336 Mira "Olymbos" - Aegean Ghost Scheme

 

 

 

338 Mira "Ares"

 

 

 

 

340 Mira "Aleppou"

 

 

 

 

341 Mira "Velos"

 

 

 

 

The aegean ghost scheme is just for eyecandy, since at the early 1970s it was not invented

 

 

The serial numbers are loosely designed following this greek Starfighter:

[+76.IAP-Blackbird 3,557]

Looks fantastic, the first and the second last pic are my favorite! Will you release them?

[voulgarakis 2]

in greece we don't had the f-100..only the turkey...

but they really look great job. !!

[TeargasHorse 287]

I am obliged to agree with Blackbird, the grey skins are very nice, good work.

 

Greece didn't have F-100s but that's why these are in the "What if" files.

[Wrench 9,847]

like the zippers, they'd still carry the USAF buzz numbers, so the "FW" would still be correct. simple deacl change

 

the ghost skin looks GOOD!

[ValAstur 1,294]

So "FG" stands for the Zipper? Then I'll change it accordingly prior to release.

Wonderful!! Greece didn't have but if we did those skins would look awesome ... excellent work i wish you release them.

 

 

P.S. Wrench..you are like an encyclopedia :)

[ValAstur 1,294]

Thanks a lot Wrench for this information. Decals have been already changed.

[Spinners 15,986]

Mario - man, you're in a hot run of form at the moment!

 

Regarding 'Buzz' numbers the most obvious omission from that list is that 'FJ' was used on the F-4 Phantom (see pics of the borrowed F-4B's but it was seen on the early F-4C's and even the RF-4C's too).
