Scotsman Posted November 20, 2019 Share Posted November 20, 2019 (edited) Naval Bucs were Extra Dark Sea Grey by in large , in the later days an all over scheme , but to begin with over white , RAF Aircraft , like the one I'm planning were Dark Grey over Green, initially with Light Aircraft Grey under surfaces, but after first trip to Red Flag the Green/Grey want full wrap around.The Early FAA S1s started off with an all over Anti-flash Gross white , just to be awkward Of course there was the operation Granby,(Gulf War 1) when a Temport(very) sand finish was applied, and at the very end of their career in 93 or so so weht all over medium grey The great "What if" of the Buc story is the attempt , almost successful, to sell the Bug to Germany as a maritime strike aircraft , but for some reason to do with the rather fast and loose business practices of Lockheed at the time , the F-104G was selected instead, Might be nice to do a What if in 72 of an MFG-1 Buc with a pair of Kormarans.. but that's a story for another day! Yes.. I've been studying! Edited November 20, 2019 by Scotsman nmayhew 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
