Just posted these here and at Flightsim.com.
61-0116 from the 23rd TFW at Takhli. Lost in July 1966, pilot KIA. From a drawing on Wings Palette. The pilot's name is fictional - I couldn't find a record of the actual name.
61-0100 from the 49th TFW, Spangdahlem 1964. Currently displayed at Fort Worth TX.
62-4234 from the 355th TFW, Takhli, summer 1965. Lost December 1968, pilot MIA.
Because the model has the turbine air cooling scoops introduced from 1965 as part of Safety Packet II, following a spate of engine fires in the early 1960's, there is a degree of 'artistic licence' in these paints! Which is why I wasn't going to publish them. Also the paint kit is 'challenging' to work with, the underwing national insignia particularly so, and I wanted to improve them as far as I could. Still I got pursuaded.....!
Hope you enjoy them!

PS - if anyone has any comments on accuracy let me know and I'll do the necessary.
