JJAWS product # 32-004 Review by Steve Bamford on Oct 22 2004 |
--------------------
|
This new decal sheet from Zotz Decals features 3 different American F-4's with sharks mouths. The decal sheet is contained on 2 separate decal sheets and contains all the unique markings of these 3 special Phantoms. Stencils are also included in this decal sheet and each of the F-4's on this sheet also has nose art of some sort. |
|
| This is another fine decal sheet from Eli Raphael at Zotz decals. The first jet is "Sweetie Pie", an F-4E-35-MC based at Korat AB, Thailand in July 1969. This jet was flown by Major Lem Jones and Capt. Duane Tway with the 34th TFS with the 388th TFW. The camo is a 3 colour SEA scheme (FS 30219 light brown, FS 34102 green and FS 34079) on top and light grey FS 36622 on the underside. The are 2 types of sharks mouth featured on these jets. This jet has the bolder sharks mouth with bigger teeth and a more open mouth. Artwork is a white cloud on both sides with the red words in script "Sweetie Pie". On the left side is white outline of a standing naked(?) lady. | |

The second jet is "T.D. s TEELOC",
an F-4E-34-MC based at Korat AB, Thailand in April 1970. This jet
was flown by Major T.D. Smith and Capt. Larry Johnson with the 34th TFS
with the 388th TFW. TEELOC is a Thai word meaning Girlfriend, Lover
or Hooker. The camo is a 3 colour SEA scheme (FS 30219 light brown,
FS 34102 green and FS 34079) on top and light grey FS 36622 on the
underside. This jet has the milder sharks mouth with smaller teeth
and a slightly less open mouth. Artwork is a red heart with a white
outline and the words "T.D. s TEELOC" in white on the left
side.
The third jet is "EASY ROCKIN MAMA II", an F-4E-36-MC based at Korat AB, Thailand in June 1970. This jet was flown by Major George Koch and Lt. Paul Brown with the 34th TFS with the 388th TFW. The camo is a 3 colour SEA scheme (FS 30219 light brown, FS 34102 green and FS 34079) on top and light grey FS 36622 on the underside. This jet has the milder sharks mouth with smaller teeth and a slightly less open mouth. Artwork is a light blue shield with a naked blonde sitting in a rocking chair with a rifle and the red script "EASY ROCKIN MAMA II" on the left side. |
|
The 3 pages of instructions are easy to follow and should prove no problem and include FS #'s to aid in
painting.
This is an interesting decal sheet covering the colourful SEA F-4's flown
by the USAF.
