Carried the yellow, black, and red VFA-213 insignia on the outsides of both tails. In some cases, the right-side insignia had the eagle facing forward, and other times facing aft. Carried the red, white, and blue VF-1 insignia on the outsides of both tails.
SUPERCAL DECAL MOVIE
The Tomcats used in the movie had uncommon-style 'RESCUE' arrows, with the letters stacked, and so these have been provided. Stencilling and data markings were standard lo-viz (available in many commercially-produced decal sheets). For these decals, only the Bureau Numbers of the VF-51 and -111 aircraft were availalbe ("Tomcat Alley" by David Brown).Īll appear to have been painted in some variation(s) of the Tactical Paint Scheme, and were heavily weathered CVW-15 had just returned home after a 6-month WESTPAC not long before shooting began, and the jets still showed the abuse. Scenes filmed at Miramar, CA, and Fallon, NV, were done with Tomcats provided by VF-51 and VF-111, and on the USS Enterprise, from VF-114 and VF-213. Aircraft from Maverick's and Cougar's squadron used tail markings based on the West Coast Hawkeye RAG, VAW-110, while Iceman's came from a Hornet squadron, VFA-25. The F-14s seen in the movie carried fictitious markings never worn by real-life Tomcat squadrons. Hopefully this will make sure everyone is able to build the most accurate representations possible: It's a textual reference guide, and visual placement guide, for Jared's awesome markings. I've been wanting to get this posted for more than a couple of weeks now, but it took awhile to finish up the graphical portion of it. I'm not an all knowing print goru but this is what I've seen. Laserjet print better and at a lower cost than an InkJet printer. You won't see a big differance in the sharpness of the images so much as the qulity of print. My LaserJet can print to at about 600 dpi. You won't see differance in you injet between setting a file at 150 and 150,000 dpi It's just take a long time to print. Most Injet Printers max out at about 150 dpi. And man, you are sharing your work with everybody. Thank you very much for the time you have invested in the Top Gun decals. Also, what is the resolution of your printer? No one ahs ever been able to explain it to me. colors that the printer doesn´t have to screen. I have heard that there is supposed to be "clean" colors, i.e. The printer has used a screen type of pattern with two distinctly different colors that are meant to be one. When you have tried using you color printer, can you tell us how it went? I have seen some people try it but it has always turned out a bit disappointing. Just read this form and you'll see were everything should go, or did go in one shot. Sometime if the decals are ever declared correct I might do one. Edited Decemby Jared BishopĪs for an instruction sheet.
If after any corrections and fine tuning is done I’ll look into getting some printed up on an ALPS printer.Īs for an instruction sheet. So for now you’re on your own to get these printed. I have a color laserjet printer so I’m going to try that out. I’ve heard that you can also use a color copier to print decals. I haven’t talked to them yet about print but I’d want make sure that all of these sheets are accurate. There is someone in my club that has access to one. So you can paint the area white first then apply the decal, use a white decal from another sheet (lots of WWII aircraft have them), print on white decal paper, or find someone that has an ALPS Printer. Ifyou use the eagle tail art decal you see that there is white. I do know that SuperCal Decals does offer a white decal sheet. I did a bit of looking around and I’ve seen two different companies offer blank decal sheets. They are at a high enough resolution that I don’t think an ink jet printer can take advantage of anything larger. These files can be opened up in Adobe PDF. Due to the 200 character limit I could only fit the numbers.
