ddeuce 14 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The Only time you would ever see a USMC grey bird is if the airframe was transferred by bma in DC, gunmetal was Navy, OD Green Marines, diffused grey USAF...... sure you've heard of ten degrees of separation....this was it..... the only color I ever knew was OD green, emnu Black, or Brasso Brass USMC Semper Fi looks good though, their was a Black Ops unit in SE asia that flew Unmarked grey known as CIA.

rsgunner 1 Posted February 12, 2012 Author Share Posted February 12, 2012 I tried to make it like the image in this post. What can you tell us about that bird. http://forum.aerosoft.com/index.php?/topic/52551-black-pony-15-1969/ Russ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddeuce 14 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Navy Birds were a little different, SecNav had to get approval for OD green from BuOrd for land based birds as they were in combat environment, The Black Ponies all were a great group of guys....... fought well, flew well, AND threw some great beer busts for us all, many a soldier and Marine can say they owe their lives to them, although the paint scheme that is painted, I personally do not recall ever seeing one painted with the black pony (not to say it did not exist), most were painted with the ATKRON logo (red). Their is a Naval museum in South Carolina that has a Black Pony bird.... somewhere near Charleston... ( name fails me)... and I do think it has a Pony rearing on the fuse.......... Still the Gray jarhead bird looks good.......... If someone can do a BLUE ANGEL Bronco, why can't someone do a Marine Bird with Navy feathers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddeuce 14 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Someone wanna do a good bird...... VMO-2 White wingtop Black and white checkerboard pattern port and starboard, all low-vis markings OD Green (when they say olive looks darker than the olive) 55238,267,269,330,335. the bird would have red clay splash on tires gear, underflash, and rusty hardpoint bolting........and a few kalishnikov holes..... Madine yuuuu DINKYDAU !!!! p.s. just got the hang of how to save layers in photoshop, working on learning to Paint...... p.s.s. Load this bird for dl.... great lines, and looks, I am working on mod with Tod Berenght for MG's and Rockets..... just working to add sound file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
William G 11 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 The Black Ponies have my respect. Anyone who puts "The Honorable Mr. Chafee, Secretary of the Navy, visited Binh Thuy on Thursday, 22 May. He examined an OV-10A display in the VAL-4 hangar from a slow moving, air-conditioned sedan." in their official unit history report has to be good people Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
