Top Gun

Buy a Monogram F-5E, paint it black and put Russian markings on it. I don't know of any decal makers that make Top Gun decals.

lol i did ...i dont have any russian markings. and they dont

hummmm no one can help me out eh....

I don't think the markings for the 'MiG 28's' were standard Soviet markings.
If my memory serves me well it looked like a red star in a yellow ring.
I think Airfix did a1/72 F14 and an F5/mig 28 in top gun markings in the late 80's
I think I may still even have the F14 decal sheet somewhere

Improvise...adapt overcome..........aftermarket russian marking must be ten a penny

Hey...anybody think I was a marine....lol

Oggy thanks for helping me out !!!! if you are willing to part with e mail me

thanks

I read in that the black paint job in Top Gun was only for the movie. There are plenty of adversary decals on the market though, from kits and aftermarket.

sweet you know of any or where?...i just hought they looked cool all black

Hi Thunderbolt I still have the airfix F5 in topgun marks (built). Oggy is right just a red star in a yellow ring on the tail fin. Airfix did the F14 with both Mavericks and Icemans aircraft markings they also did the A4 with (i think) jesters markings...Gregers

I know I am just bragging, but I worked at the model shop that has the F-14 and F-5 props for the movie hanging from the ceiling. I think they were 1:4 scale or something. They were partially blown up from the shooting for Top Gun

superscale does(or did) adversary markings for the F-5's and A-4's. I have the 1/72 sheet for the ones I'm working on. I think I found them on Squadron.com

cooool do you know if they are still around to buy ? if not id like to buy them off of one of you guy if willing.

I was stationed in Fallon, Nevada after the Navy had moved Top Gun there. The F-5's are flown by VFC-13 "Fighting Saints." The Navy Strike and Air Warfare Center "NSAWC" (which encompases Top Gun) flies F/A-18A's and B's, F-14A's and SH-60's. As far as I know, Top Gun (or any Warsaw Pact States for that matter) never opperated any black F-5's as seen in "Top Gun." Check out the sites listed below. Good luck!

Here is a website with pictures of the different VFC-13 markings:

HEY !

You could also do Charlie Sheen's airplane from HOT SHOTS ! Wasn't he flying a Folland Gnat ?

thanks

I tried to do that plane many years ago (I was at high school), I can't help you on markings (i aborted during the painting phase). The plane is almost surelyu a T-38, but could also be a F-5F.
