Building a 1/72 Scale Blue Angels History

History
Though in 1907 the United States Army was the first service to establish
an aeronautical division, in 1912 it was the United States Navy that apparently
first used warplanes to promote its mission at "air shows."
Soon the First World War would accelerate the development and popularity
of aviation and result in an explosion of air shows across the county.
The American Navy's motivation for its first official flight demonstration
team began during this post war "barn storming" era when Navy
fighter squadron member D.W. Thomlinson attended a Spokane Washington
air show in 1927. There he saw the jaw dropping aerobatics of James "Jimmy"
Doolittle and the graceful coordinated routine of the Army's "Three
Musketeers" flight demonstration team. These Army flyers had completely
outclassed that of the Navy -- which had simply sent three pilots chosen
at random from three different squadrons. After training in secret in
their squadron's Boeing F2B-1 fighters, Thomlinson's Navy team gave its
first performance the next year during a San Francisco air show and was
promptly dubbed the "Suicide Trio" by the press. Desiring to
be masters of their own - more reassuring -- name, team members decided
to call themselves the "Three Sea Hawks." Other teams from other
Navy squadrons soon followed under such names as the "High Hatters,"
the "Three Gallant Souls" and the nautically appropriate "Three
Flying Fish." The Second World War, however, put a temporary end
to Navy demonstration teams - good pilots were needed elsewhere.
After World War Two ended, the Navy renewed its recruiting strategy
to a war weary nation and sought to extend their search for potential
recruits even into landlocked middle America far removed from coastal
bases. This time, however, the idea for an aerial demonstration team began
not at the individual squadron level but at the top - either the Secretary
of the Navy (according to some historians) or Chief of Naval Operations
Admiral Chester Nimitz (according to the Navy's official history). Lieutenant
Commander Roy M. "Butch" Voris - a decorated fighter ace with
seven victories to his credit - was chosen to form and train the Navy's
new flight demonstration team. In addition to recruiting new sailors and
showing the public the Navy's colors, Voris admitted the new squadron's
mission -- like that of the very first Navy team decades earlier - was
to "beat the Army; then it was the Army Air Forces." To do that,
he later recalled, they would "have to put a little risk into this
thing" and "give them [the Army] something to jump at."
Voris hand picked the men to fly and maintain the team's planes - all
bachelors because: "We were not going to worry about children at
this stage of the game."
The first flight of the Navy's official "Flight Exhibition Team"
was on May 10, 1946 and its first show was held on June 15, 1946 at Jacksonville
Florida. The highlight of their routine was the shooting down of a "Zero"
- actually a SNJ trainer that would set off a smoke bomb, eject a dummy
pilot filled with sand and then dive to disappear behind some obstacle.
Only later did they name themselves "The Blue Angels" -- reflecting
the color of their Navy planes and borrowing from a classy New York nightclub
called the "Blue Angel" which Voris' wing man had read about
in a New Yorker article.
The Kits
In
my naive way, I started this project thinking all I needed was to win
an E-Bay auction for the 1970's era and out of production Minicraft/Hasegawa
"Blue Angels History in Miniature" set. It had five planes used
by the Blues from the 1950's through the 1970's in 1/72 scale. (A newer
Hasegawa set adds the present fighter but then deletes one of the earlier
planes the older set had included). After getting the old set, all that
was needed to be complete would be the easily obtained model and decals
for the team's current mount that they began flying in the 1980's
right? NOPE! The Blues started flying in the 1940's (not 1950's) and have
actually flown eight (not five) different aircraft as part of their formation
flying: the "history" set (old and new) lacked their first two
planes -- the Hellcat and Bearcat. What follows is a brief description
of my overall approach to building the Angels' planes, a summary history
of their use and the construction and challenges -- some met better than
others - each kit posed.
Construction
Because from their inception the Blue Angels numbered each team plane
with an appropriate sequential digit painted on its tail, I thought this
would be a convenient device to also show the chronological order of the
different aircraft they used (i.e. "1" would be their first
plane the Hellcat, "2" would be their second the Bearcat, etc.)
