Model Forum / General / Models / April 2004xf-92 colors in "Jet pilot" movie
I'm intend to build xf-92 model, but I have enough of white on x-planes. I,ve seen this picture: http://www.edwards.af.mil/gallery/images/yeager-planes/xf92a-4_072.jpg (taken from http://www.edwards.af.mil/gallery/yeager/cover.htm ) What You think, what are the colors of this plane? I'm thinking about red and black. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance Piotr >What You think, what are the colors of this plane? >I'm thinking about red and black. I'm thinking maybe a little more towards orange, like an international orange, for visibility. I like the "nameplate" on the fin. I wonder what the reason for this paint job was..... -- John The history of things that didn't happen has never been written. . - - - Henry Kissinger > I'm intend to build xf-92 model, but I have enough of white on x-planes. > I,ve seen this picture: > http://www.edwards.af.mil/gallery/images/yeager-planes/xf92a-4_072.jpg > (taken from http://www.edwards.af.mil/gallery/yeager/cover.htm ) > What You think, what are the colors of this plane? > I'm thinking about red and black. I always thought it was grey and black; I could have sworn one of the UK model magazines, probably Scale Aviation Modeller International, covered it in their recent "When Edwards met Hollywood" issue. If I remember I'll try and dig it out. Are you planning to build it from the Hawk / Testors 1:72 kit?

Had to go back on Google to find the start of this thread and have this to add; I have Jet Pilot on tape and don't recall seeing the XF-92 anywhere. All the 'Russians' are F-80s/T-33s in black and blue camo -- Chuck Ryan CSRZ28@REMOVEearthlink.net Springfield OH > Had to go back on Google to find the start of this thread and have this to > add; > I have Jet Pilot on tape and don't recall seeing the XF-92 anywhere. All the > 'Russians' are F-80s/T-33s in black and blue camo Anyway, there are pictures of XF-92 in this camouflage. Thank you all for answers. -- Greetings Piotr > I always thought it was grey and black; I could have sworn one of the UK > model > magazines, probably Scale Aviation Modeller International, covered it in > their recent "When Edwards met Hollywood" issue.

The article profile shows the 102 painted up for its role in the movie "Toward the Unknown". Bill Shuey > Are you planning to build it from the Hawk / Testors 1:72 kit? No, this is my resin copy of german vacuformed kit -- Greetings Piotr |
