+daddyairplanes 10,281 Posted October 21, 2013 i'm amassing quite a collection of Phantom pics working on the N and now the S Phantoms skins. thought i might share some with you all you guys might recognize this if you downloaded the N skinpack and some early S's. the first 43 were delivered sans slats. upgraded later they often refered to as Super J's. the slimers is the thing to look for in this: no slimer its a J. slimers its a S with VMFA-451 or 232 in 79-80. i think VMFA-333 as well, still researching that one. thats all for today...... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+ST0RM 145 Posted October 21, 2013 I like that first VF-74 20th Anniversary photo. While it's nothing too gawdy, I'd like to see that made into scale model decal form. The spook on the tail is cool. Sadly without crew/plane capt names, nobody would touch it. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The spook on the tail is cool. Sadly without crew/plane capt names, nobody would touch it.There is a very old decal sheet out there somewhere for it have a copy somehere in the externsl HD. Will look it up when i get home and see if i can tell you who made it. Or you can wait until i make tgas from several photos to slap on a TW model (J to be specific). Can forward then if you want, but it will be a bit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

+daddyairplanes 10,281 Posted October 25, 2013 some to close out the week...... did you know someone had the bright idea that white letters would be less conspicuous than black? dont know which is cooler in this photo. i do know the placement of the tail slimer on the TMF S made that a b*&ch to decal. ramp ride anyone? and here's to the thread about Sparrows on the inner pylons. the antennea down the length of the missle body makes me think its not a Shrike...
