+Wrench Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 Actually, I think you're looking for this one 2 Quote
crisisloaner Posted January 6, 2022 Author Posted January 6, 2022 nope,I think my attempt has the correct markings and is nearer the colour of the original Only jesting as I know who the REAL talents are on this site and I ain't one of them ! 1 1 Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 6, 2022 Posted January 6, 2022 I got this MiG-15 foam glider toy in 1978. I think I have the entire set of gliders. Look at the paint job given to it by famous aviation artist Lou Drendel: 4 Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 This is the entire collection. The F-15 wasn't part of the "Tiger Squadron" glider collection, but I found it in a store years later with almost the same scale and style as the rest of the set, so I bought it. 4 Quote
+whiteknight06604 Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 spent many hours as a kid with the F-86 and MiG-15 in my back yard . Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 I wanted the skin from the glider on my MiG-15bis in DCS World... only to discover that Lou Drendel had adapted it from a fictional skin from a movie as I found the skin for a MSFS F-84 mod after combing the web for information. I was disappointed to learn that no MiG-15s actually flew with this skin, especially over Korea in combat. So, I find this post most entertaining as I could have used this information some time ago instead of searching endlessly for history that didn't exist. I agree with the original poster, his skin is a more accurate representation of the actual "Casey Jones" skin, even if it was only used in a mediocre Hollywood movie. I would still like to see Lou Drendel's MiG-15bis rendition of this skin on my DCS World MiG-15bis. Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Apparently, there is a "Casey Jones" mission in a DCS World F-86 Korea campaign, but I can't see a custom skin for it in this dark video from that mission: 1 Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Someone else is a "Casey Jones" fan, too: F-84 F Thunderstreak “Mig-Double” von Italeri in 1:48 | Stuttgart-Modellbau Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 More stuff on "Casey Jones": apparently some of the original movie footage was used for the "Airwolf" TV show: F-84F Thunderstreak | Airwolf Wiki | Fandom Quote
+streakeagle Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 Finally, this is where I originally found out the source of inspiration for the Lou Drendel "7-11 Honcho" MiG-15bis on my toy glider: A Paint Request Please (sim-outhouse.com) Quote
crisisloaner Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 how's this ? must be lucky as I made it home in this state ! 2 1 Quote
+Wrench Posted January 7, 2022 Posted January 7, 2022 just to let you know, mine is taken directly from scenes taken from the movie. DVDs are nice to pause and study still images. Yes, in the film the T-Streaks are a sort of light grey, but I didn't feel like building a template for it and redrawing all the panel and rivet lines. I know I uploaded in sometime in 2019, but can't seem to find it. Maybe in "The Hunters" F-86, as a hidden bonus???? I know I did it for the stock 3W MiG-15 as well What's interestering in the film, (as can be seen in the shots CL posted), they carrying Soviet markings, not NK. Quote
crisisloaner Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 It's not in the F-86 "hunters" pack and I have the Mig 15 which has NK markings....I don't have your uploaded T'streak and i download pretty much everything posted ! Maybe it was in an older pack you have updated and replaced ? Quote
crisisloaner Posted January 7, 2022 Author Posted January 7, 2022 New colour...same result ! I think the original jets were light grey but appeared blue-grey in the sunlight...that's my excuse anyway 1 Quote
