I have painted the 2 F-16 Squadrons based at Tengah.

You can download them here.

Also not based at Tengah, at laeast I do not think so, I have painted the reformed Black Knights display team.

Graham, based on the description/write up here, http://www.mindef.gov.sg/imindef/mindef ... mblem.html
I think they are based out of Tengah, but I could be reading into it wrong as they are only specifically mentioning the emblem being the same for the team and the base.

Nice paints by the way.

A couple of screen shots of a Grumman E-2C Hawkeye model in development, sorry no release date, in Singapore Air Force colours. The actual model is for the updated US Navy version with, amongst other things, the new 8 bladed propellers.

Not complaining or begging. Just a tongue-in-cheek reaction.

I can do the 15's if graham hasn't already, they would be fairly easy to do. I have only found 3 serials tho. aren't they supposed to get 24?

Ford Friendly · Post by **Ford Friendly** » 10 Dec 2008, 21:14

Yes, they contracted to buy 24, but they aren't actually being delivered until next year sometime. I haven't got a clue about the actual serials.

Personally, "blank" serials would work for me as I seldom look THAT closely at any paint job once it's been installed. OTOH, I know saying that is tantamount to sacrilege for some people.

I'd bet that these guys are either going to form a brand new squadron, be assigned to the 145th and/or be assigned to the "new" airbase at Changi East - as opposed to being assigned to Tengah AB with its older facilities.

djnocturnal · Post by **djnocturnal** » 10 Dec 2008, 22:02

so far the 3 I have are
05-0001
05-0002
05-0003
if they stay in order from 1-24 that would be great

Are these replacing the f-16's?

Ford Friendly · Post by **Ford Friendly** » 10 Dec 2008, 22:43

Replacing the F-16's? I wouldn't think so. I would think they are replacing the A4S's that are now in storage - but that's just a guess.

jgibson_sniper · Post by **jgibson_sniper** » 10 Dec 2008, 22:48

they are replacing the A-4s, the first five a due to arrive at Mountain Home in early spring and will begin training along side the 391st FS. Early reports indicate they will be based at Tenagh, but I wouldn't be surprise if they move them to changi.

their suppose to fill the gap between the A-4 and the F-35, and when the F-35s come on-line they'll replace older F-16s.

You are correct Ford. The first RSAF F-15SG are currently in training in the 333 FS here at KGSB. They will be starting up there own training squardon at Mt Home very soon

I would love for someone to do some repaints for the F-15SG (aka F-15E)

djnocturnal · Post by **djnocturnal** » 11 Dec 2008, 06:14

i've made a paint the way they are currently from pictures i've seen, BUT i'm having doubts that they will stay painted this way...who knows, perhaps some sea camo?

Firebird · Post by **Firebird** » 11 Dec 2008, 07:08

Hmmm, I am not sure about that. I'd like to think that if I paid x millions for a plane they would paint it in the scheme that I wanted it.

djnocturnal · Post by **djnocturnal** » 11 Dec 2008, 07:32

lol, yeah you would think. the sea camo was just a joke, but some of the markings could change...who knows

Looks like they do have a flag on the tail.

I saw on another forum that the photo was photoshopped back in early 07.
that why I wasn't sure, the more recent photos don't show it. personally i like it better with the flag as the plane is pretty bare as is.

Graham King · Post by **Graham King** » 11 Dec 2008, 19:42

I found this news article on the Boeing site.

The picture does not show much detail and it has a USAF Serial Number on the tail as it will be in the USA for a while for flight tests.

I have painted the aircraft using Nick Black's F-15E. You can download it here.

jetmax · Post by **jetmax** » 12 Dec 2008, 02:32

Very nice Graham. I just installed the F-15SG and it looks great. So dare I ask if anyone is interested in doing a Repaint of the A-4? I know they are on there way out but it would still be cool.
