Microscale (later Superscale)
produced many sheets of relevance to USAF modellers.
This one covers a number of RF-4C’s, being as
follows:-
·
RF-4C 65-0897 of the 192nd
TRS, 152nd TRG of the Nevada ANG, marked
out for the “Photo Finish” meeting in November 1981.
The aircraft had a white fin and rudder, with “High
Rollers” marked on the fin in red , “Reno” in red on
the rudder and a white/red/blue flash on the leading
edge of the fin. The aircraft is in the wrap-around
SEA scheme of FS34079/FS34102/FS30219;
·
RF-4C 64-1063 “KY” of the 165th
TRS, 123rd TRW, Kentucky ANG in May 1982
as marked for the Best Focus 82 photo meet. The
aircraft has a white fin and rudder with a depiction
of the US flag and a bald eagle, and “Kentucky” in
blue on the fin. Again, the aircraft is in the
wraparound SEA scheme;
·
RF-4C 64-0050 of the 173rd
TRS, 155th TRG, Nebraska ANG. Green fin
and rudder with “Lincoln” on the rudder in gold and
“Nebraska” on the fin. National insignia are in
black, and the aircraft is in the wraparound SEA
scheme;
·
RF-4C 65-0828 of the 173rd
TRS, 155th TRG, Nebraska ANG, marked for
the Photo Finish meet in November 1981. Green fin
with “Nebraska” in gold and a blue/yellow flash on
the fuselage. The aircraft is in the standard SEA
scheme, with grey undersides (FS36622).
The markings are printed in
register and look good, with thin transfer film.
Microsoft provide 2 full sets of stencilling, one in
black and one in white. Having used Microscale
stencils in the past, these appear better than other
sheets I’ve seen.
LH side views are provided for
each aircraft, together with LH, top and bottom
camouflage scheme drawings. In addition, Microscale
provide stencilling instructions, although these are
difficult to read as they are quite small.
I plan to use at least one set
of these (65-0828) on one of my 2 in progress
RF-4C’s so keep an eye on the OOB.
