LSP_Paul Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 Well I had planned to do a diorama of my brother having his photo taken after his last "Night Owl" mission standing on the cockpit railing with a sign showing his "Mission Count". I guess it depends on how long the 105 takes I just happened to remember the 104 in my stash and hadn't heard anyone throwing out it's name. I wanna start NOW! Jack Trust me Jack, I know how ya feel... A LOT of us want May to get here yesterday! I don't even have my kits yet and I want to start.. I am going to be cleaning up both work bench's, one for me, one for Teresa just to stay busy. We all have references to get together.. etc etc. Hang in there.

phantom Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Right now I am planning on doing one F-4 (not sure of version) and a A-7D. If I get the time maybe a third plane. Mike LSP_Paul 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSP_Paul Posted April 5, 2014 Author Share Posted April 5, 2014 What sort of info are ya looking for on Air Force A-7Ds? Just general info . I found a bunch about their time in Thailand. Was looking for a "notable" plane or event to build a plane to represent it If I did one. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade rowlands Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Good Choice Ade! Paul Yeah just had to check first that it was those decals I had gotten a hold of and not some other ones I was tempted by when I got the kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It has some good first person stuff from Air Force A-7 drivers in there. I built my 1/48 A-7D off of photos in there of a shark mouthed SLUF. I will see if I can dig up some online photos of it. I cant think of any notable AF A-7s or incidents, but a Navy one does come to mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbetty Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 there is a very nice sluf with a funny sharkmouth (actually look like a set of third teeth), can find the pic at the moment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloorwestSiR Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 found it from the "airwar in SE asia pt 3" squadron book Two Bobs does/did a decal sheet with those markings on it. They have a bit more behind the history of those markings as well. Apparently they lasted for only a couple days. Carl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