The problem was that the Blues have flown eight planes over the years
(not counting the F7U-1 Cutlass which was a maintenance nightmare, never
flown as part of the formation demonstration team, used for only a few
months as a side act in the 1952 season, and - most importantly -- for
which no model in 1/72 scale could be found), and I could find no evidence
the Blues had any formation flight team plane with any higher number on
its tail than "7" -- and the current "7" is a "two
seater" for public relations use. Indeed some early Angel transport
planes, such as the Douglas R5D-3 and Lockheed Constellation, were identified
with tail number "8." Accordingly, I built the Hellcat and Bearcat
as plane numbers "1" and "2" (being the first and
second types of piston driven aircraft they flew) and started the numbers
over for the Blues' jets from 1949 to the present. Yes, my family would
say such obsessiveness is "madness" - but hey, at least there
is a "method" to it.
Grumman F6F-5 Hellcat: 1946
In
1946 the Angels were allowed to choose from the following available Navy
fighters: FM-2 (a General Motor's built F4F Wildcat), F4U Corsair, F6F
Hellcat and F7F Tigercat. Voris chose the plane he flew in the war --
the F6F-5 Hellcat -- but because of the on-going "draw down"
of forces during that early post-war period, he was forced to use refurbished
Grummans that had already been through their operational cycle. Voris
however had them modified to reduce their excess weight by removing such
non-essentials as guns, armor and ammo boxes. Because blue and gold are
the Navy's colors, Voris chose to paint the planes either insignia blue
(according to Voris' recollection) -- or a "semi gloss sea blue"
(according to other authoritative sources) -- and used actual gold leaf
for the "US (no periods) Navy" written on the fuselage sides
and the lower half of their wings, as well as for the individual team
number on the tail and the appropriate Bureau number. Each plane was then
highly polished and waxed to an impressive shine.
From
the kit collection I inherited from my father, I discovered an old MPC
F6F Hellcat model that had an option to be built as the appropriate "-5"
variant (supposedly a different engine cowling and canopy from that of
the F6F-3), so it was perfect. Well, not really. Actually, it's a terrible
model. Ill-fitting seams and wing joints, absent cockpit and surface detail
as well as something the instructions called "wing plugs" -
stumpy substitutes for landing gear - were all a product of this early
era of kit development. My project was turning out to be "historical"
in more than just its subject matter. However, I am sure a master modeler
could make this into an acceptable representation. Unfortunately, I am
not a "master" modeler. My final Hellcat product is both a great
disappointment and the worst plane of the project. A good second market
set of "Blue Angels" F6F decals would have gone a long way to
improve it - and a set did exist once (i.e. Super Scale 72-217), but apparently
had been long out of production and so precious no modeler was willing
to rob his stash to sell it on e-bay. Even then, from web reviews the
commercially available decals did not appear to have been gold leaf colored
as accuracy required. Accordingly, I had to settle for tracing in Testor's
gold enamel (#1144) the compatible decals that came with the model. Finally,
as with all the Blue Angels models, the Hellcat was finished with Model
Masters Gloss Clear Lacquer overcoat (#1961).
To me at least, accuracy together with proper execution makes a good
model. In my execution of the Blue's first mount, I find solace only in
attempted accuracy. If I ever run across a good 1/72 F6F-5 with Blue Angels
decals - this one is toast.
Grumman F8F Bearcat: 1946-1949
In
August of 1946 the Blues apparently had sufficiently proven their worth
that the brass approved their transition to the Navy's then front line,
lighter and more powerful F8F Bearcat fighter. Unlike the refurbished
F6Fs they had been flying for six months, the Angels pilots this time
flew directly to Grumman's Bethpage factory, did their last Hellcat show
for the workers, and flew off with their freshly painted Bearcats. Their
new planes' overall paint scheme was changed to a special shade of blue
(FS15050), while a unique yellow-gold paint (13538) replaced the gold
leaf previously used for their insignia - which now had periods after
the "U" and the "S" that preceded the "Navy"
emblazoned on their fuselages and on the undersides of their wings. Though
it came too late to have fought in World War Two (the first F8F squadron
was assigned to the carrier Langley but failed to make it into combat
before the War ended in August of 1945), by 1947 the Navy would be operating
23 squadrons of Bearcats. Its only actual combat use however would be
in South East Asia by other countries -- France, Thailand and South Vietnam.
It was the last of Grumman's great piston driven fighters and the Blues
would fly it for the next three years. However, it also was the first
plane -- but unfortunately not the last -- in which an Angels pilot would
die. On September 29, 1946, at an air show at their home field in Jacksonville
Florida, a wing tip snapped off while an F8F was performing a "Cuban
8 with a double roll" causing it to crash and kill its pilot Lieutenant
Robby Robinson.
