How well are you doing? I would like to build that B747. I hope it goes very well for you.

postscript: I wonder what the laser weapon will look like

Hello here again

I just made another recolor of the 1/300 scale F-22 Raptor with another Ace Combat marking

This time bearing Mobius 1's ISAF 118 Tactical Fighter Wing camouflage and markings as it appears as his latter's aircraft in Ace Combat 04: Shattered Skies, released back in 2001.



Mobius 1 is the Playable Character and Silent Protagonist of the said game, which earns the nickname of "Grim Reaper" and "Ribbon Fighter" on the latter part. Here's the photo of his aircraft with exact livery in Ace Combat: Infinity for refined detail for reference purpose below (photo taken from acecombat.fandom)




Here's my recolored template of it in 1/300 scale. I hope you like my new recolor and lemme know if there's any flaws about it, peace

Thank you Waylon!

On my end, here is an F-15A in the first scheme of Air Superiority Blue. It didn't last long before being replaced by the Compass Ghost 2 tone gray scheme (starting with F-15A 73-0100 and TF-15A 74-0137). Not sure the 58th TTW badge should be on both intakes but Caracal doesn't provide any 555th TFTS badge on their early F-15A decal sheet. The 58th TTW badge is definitely present on the right intake of 090 and the left intake of 092 (none on the other side) and 094.

The 555th FS is now flying F-16C/D block 40 from Aviano, Italy (tail code AV), as part of the 31st Fighter Wing assigned to USAFE.

The then 58th Tactical Training Wing is now the 58th Special Operations Wing controlling 5 squadrons flying the UH-1H/TH-1H (in Alabama, 23rd FTS), the UH-1N (36th SOS in Washington State and 512th RS New Mexico), the HH-60G (512th RS in New Mexico), the CV-22 (71st SOS in New Mexico), and the HC-130J/MC130J (415th SOS in New Mexico). It's still a training wing, this time assigned to AETC (Air Education and Training Command)

You’re Welcome Cafe

About the markings of your ASB F-15A, the 58th TTW badges are really on both sides of the intakes based from what I have seen on the photos from hataka-hobby as well as on pinterest (serial no. 73-0090)

*I’m also planning on making a recolor of F-15As tho, either the “Anti-Satellite killer (76-0084)” or the “First Responder of 9/11 (77-0102)” markings hehehehe

Apart from more ANG Eagles (Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, possibly Louisiana), my F-15 projects are a "Candy Cane Air Force" example and one from 5th FIS. But all of this is purely theoretical at the moment.

(Actually, Massachusetts should have been part of the 1st batch with California & Oregon).

What do you think?

It is a livery very different from the usual ones that I see in the F-15 but it looks very interesting

Good livery as far as I could say, very accurate when it comes to placements

that sounds to me like the air force that protects the santa claus factory (and also another model)

Hello here again

I’m just wondering what is the color of the Air National Guard F-15As/Bs during the 9/11 attacks? Was it the “Mod Eagle” scheme or a “Ghost Grey” scheme? I’m quite confused tho when seeing the pictures hehehehehe

*The reason why I’m questioning this is because I want to make a recolor of the F-15A “First Responder” Eagle (s/n 77-0102) of the 102nd Fighter Wing, whom approached the World Trade Center after the Flight 11 hits

May the Soul Rest in Peace for the victims
