I finally got round to finishing the F-104 Tiger Meet model. Alignment came out surprisingly correct (for a test build). Here some pictures. B |

Gorgeous F-104 Bruno!
You're very brave, misalignment have always been my biggest fear when repainting airplanes. Congratulations! Ronan

The USAF Phantoms were also used as bomb trucks. But Operation Bolo was a dedicated Air superiority operation where the F-4C of 8th TFW used routes, procedures and radio calls from F-105 units to lure the north-vietnamese MiGs into a trap.
The VMFA-321 Phantom is from a reserve unit that didn't deploy to SEA. They replaced their Crusaders with Phantoms in 1973. That Tiger looks so pretty!

Thanks once more for your kind words. (I know I don't say thanks all the time, but be assured that I do appreciate all the kind remarks. and the constructive ones)
I actually saw this plane for real when I was a kid (11 years). My father had been squadron leader of the 31st "Tiger" squadron in Kleine Brogel (Belgium) a few years earlier so we had a rather VIP treatment during our visit. It will make a nice present for father's day. |

I can't believe it...
Would be the beginning of a Meteor family? |

Every day I pray that Bruno began to paint their models to the new. While the gods of scissors and paper do not hear my prayers. I decided to dare, and humbly offer a new way of painting models. It seems to me - so much better. I hope you share my point of view.
The picture shows the same detail to the "classic" version, and "advanced" version. |

Thanks guys for your suggestions but looking for more information i found just what i need.
I googled "Phantom ii in vietnam" and I found a Wikipedia page where i see this picture. and the title is " F-4B VF-111 dropping bombs on Vietnam", and in the Bruno's bundle there is this Perfect! Dilemma solved! Thanks for your help. Now I can start my build. Best, Nando