My
model of the Blue's second make of aircraft again came from my inherited
model collection, but was somewhat more developed on the evolutionary
ladder of model making technology - Monogram's F8F Bearcat produced in
1967 (about the year I started making models with my dad). The simplicity
of the model is demonstrated by the fact the instructions consisted of
a single illustration with minimal directions printed on one side of single
sheet. However, the fit was far better than the Hellcat, with little filling
at important points such as the wing roots and a bit more, though still
primitive, cockpit detail (i.e. there was actually a joy stick and instrument
panel, sort of). My research could uncover no currently available decals
depicting the Blues' Bearcat (though after I had built it I learned a
set could be purchased after all -- Super Scale Decals 720642). Having
learned my lesson with the Hellcat insignia, rather than try paint I instead
bought yellow decals from Aero Master (#72-167) containing "45 degree
ID numbers and letters" which allowed me to assemble Blue Angels
insignia that turned out passably well. The obvious paint choice for this
-- and all Blues planes that followed -- was Model Master "Blue Angels
Blue" (4687) and "Blue Angels Yellow" (4684). Because the
Angels' aircraft were constantly cleaned and polished, painting did not
include weathering and offered few challenges -- spray paint on blue as
a base coat, slap on the decals, touch them up with yellow and spray with
a gloss overcoat.
Grumman F9F-2 ("-5" variant was later used) Panther: 1949-1954
The
F9F-2 was the first jet used by the Navy in the Korean War and, for many,
it is forever linked to one of the best movies about that war -- "Bridges
at Toko-Ri." The Blues' use of the Panther however began back in
May of 1949, prior to that "police action," and just a month
after the F9F had first been delivered to operational squadrons. Indeed,
the aircraft was so new the Angels had to build their own support equipment.
Further, the Angels quickly learned their new higher speed planes prevented
the show from being performed as close to the audience as they had flown
the slower piston driven Hellcat and Bearcat. When the Korean War started
the following year, the Chief of Naval Operations decided the Blues should
participate and in July of 1950 they gave their last show before shipping
overseas. On March 8, 1951, the Blues leader -- Lieutenant Commander Johnny
Magda -- was killed when his F9F was hit by anti-aircraft fire while he
was attacking the bridges at the
Hwachon Dam. He was the first Blues commander killed during combat and
apparently an inspiration for Michener's novel "Bridges at Toko-Ri."
During the squadron's second tour, the Navy actually shipped two or three
of the Blues' original Panthers with them. Later, the Blues as a demonstration
team were reformed under their original commander Voris in June of 1952
and started flying the more powerful F9F-5 Panther. However, the same
year of its reformation, several Angels Panthers collided while performing
the four plane diamond formation causing the death of Blues pilot Bud
Wood. Nevertheless, within two weeks, the Angels were back performing.
In the same way the real F9F-2 was a dramatic evolution from the F8F,
so too Hasegawa's Panther contained in the "Blue Angels History In
Miniature" set was a step up the evolutionary ladder from Monogram's
1967 era Bearcat. No recessed panel lines yet, but the cockpit had improved
(e.g. along with a joy stick, the ejection seat now looks something like
the real thing and the instrument panel
and switches are at least attempted to be illustrated by decals), the
wheel wells at least had some detail, the fit was good, and it even allowed
for the airbrakes to be put in the open position. A little lead weight
in the nose worked wonderfully to keep the Cougar on its tricycle landing
gear and avoid it becoming a tail dragger. Though I've read some reviews
critical of the decals for the kit (with which I concur as to some of
the later Blues planes in the set), those for the Angels' version of the
Panther seemed perfectly acceptable to my uninformed eye. Further, in
that the Blue Angels "set" obviously was simply an amalgam of
various prior individually sold Hasegawa kits, the accompanying decals
included not just the "Blue Angels Panther 1949 Pensacola,"
but also a plane assigned to the Marine's "VMF-115 1953, Spring,
Korea" and one that flew with the Navy's "VF-123." I'm
beginning to learn how helpful it is to have a decals stash.
Grumman F9F-8 Cougar: 1955-1956
The
Cougar was essentially a variant of the Panther with swept wings (to minimize
the shock wave caused by speeds approaching the "sound barrier")
and a "flying tail" (to maximize control at those higher speeds),
a more powerful engine (which allowed those higher speeds and required
a lengthened fuselage) but without its characteristic wing tip tanks.
