+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 Bitburg Wing King in 1986. i believe it has to do with American German Tricentennial (still wrapping my head around that one) i think i got it close, but would like to get it better. Esp since DCS didnt bother with it 3 Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 the only one i was able to find is this one here http://miprofiles.unblog.fr/2018/03/27/f-15-eagle/ the side is in french 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 much appreciated between that and other research, have figured out it was the Skyblazers patch from the F-105 era. although in the photo i think it doesnt actually have the skyblazer name. now i can jimmy up a better scratch decal though Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 way better than before, tho still unsure if the skyblazer title was on. ravenclaws posted profile says yes, ABpic's library and other real photos say no. so i did options for both available as will be released Quote
+ravenclaw_007 Posted July 14, 2021 Posted July 14, 2021 here is a picture of 1:32 decal set showing the same logo and an other drawing from the right side showing on the inlet the 36th TFW logo 1 Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 (edited) Thank you, on teh decal it appears there is some writing but not in red, and i dont think its "Skyblazers". but zooming in wrecks the detail. i will keep it as is for now that bottom pic isnt totally correct, as they were a TACTICAL Fighter Wing at the time. but i got that already from the disc insignia for even earlier in teh Bitburg era that lasso tool can be useful sometimes sadly, i think i will have the most correct version, but to add it in with the line birds the placement has to be somewhat off (mesh issues). alot of the profile arts are just abit off from the photos, and DCS didnt even bother with the Skyblazer logo on the left. cant speak to FSX (if they even have this skin debating a what if reconstituted Skyblazers tho, that could be all the wing kings and insignia on skin.......

+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 i think thats the same image i used to make the one displayed in lod viewer above! Quote
+daddyairplanes Posted July 14, 2021 Author Posted July 14, 2021 thank you everyone for the assistance scientific wild ass guess, but this is how it will release (best judgement from provided pics and my own google fu). damn near completely scratch made (ok plane silhouettes are from patch, and i didnt draw Europe ) but i will be doing the 1986 Skyblazer Reunion Team ..... 2 Quote
