VF-143 PUKIN' DOGS: TAPROOM 102 - USN F-4J Phantom in the Vietnam War This decal sheet from AOA
Decals covers one specific F-4J Phantom (BuNo 155887) as she appeared during three Vietnam cruises while with the same squadron (VF-143 Pukin' Dogs, callsign "Taproom") and also same modex each time (102). Not a MiG killer, just one example of the many, many other Phantoms that took part in the war daily. The Pukin' Dogs Vietnam F-4B's have been covered in decal form before (again, because of MiG kills), their later wartime F-4Js have been neglected until now. Three Marking Options Included:
Unlike vast majority of AOA releases, only the minimal stenciling/common markings are provided. F-4's were liberally covered with stencils and is too large of a project to be covered for this release. The 3 Phantoms on this decal sheet are the same aircraft during 3 different deployments in it's combat career. The colorful markings will make into an excellent looking Phantom. You can buy this decal sheet directly from AOA Decals. Steve Bamford |
