fighter will ALWAYS carry a P (pre-47) or F (post-47) first letter

 

nice skins though!!

[+Geary 1,889]

Just picking easy near-year style numbers to Americanize them. Easy enough to change once they're placed.

 

Skins aren't mine. All I'm doing is re-decaling mostly stock skins. And as you guessed, with stock decals. Just learning how to do this and building the USFAF (United States Foreign Air Force) while I'm at it.

 

Soon I may try a skin with color/camo. Maybe even make a decal or two.

 

 

 

 

P.S. I think one or two have F-100 numbers.

Just a quick doodle as I am currently working on historical skins for the Phantom. It is a shame that this bird never flew in the German Navy. This is it in Norm 76, equipped with AS 34 Kormoran missiles:

[Spinners 15,986]

Ooh, that's nice PH. The high demarcation line looks really good.

[PraetorH 166]

Thanks! And yes, indeed, the higher line looks nice. I first tried the RN-style, but it somehow did not please me 100% (it IS a nice camo, but it could be better). Then, looking at the Tornado, I realized that the Norm 76-camo put the demarcation line on the middle of the fuselage, no matter where the wing is. And voila... When I am done with the historical skins, I will release this one too.

nice!
