Thank you, I appreciate it! I posted my request on the YAP-RW Facebook page yesterday, I included a quick representation of what the 1961 127th Family Model skin might look like. I'll really focus on it once I have temps from you. This was just a quick job to give them something to see. Still haven't gotten a response from them.

I'm extremely satisfied with the 127th TFS Camo birds......think they look great! Of course, I had to add something special on the nose of my favorite jet.....

Love the smell of napalm in the morning!

I would appreciate you sharing the temps for the YAP F's, will ask them on Facebook shortly. Would like to offer them soon, since the 127th TFS took at least 1 to Korea and had a couple statewide during Hun operations.

I would like to offer F's at some point... Please send them, this would be greatly appreciated. I'll reach out to them on FB.

Added the Kansas outline to a few of the Huns just as the 127th had on their 68-69 Deployment. Was only able to visually identify 1 aircraft by photo/tail number but counted at least 6 tails with this in photos.

I tweaked and resized the tail numbers after updating all I have been able to identify and confirm. I even added another detail to tail # 54-1935.

I've been able to identify at least 15 with 1 more possible of the 127th TFS Huns from their 1968 deployment to Korea. From a couple of the individuals I spoke with, they believe they took 24 jets, at least 1 was an F Model. So I'm still short 7, but I happy I've been able to ID this many. I'm working on finishing up the tail numbers.

Thank you! Between you and yakarov79, this one should be squared away and do it justice!

Thank you for these photos and information! I’ve spoken with an old squadron member who was on the 1968-1969 Korea Deployment. He advised he believed they had taken 1 if not 2 of the F models when they deployed. He also stated he recalled redeploying state side in June/July 1969. They had 1 of their C models get stranded in Hawaii for 7 weeks due to an engine replacement. The squadron left one of their Active Duty pilots there who turned it into a vacation for him and his wife.

This is what I’ve done for the _65 scheme. Just trying to get the fuselage swoosh, intake, and KANS AIR GUARD correct.
-
Yep, the lack of the ANG Crest was due to being federalized and brought on to Active Duty. The Kansas Outline and the Shark Teeth, from what I was told weren't on every Hun, and as you said may have been limited to just a few of them. Just trying to identify which ones, and for how long did they wear them post deployment. Would love to see the "Coming Home" photo if you can ever find it.

While researching tail #’s, I stumbled on another photo that may have changed my time line a bit for these skins. I have always heard of the 127th having shark teeth on at least a few of their Huns but hadn’t seen an actual photo of it till now. This scheme sounds as though it was post 68-69 deployment to Korea. I’m working to confirm a few things.

I corrected this....thanks for the catch!

Thanks to yakarov79, the 1968 and 1969 Era Skins are pretty much done.....he took care of the tail stripe and ANG Badge issues for me! I think they look great! Regarding the 1961 era skin: I'm pretty satisfied with it, still looking into a few things. Mainly trying to iron out when the 127th TFS operated the Huns looking like this. They were in this scheme when the unit climbed into the -100's in 1961, just not sure if they looked like this all the way till 1965 or not. The 1965 Hun skin is still in the works....Plus I am still trying to verify tail numbers.
