What do you think guys? Craig. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that might be part of the Xtradecal F-4D sheet. Which also has the JT codes. Is that what you were thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoftScience Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I would happily participate in a 60s NATO build, and then hop back over to the 80s in the Pacific. Or a Middle Eastern proxy wars theme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Superscale sheet has the proper badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomBigStu Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 No group build (or indeed any build) would be complete without a PBS disaster and once again it is true, ruined the windscreen on my phantom beyond the skills of micromesh and klear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oohhh - the sixties! They say that if you can remember the sixties, then you haven't been there! Well I was born in 1962, and I can't remember much of it, so that must mean, I haven't been there, and consequently am 8 years younger! So - being that young - of course I'm in - with what I don't know yet - I have a Lightning, Hunter. Starfighter, F-100.....or...a Staalwart, Saladin.....

helios16v Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 (edited) I've got an F-100 in the stash I've been saving specifically for this.

helios16v Posted March 6, 2017 Share Posted March 6, 2017 I'll probably be doing a USAFE bird. Unless I find something else I want to build more between now and then. It's quite aways off, so I'm not locking exactly what I'm going to build in yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Col, I thought that it would be as inclusive as the NATO/WARPAC ones have been which I believe is why they are so popular and it gives us the chance of building some of the classics that were built in the 80's NATO one in some different markings. As for the 60's NATO/WARPAC I have already made my choice (well one of them at least!) I'm going to build an F-105 from the 36th TFW based at Bitburg, should make a change from a Vietnam theatre one.

SoftScience Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Any experts on Italian F-104 S units? I have the Hasegawa 1:72 kit, and I'm wondering if any of the markings options would be 70s appropriate. 23 gruppo 5 stormo in two tone camo 12 gruppo 36 stormo nmf 9 gruppo 4 stormo nmf I'd post a shot of the instructions, but postimage seems to be down again.

RMP2 Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Im not so sure the S version was ever in natural metal. Just doesnt sound right to me. Good old Wiki even has one in camo and suggests its a 1969 photo, and Wiki never lies... much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basuroy Posted March 17, 2017 Share Posted March 17, 2017 Hello folks , I recently received the parcel containing the special hobby 72nd scale AH-1 cobra kit and to my surprise , as per the instruction sheet , one of the markings is for an 8th cavalry machine based out of Germany , 1973 . I wish to confirm whether this is an eligible candidate for the GB . Regards , Basu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