The F9F-8 also had a dump valve in its wingtips, which allowed the Angels
to add a new feature to their acrobatics: they dyed the planes' fuel and
released it at strategic points during their routine. This achieved the
desired result of an impressive colored contrail tracing the path of the
formation during its acrobatics. This also achieved the undesired result
of spreading highly combustible and toxic vaporized jet fuel on the crowd.
Their maintenance crew chief would later devise the simple solution of
pumping smoke oil through a copper pipe running down the outside the plane's
fuselage ending at the exhaust nozzle and thereby accomplish the same
effect without jeopardizing the masses with a petroleum mist hazard.
Assembling
Hasegawa's Cougar was not much different from constructing the Panther.
However, the Blue Angels' F9F-8 had noticeably more bare metal area on
the wing's leading edges and over the length of the engine intakes than
did the F9F-2. The base blue coat was spray brushed on and then Testers'
silver (#1146) was brushed on for the supposedly "unpainted"
and polished aluminum surface. With the larger metallic area being shown,
I realized afterwards how much more obvious brush strokes can be. By the
time I got to the Thunderbird project my supposed masking "skills"
improved (i.e.
I actually tried it, with various frustrating results) because I had no
choice -- the Air Force's early team planes were almost completely bare
metal. However, at this early point in the project I lived with the silver
brush strokes for the Angels planes. As with the Panther, the Cougar's
decals also included insignia for two aircraft flown by operational squadrons:
VF-81 and VT-26. As with the Panther, the Angels' decals were not very
flashy nor did they pose much difficulty. Nevertheless, the many various
yellow insignia, serial numbers and informational stencils looked good
against the glossy "Blue Angels" blue finish.
Grumman F11F-1 Tiger: 1957-1968
Just
before the Blues' new leader Ed Holly took command in 1957, he had witnessed
an Air Force Thunderbird show demonstrating the capabilities of their
supersonically capable F-100 SuperSabre "and the noise it put out."
He concluded the Angels' Cougar had become too long in the tooth: the
Navy team needed an aircraft capable of flying the speed of sound too.
As Holly later explained, Grumman's supersonic F11F "was a stronger
airplane than the F9F-8, but the burner was the main reason for going
to it. The afterburner's noise was a crowd pleaser." (Having attended
air shows growing up in the late 1960's and early 70's, I have to agree.
Just as the spine of a World War Two buff tingles when a classic war bird's
piston engine is heard coughing to life and then starting to purr, watching
a jet fighter suddenly go vertical, hearing the boom of its afterburners
and seeing yellow flames
come out of an exhaust nozzle is a primordial blue collar pleasure not
to be denied.) The power of the Tiger allowed the Blues show to become
more vertical than horizontal and thereby remain within the area of the
airfield. The next year, in an air show attended by the Air Force General
Curtis LeMay, the Navy team introduced its "back-to-back pass"
where two planes fly straight and level down the flight line but the lower
fighter is right side up and the plane above it is up side down. (Supposedly
the proud LeMay threw his ever present cigar down and yelled "I don't
believe this!") Though over time three team members -- Commander
Nick Glasgow, Lieutenant Commander Dick Oliver and Lieutenant Frank Gallagher
-- would be killed flying the F11F in separate accidents, the team continued
to fly this last Grumman Angels mount for over a decade. Indeed, the Blues
flew the Tiger far longer than it had ever been in operational use with
the Navy.
Because
the Angel's Tiger was the first to use a more elaborate yellow trimmed
paint job, the decals were more of a challenge to apply. This was particularly
true as to the elongated arrowhead on the undercarriage. Hasegawa's F11F
kit -- like all subsequent models in the "Blue Angels History"
set -- did not provide decals for operational units. Far better, however,
the decals instead included all the options for the Blues' tail numbers
including the stenciled names of various pilots and their respective plane's
corresponding serial numbers. My plan for the set dictated that the Tiger
be depicted as number "3" (the third chronological jet flown
by the Angels). Coincidentally, this was also the plane in which Lieutenant
Commander Oliver was killed during a 1966 fatal Toronto air show accident.
This allowed the F11F model also to be a memorial to one of the Angels
lost in the line of duty.
McDonnell-Douglas F4J Phantom II: 1969-1973
When the Blues were looking for a new plane to replace the aging F11F,
America was deeply involved in the Vietnam War. Accordingly, the Navy
at first was not amenable to supplying the team scarce front line fighters
from its depleted inventory. Again, inter-service rivalry guided the Blue's
history and provided the brass the necessary incentive. As the team's
Leader Bill Wheat later
explained: "The way we got the F-4 was that we had heard the Air
Force was going to get them" so he argued up the chain of command
that it was not fair the Thunderbirds alone should have the Phantom: it
had originally been designed for the Navy and it was the Navy which had
first deployed it. In response, the Navy quickly found six "lead
nosed" F-4's (which were being used exclusively for carrier qualifications
and had ballast in the nose rather than weapons and other combat equipment).
