-4N options. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Niels Posted May 27, 2021 Share Posted May 27, 2021 Nice! VMFA-531 by any chance? Love the grey skull on blue tail 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wild Weasel V Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 The 'special' tail art on the starboard side of 152230 SH36 when with VMFAT-101 at Topgun 1979 perhaps? That's definitely a one-off! I couldn't find an online picture but there's a couple of nice shots of this aircraft in the ADPS009 USMC F-4 special from AirDOC. Can I hope to see a black tail VMFA-314 jet? I don't remember this scheme has ever been released: For the USN, post-war VF-51, VF-154 and the Reserve squadrons maybe? VF-51 seem to have had a few early F-4Ns without the AN/ALQ-126 antennae fitted so would suit the Tamiya F-4B with only a few changes, even then I think a fair few of us could find the necessary parts from the spares box to do the full installation. 🙂 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Arrowhead Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 (edited) Late VF-51 markings would be great ! Soooo classy. and VFMA-321 in white lettering too. Edited May 30, 2021 by The Arrowhead Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Arrowhead Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Yes, that white Star-and-Bars is pretty cool too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Arrowhead Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 VF-202 and 302 colour birds are already covered by Furball and Kits-World respectively, if memory serves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted May 31, 2021 Author Share Posted May 31, 2021 Only line jets on this sheet, no “peacocks”. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

While the VF-202 “Peacock” is cool, I think the story behind these VF-202 jets are much cooler. F-4N’s with Eagle “kills”! https://www.google.com/amp/s/theaviationgeekclub.com/that-time-us-navy-f-4s-scored-plenty-of-kills-against-then-brand-new-usaf-f-15s-in-mock-air-combat Quote Link to post Share on other sites

IIRC Bill Spidle is/was a member here. I'm all in for a NAS Dallas VF-201 / VF-202 sheet !!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will put in a vote for late VF-51 - CVW-15 would be great also. That's one of my favorite schemes from my youth. I had a copy of Wings magazine that did a photo shoot at El Toro and Mirimar that I kept for years. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Definitely some great ideas here - I had a selection of units for the sheet but your suggestions helped me settle on a better one. I should be able to finish the initial design later this week along with the SIOP FB-111A. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 (edited) This one is coming next month - too busy with preorders to draw profiles for it yet, so I will leave it to you to figure out what's on it 🙂 Coming also in 1/72 before the end of the year - the 1/72 version will have one or two more additional options.

The Arrowhead Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Glad you picked up the -51 and -321 schemes, Kursad! No crew names on the -21 and -51 canopy rails? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
