Welcome to Flag Plot




By now everyone knows Photobucket has changed & 3rd party posting costs some bucks. For better or worse, we all want free. So, I've got a blog.  I'm hoping to post pictures here & link them to various forums & web-sites.  This is a crude work in progress. If the picture linking works out, I'll try & make the this place suitable for company.  Seems to be working: so far so good!

Here's where I'll add misc. pictures for linking to other websites & forums:

  Fujimi 1/72 scale F-4E Phantom II This is the F-4E (non slat wing) Fujimi kit built as F-4E-35-MC 67-308 of the 469th TFS/ 388th TFW in SEA camo scheme. Miss Betty Lou, here, was the mount of Wing Commander Col. A.K. MacDonald sporting the tail code: JV-308 circa 1969. The load out with fuse extenders & rocket pods is clearly for a close-air support or battlefield interdiction sortie. The Hasegawa weapons set I provided the "world of hurt" soon to come. (I'm sure you can think of more Vietnam era clichés). The decals are from the ancient Microscale sheet 72-112 USAF Vietnam Phantoms. Decals for AIM-7s are from the Hasegawa weapons set III.
