Jamie @ Sovereign Hobbies Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I have a notion to build something from my extensive stash in the graffiti "markings" applied by merciless crews when a US Navy pilot accidentaly landed on the wrong carrier - there are numerous examples of this from the Korean war. I've had a brief look without success. Does anyone know of any decals for such a victim of military humour they could point me to? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
e8n2 Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 I've seen the photo before, probably in one of the Squadron books on Carrier units. I am not aware of any decals being made for this aircraft, but there was a Model Alliance sheet that had the change of markings to an FAA Phantom that operated for a time from a U.S. carrier. They changed Royal Navy to Colonial Navy and at least on the fuselage changed the roundel to the Pre-WW II U.S. star and red dot. I believe Hannant's still has some for sale and may even be planning it for a new sheet when the new Airfix kit comes out. Later, Dave 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hook Posted June 6, 2017 Share Posted June 6, 2017 AFAIK there was a sheet for a Skyraider that had black footsteps applied all over it after landing on the wrong carrier as well. HTH, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
