Vietnam Campaign

Might do both Air Force & A Navy ... Think I have a Showtime 100 With Legends pit shelf Queen ... But the Air Force would be a new kit ... The Navy heavily modified Showtime 100, kit will be the VF-31 F-4J Mig-Killer ... I want this one to be a tribute to my Friend "Hippy Ed" ...

Jun 21, 1972 Mig-21 F-4J, VF-31, CVW-3, CVA-60, CDR Sam Flynn
A/C No. AC 101, BuNo 157293 Lt. Bill John

On Hippie's Bird I have started engraving panel lines & legends' pit on fuse ...

Leading contenders are a F-4J or A-4 (both 1/48 Eduard boxings). The F-4 is tempting...but w/ the SEAD campaign getting the axe, I may spring for the A-4 packing Shrikes for an Iron Hand mission in tribute. :drinks

I do love the F-4 ... this kit was a Showtime 100 ... Story goes on the other place Ed & I were going to do a Mig-Killer Build. Well He picked & posted the Showtime kit before I could. So I was left to franticly find another Mig Killer ... I was also doing a U.S.S. Saratoga Flattop build (I think That ones On the shelf also) I was trying to backdate it to the Vietnam Cruise ... So when I found through My research that Sara Had a Mig-Killer to Her credit, I went with Commander Sam Flynn's bird ... I have the decals also for this one ... Somewhere ... Cheers :pilot

You going big ain't ya Paul?! :good:
 
I'm joining in. I have a Meng 1/72 scale F-102 Delta Dagger I'll be doing in the SEA camouflage pattern that they painted some of these birds in when they sent them to the 'Nam. My startup pics are posted.
 
Damn, I have been out of the loop for too long, but I am glad I saw this in time to get some stuff in the works. I have some single figure displays planned, a diorama, a M132 Flame Track, and perhaps a M113 ACAV or two. Now that I am retired, I just might be able to get a few of those done. Once I figure out what I am going to start on first, I will post it.

Cheers,
James
