Question about Jetfire

Postby Metal Monkey » Mon Oct 05, 2009 10:41 pm

I am new to the forums, but I have been on a while looking at stuff. I am unsure where to ask this seeing how things are kinda unorganized(please forgive me I'm a neat freak when I make my clan forums/sites).

My question is this. I just picked up the only Movie Leader Class Jetfire I have seen in Washington state. I have looked for months at any store you can name just about. Not to say there isn't any I missed, but today I grabbed the only one..and it was ONLY 1 at WallyWorld. I want to know if anyone knows what the red wings insignia is on the rudders above the "Skunk Works" insignia. The toy is actually very very close to the real SR-71 in Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. Yes they lied about the name in the movie...thank Bay for that. I am trying to repaint Jetfire to the REAL one, but I do not know what the top logo is.

I need someone who knows this. To make Jetfire as cool as he should be. I am currently working on a 2007 Starscream. Extreme detail, G1 colors/face/weapons. As close as I can get. I could use ideas on him as well.

Thanks for taking the time to read this. I have to admit I am not big on the newer Transformer movies. Good movies, but I love G1. The movie killed it for me. So I also do repaints of newer toys in G1 style. I pay more attention to detail that I have seen on the net so far. I redo everything. Refit, repaint, and remake. If anyone has suggestions on that please throw am at me, or yell at the new guy for being a new guy. Whatever works.

Gah, I should know this. I've built enough SR-71s...

I think that's a low-observable version of either the AFLC or the AFMC badge.

Thank you. I am that much closer. Now just to find out what exact one it is. I blew this up on my computer and tried to sharpen it up a little bit, but...no such luck. I hate to be picky, but I want it exactly like it. So if you can find anything else on it please let me know. Thank you very much. I have something I can look further into now.

at 400% size i can see the letters "tcs" so it's logistics. however they didn't space it the same as the real logo."air force logistics" is crammed on the left side, and command is on the right.

What do you mean they didn't space it right as the real logo? The picture in my first post is the real Blackbird. http://yf-12.org/photogallery/blackbird/17972/

Looking closer at another picture it does indeed say "AF Logistics Command". Thanks guys.

Here is the real one in patch form. This is the exact one as on the 61-7972 SR-71A Blackbird.
