Phantoms USN/USMC, Part 14

by Shawn Phantom Weiler

--------------------

 

Almost done now, Part 15 will have to be new builds. All of these are 1/72. Mostly Hasegawa. First a USMC VMFA-333 Phantom. Next a VF-74 in the very early paint scheme. Third is VF-101 and forth back to VF-74 as it looked on the first cruise of the USS Nimitz. Notice the airwing markings of these aircraft....All CVW-8.

Last the combo of VF-142 and 143. This was the cruise which saw them leave the west coast and CVW-14 to their new home at Oceana and one cruise with CVW-8. Last a couple of USMC recon Phantoms from VMFP-3.
