+dtmdragon Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 (edited) Rivet Haste F-4E 'what if' skins. I'm setting up a 'what if' Linebacker II air superiority campaign but I cant decide what skin to use.... Air superiority Blue with F-15A style USAF roundels (no blue outline on the bars) - this is the same as on the first delivery F-15A Eagles: SEA and AIr Superiority Blue mix with F-15 style roundels, two variants: A: and B: Edited June 5, 2016 by dtmdragon 4 Quote
Toryu Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 Why not all of them? Rivet Haste was a "crash" programme, so they might as well have played with different camo-schemes. I actually like the mixed schemes. Definately something different! IIRC the light blue scheme was only applied to LUKE AFB F-15As ('LA' Tail) and didn't last too long? 1 Quote

+dtmdragon Posted June 5, 2016 Author Posted June 5, 2016 All it is! Lol Toryu, yes just the first 42 Luke 555th FTFS aircraft. They were re painted compass grey at thier first major service. Apparently the blue was so effective at high altitude that red & white stripes or black & white stipes or day glow orange panels were painted on many of the aircraft. 1 Quote
+Cliff7600 Posted June 5, 2016 Posted June 5, 2016 All three are great ! (early, then late tests...) Though the SEA/Blue mix B variant would be perfect for a japanese F-4EJ :^) Quote

Kind of reminds me of JG1's Bf 109G-6AS and G-14AS, which were all RLM76 (thus looking pretty similar to those early Luke F-15s) - seems to have been just as effective (they had red Reichsverteidigung-Markings, though, thus spoiling the effect): http://theprofilepaintshop.blogspot.de/2013/12/jg-1-bf109g-6as.html Funny how ideas that once have been, keep on coming back up.
