I found this site on the web today. It's pretty good, even has a section for RAAF squadrons! Only a couple of F-4 shots though...

Thanks a lot. I have been trying to find out what colour the tips of the fuel tanks should be. Now I know - red

I cannot decide whether to go with the kit instructions of only the missile armed version (Sparrows and Sidewinders) or go with the bomb armed version without Sidewinders. The markings are for the missile armed MIG killer version, so I will probably leave the bombs of for the next Vietnam kit

If there are no objection to another close air support bird, I would like to join with another A-37 Dragonfly. I have had my eye on building this for quite awhile now, and this campain gives me the perfect reason. It would be 1/48th, the old Revel boxing.

Got some more of my Mig done today the camoflage is on and I should hopefully get the decals on next weekend. This was my first attempt at this sort of camoflage with an airbrush and it took me just over an hour and a half to spray the camoflage lines on it (ended up cross eyed and a sore wrist but i think it was worth it) any comments welcome.

Yes, finally it is possible to enlist HERE

Due to all the delay in enlisting I will be flexible about the end date if somebody will need it. However, as things are progressing it does not seem that many participants will end any extension

"Teams of scout and attack helicopters in highly effective "pink teams", such as OH-6 "Loach" or OH-58 Kiowa scout helicopters and the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter during the Vietnam War "

So people, is anyone doing a Hunter-Killer team??

Hi all!

I´m in a little embarresment right now!

I got my Tiger Wings decals for the MiG-19, and let´s say it has been reassigned to another airforce.
In this package there was markings for a Pakistanian MiG-19C I just can´t resist!

I have not found any interesting schemes for the MiG-19 in NV, only NMF with insignias in six plaxes and red nose numbers, quite boring.

With the MiG-17 it´s another story, plenty of cool schemes for the NV here!
Here´s the scheme I have coosen for my MiG-17;

http://www.geocities.com./alvmaia/Mig/17f/17Fviet4.gif

Sooo.... I have to change my mount here, still a MiG from Trumpeter, Still North Vietnam, still 1/32 but a MiG-17 (Sam and Harold, I´ll be joining you soon).
Hope It´s OK with you all!

For some ideas for schemes on MiG´s, take a look here;

Hi Stefan

No problem. I am looking forward to see the finished MiG-17 in the new colorful camo.

However, You will still get a Sidewinder up your tailpipe from my F-4 :-) :-)
