Well, it is time to put some placeholders for the models I plan to complete before I die! Links to be added as I post the subjects. Three each in 32nd and 72nd scales. This sandbagger has done some work already. Click...

@centaur567, Gary... Does the scribbling make sense or is it just graffiti?

Well one looks like a back up gun site! The numeric over alphabet note looks like a key to a cypher or key.

From a Cobra Pilot book I read they would put frequencies and way points on the canopy. Its a very interesting photo Saul. A lot of extra detail there.

I have a set of masks for the canopies, both outside and inside. The inside parts can be used in conjunction with clear decal paper and if the black ink is a touch translucent, BONUS, as it better replicates marker or grease pen.

Also note that it is on the WSO cabin's front and starboard but not port. WSO enters from the port side so it might rub off...

Like they said, it's probably something to do with the assigned mission. Our guys never did that as far as I know. The teeth on the Fourth Cav. ship are not the original pattern that we used.And don't forget to tint the canopy light blue. Gary S.

This is another neat scheme. Gary S.
