Alpha/Virtavia F-4B/J,

Wo-hoooo!
Great stuff there, mate! :applause:

Any plans to revamp the "E/F" model (pack 2) too?
There're some German Fighter Wings longing for appropriate skins... :jump:

Cheers,
Markus.
 
Am going to enjoy that NAS Atlanta bird + will want to do some TNG's over at nearby KNBC etc. That tail paint scheme was also similar to that of an RA-5C squadron based at Atlanta I think.

Any intention to "dirty up" the look e.g., with grease marks or weathering effects?
 
Thanks Markus and expat.

Markus - I've given some thought to re-do the F-4E/Fs but it may be awhile if I do. The Cloud 9 bird has that covered pretty well. If I re-do another the near future it would be the RF. I have a couple of former RF driver friends who are intersted in a couple of VMFP-2 and 3 birds. If I can get the stock paintkit to look as good as you made those German Fs look I may even skip that.

expat - I probably won't skuzzie up that Atlanta bird any more than it is for a couple for reasons. During the time it flew I had relatively easy acess (through proper chanels) to Dobbins AFB/ NAS Atlanta and I can tell you that the Jarheads and Swabbies took very good care of their birds. Secondly, the Marines only had their F-4s for about a year before they were taken away (rumor has it for terroriziing the commercial approaches to KATL by stalking and tracking the big jets for "training"! !) and swapped for OV-10s. So, even if they weren't treated with TLC, the Marines didn't have 'em long enough to get 'em dirty! BTW - I don't think RA-5's were ever based in Atlanta - at least not on the ground. On paper? Maybe. NAS went from A-4s to A-7s to A and KA-6s to FA-18s

Not to worry though. Lots more birds to do from the late 60's early 70's that saw plenty of action and didn't have time to get washed between sorties!.

Thanks, mate - but I did German RFs (pack 3) yet.
The fighters still are on hold.
But I've just found out that pack 1 (F-4B/J) and pack 2 (F-4E/F) share the same mapping. Would there be any chance for me to get hold of your (obviously gorgeous!) paint kit "as is" to apply it to the E/F-model (German paints only - the US NAVY stays yours)?

Cheers,
Markus.

Sorry for the bump, but, my Lord! I put this paint on my FSX plane, and in a word...
Superlative!
I wish my VMFA-251 version looked half this good...Thank You, Sir!...Don
 
She's a beauty, Duckie... Looking forward to being able to fly her! Found it, downloading as we speak. How did I miss this one??

Hey, Duckie! I just noticed a mention of a Pack 1/2 paint kit. Available?
"Fightertown East" F-4 Sqdns from the early-mid '70s would be awesome to have.
I was TDY VMFA-333, then permanent VMFA-251(my avatar) and VMFA-122 successively. VMFA-312 and VMFA-451 were also on station at that time.

Thanks again...Don

Hi Don, several 251 F-4s are on the list, and if you haven't seen them, look up Gus Robatto at Flight Sim and Avsim for his repaints of VMFA-333. This repaint is the one that lit my fire on the A/V F-4s!
