Jeffysan Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Me too, Casey. I'd like the camo version, please. Send me a PM & I'll provide whatever delivery info & reimbursement you need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Not wanting to offend anyone currently serving but, Black and Green on the war machine was the only cool paint job I have ever seen on the Talons. Thats the way I want mine please. Also no beacon on the vertical stab, and the bars and stars were darkened as was all the insignia. Looks awesome Casey. I'll send you my address. Thanks.

Guest Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Are there any additional marking you would like? Is the background image okay? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Davenport Posted December 22, 2009 Share Posted December 22, 2009 Casey I copied an pasted these prof's to everyone in the community I know. The only comment -- DIRCM blisters or forward brow missile warners missing -- my thinking there were so many different mod's and de-mod's that you have to stop somewhere and I think you are there. There are a lot of want's out there for one or both prints. Please post a way to order and payment. I will pass along. FTI -- I want both! Great Job I wouldn't change a thing.

Casey Sorry Casey wish I did -- however, it was just one of the many Mods -- Everyone, say's go for what you have it is GREAT! Now how do we order them??

Guest Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 Good deal. I'm doing a few finishing touches on it and then I will goto the printer for a test print. I'm also setting up a shopping cart system to allow ordering using a paypal account or credit card via paypal. Casey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RClark Posted December 24, 2009 Share Posted December 24, 2009 I agree with Skip they both look great.

Skip Davenport Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Skip are these what you were refering to? Want me to add them? Mongo, you want them? Casey -- I would swap the middle 8SOS with the last patch 7SOS & maybe add the AFSOC patch -- What do they look like in camo? either way they look GREAT! I want one.

mongo Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 I actually like the patches also. Hey Skip didn't we also sport the USAFE patch with the 7th in Germany? maybe that was just us knuckle draggers. Great link by RClark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want one. Thanks and Merry Christmas I just added the AFSOC patch but I am hesitant to swap the 7th and 8th patches because the 1st and 8th are the same shape. It looks unbalanced if I swap them as you suggested but I will swap them if you insist. As for camo patches, I would have to have some reference images and would have to create them from scratch. If you would prefer, I'll do it. Did RClarks linked image show the DIRCUM blisters you wanted or were you talking about something else?

Skip Davenport Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 Just let me know what you want and I will get it done. If you add USAFE you would also have to add PACAF and TAC -- I would go with just AFSOC and the 1SOW or just the Sq patch's. The only reason I suggested swaping the 8th and 7th patch was for numerical order. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2009 Share Posted December 26, 2009 I moved the patches around but it just looked odd, so I moved them back. I also did some work to try to better define the panels since the paint is so dark, added the AFSOC patch, Combat Talon lettering, and drop shadows to the aircraft, patches and lettering. Unless there are any objections, I will get some printed up and ready to ship. [ATTACH]726[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Davenport Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 (edited) Casey That's not the old 8SOS patch -- the curved part extends straight up/down sorta like a rectangle with a curved top and bottom. I don't have the capability to copy one of mine but will ask around and see if I can get one or maybe someone on here can get one to you sooner. emailed one to you try this link they have the color one + camo and desert http://www.usafpatches.com/photo/thumbnails.php?album=72&page=4 Edited December 27, 2009 by Skip Davenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 Fixed. I should have caught that. I also changed the patch border color to black. [ATTACH]728[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skip Davenport Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) I can't tell in proof but just FYI the circle around the bird is blue (the colors represent: Yellow -- sun, Blue the Sky -- Black -- on the body and top wing -- night as we mostly fly at night and the White -- daylight) that said. I know that I am getting picky now. But how about adding the 1 + Blackbirds ie: COMBAT TALON I BLACKBIRDS Just a thought Edited December 28, 2009 by Skip Davenport Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mongo Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 (edited) Geez you are getting Picky! I would like mine to say BLACKBIRDS also MC-130E COMBAT TALON 1 BLACKBIRDS Edited December 28, 2009 by mongo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffysan Posted December 28, 2009 Share Posted December 28, 2009 While we're picking fly sh*t out of pepper..... I believe the 1st & 7th patches actually read 1st Special Operations Sq &/or 7th Special Operations Sq on the lower banners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
