Hetzer123 Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Good afternoon, I am looking for a picture of the Tiger-logo from a F-4D 53rd TFS. What I found is the brand-new logo, but I need the 60's. Some of those fighters participated on a airshow at Upper Heyford around 1971-72. It would be very very nice if someone will have a picture, because I want to build an aircraft with self-made decals.

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 Hello @Hetzer123 ... Not sure what scale you're working with but i found these decals in 1/32nd scale and they have the markings you seek. Are either of these the symbol you're looking for ? The decals have this one ⬇️ I hope these help you ? Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanguin Posted July 9, 2018 Share Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) The Tiger Meet site has no useful images: https://www.natotigers.org/tiger-meets However for those looking through their archives, the 53rd used F-105Ds for the Tiger Meets during 1961-65, F-4D Phantoms during 1966-76 and F-15A/B from 1977 onward. There seem to have been a small range of 'Tiger' patches, most variants of that found above by Dennis. Images of Phantoms bearing the badge are very few, in part because the badge was of modest size in those days. Exotic tiger stripes adorning front line fighters were not the norm in those days! John Late extra! I found this which may or may not help: http://forums.airshows.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=5238 Said to be 1972 pictured at Upper Heyford.

Hetzer123 Posted July 14, 2018 Author Share Posted July 14, 2018 Hey Guys, thanks for your response! I am working on decals in 1:48, the airdoc sheet is completely sold out :/ That’s the reason why I have to create them by my own. Also I am thinking that the Airdoc decals are not 100% correct. So thank you Dennis and John for the idea with the patches, I will use them as a template. @sanguin I already have these amazing pictures! Pictures like those are very rare ;) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted July 14, 2018 Share Posted July 14, 2018 Have you contacted Airdoc ? They might make a sheet for you sometimes companies will do that? Might be worth a try ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
