Does anyone have a link to a picture or image of the bird located on the underside of the Thunderbird display team jets?
I have gone all retro and had a YA Starfire built. I wanted it in the classic colours of the one which I aspired to as a kid. Ideally I would like to have the big dark blue bird across the underside, and ideally I would like to get my friend who is a top notch sign maker to produce it. The only issue is finding a complete image to draw it from.
If anyone can help then great!
Regards Al

No more vinyl for you Mark lol
That template should help, it will just need redrawing and then tweaking to fit the belly of the Starfire

I'm good Mark but even I can't polish a turd!!! Lol I'm sure we can come up with something to suit the funky lines of the Futura.

The Starfire is so old skool you should probably be putting dodo wings on the underside!

The scheme can be made to fit just about anything. Although only a lowly King kobra of mine if you plan it out, have alot of patience and a few rolls of fine line tape... it'll fit. PPG DBC base with DCU2021 clear.
