    JASDF Liveries

    在 F-16C

    发布于

    ED changed the 370 gallons external tank argument in the description.lua file, i've updated all my F-16 liveries download them again if you want to see the correct external fuel tanks... Or, you can simply change every occurences of "Tank_370" and replace them with "F_16_Tank_370" in the description.lua file.

    Have fun in the virtual skies! 🙂

    @Akatsuki, have you tried looking up plastic scale model decals?

    Something like this.  I got the next two images from: HobbySearch Military Plastic Model Store (1999.co.jp) 

    For a given model kit, that site oftentimes attaches photos of the box art, the various sprues, and pointedly the instructions which will include decal and painting maps like below.  (I shrunk this photo since I'm merely trying to convey the idea.)

    You'll want the instruction sheets from the kits versus the after-market decals.  While that might seem counter-intuitive, the aftermarket decals tend to be only the special markings, not the "mundane" stencils that come with the base kit.

    Cross-reference the above maps to walk-around photos and maybe a really detailed "box review" that shows the decal sheet in detail.  Like below, but in better detail.  1/32 scale and 1/48 scale would be best for legibility.  1/72 and 1/144 are extremely small and on the edge of legibility even when handling the actual decal sheet.  So, if you find a detailed shot of decal "38", then you'll be able to copy paste to all locations marked "38".

    That yellow placard you mention has two diagrams and bubble call outs.  I interpret the upper half to be the underside of the F-4 "flying" lower left to upper right.  The lower half appears to be an upper view with the F-4 pointed from upper right to lower left.  This is the best I can find:

    Finally, and I buried the lead here, try Japanese "walk arounds".  Most spotters take overall photos.  Only scale modellers (or digital artists) are taking crazy zoomed in shots of Do Not Walk stencils and brake line fittings.  I got that yellow placard shot from this guy:

    NABE3's Aviation Photo Gallery (fc2.com)

    Look under the Walk Arounds > Japanese > F-4EJ, RF-4E, etc, etc.  There's several good shots of the undersides of the outer wing surfaces and the forward fuselage.  As amazing as they are, you might still need a combination of these and the decal maps to get the full surfaces.  Nabe3 also has decades worth of squadron marking in addition to the walk around photos. 

    Another of my favorites is:

    J-HangarSpace: Information on Japanese Aviation

    This is great English language source for unit histories, unit marking, etc for Japanese aviation subjects.  (In case you're like me and don't read the kanji and katakana.)

     

    Thank you for taking the time to reply this precisely.

    But i already have all these references, some are partly readable. I have a relatively good idea of where they're all located but i can't read the texts, so it cannot be transcribed.

    To give you an idea of what i'm doing, here's a screenshot of a PSD file that i did:

    And i have this done for everything except most of the wings...

    Once completed i'll share it for those who wants.

    I started doing the stencils for the F-4EJ but I have trouble findings reference pictures or diagram for the upper and lower wings as well as bottom fuselage. I have some but the text is unreadable. So if someone knows a website or have pictures with such references, please share. 🙂

    I'm looking for readable japanese stencils and also i'm looking for a good ref for that yellow placard on the front right fuselage near the front wheel well.