With the increase in power of the big aircraft, the Blues were able to
go through their familiar maneuvers in less time and thereby add more
routines to the same 22 minute air show. However, the extra power also
had its drawbacks: during a British Columbia air show one of the pilots
unintentionally exceeded the speed of sound and shattered windows for
eight blocks around the Canadian waterfront. Further, several accidents
with the Phantoms occurred in later years, resulting not only in various
severe injuries but also the death of Lieutenant Larry Watters in a 1972
solo accident and a fatal mid-air collision the following year that killed
Lieutenant Commander Skip Umstead, Captain Mike Murphy and Petty Officer
Ronald Thomas. These tragic accidents and the energy crisis caused the
remainder of the Angel's 1973 season to be cancelled and the fuel guzzling
F-4 to be abandoned as the team's plane.
Because the Phantom was the Blue Angel plane of my childhood (I still
remember cupping my hands to my ears in shock as it unexpectedly thundered
from behind the crowd during an air show), I
was particularly eager to build it. Though the fit was good and posed
just a few sanding difficulties, the lack of cockpit detail was a disappointment:
regressing to a more primitive era of modeling, the cockpit was essentially
a tub with molded on beefy ejection sheets. Further, the canopy was molded
in the closed position requiring the old hot X-acto knife trick to separate
it for it to be displayed in the open position like its sister aircraft.
Finally, the slender and elongated yellow decals were frustrating to get
properly applied to the complicated bulbous F-4 shape. This is where I
became acquainted with Testor's "decal solvent" (880901) and
Microscale's "Micro Set." I am not really sure whether these
products actually made any physical difference. Perhaps it was instead
the therapeutic effect of repeatedly brushing them over the model that
in time allowed me to actually position and fit the decals to the plane
rather than tear them and wad them into a collective ball. Nevertheless,
the F-4 is my sentimental favorite and looks threatening even in 1/72
scale.
McDonnell-Douglas A-4F Skyhawk: 1974-1985
Though
the Skyhawk first flew in 1954, it was still being produced (and would
be for another five years) when the Angels first began flying it. It had
carried nuclear weapons during the Cuban Missile Crisis, provided close
ground support and anti-aircraft suppression in the Vietnam War, was used
by the Israelis in the Yom Kippur War, and would later be used by the
British in the Falklands War and -- long after the Blues transitioned
to another aircraft -- it was still being used by the U.S. in the first
Gulf War. Indeed, though the Navy recently retired it in 2003, a retired
Blue Angel Commander has assembled a squadron of A-4's which his company
hires out to provide attacking "adversary" fighters for use
in training pilots who fly the Navy's most modern planes. In 1974, however,
the Skyhawk was not the first or even second choice of the Blues -- they
had first requested and been denied both the F-14 and A-7. The A-4 was
simply the only remaining fleet plane that would work for the Angels.
Nevertheless, the aging aircraft was affectionately known as the "Scooter"
because of its legendary maneuverability and ably served the Blues for
over a decade. After 12 years of that duty, however, a mid-air collision
during a show in 1985 killed Lieutenant Commander Robert Gershon and sped
up the transition to a more modern Angel mount in 1986.
The Skyhawk undeniably well served the Blues and our nation's defense
for decades, yet to me it is the most ascetically unattractive plane they
ever flew. Nevertheless, in the process of building the model I began
to have a grudging respect -- dare I say affection -- for this little
homely plane that can
still out maneuver our most modern combat jets. This sentimentality grew
despite the continuing lack of much cockpit detail -- though unlike the
Phantom -- its ejection seat actually sort of looked like the real thing,
in a thick 1/72 kind of way. As with the Phantom, the clear part of the
canopy was molded shut. However, this time the hot X-acto trick would
not work: the structural remainder of the canopy had been molded into
the main fuselage half. Hence, the A-4 is the only Angel plane in the
set with a closed canopy. Further, its odd lines made the application
of the now even more elongated yellow striping on the upper fuselage even
more difficult than it was for the Phantom. Though of questionable alignment,
the decals finally somehow got in place -- just do not look too closely.
McDonnell-Douglas F/A-18A Hornet: 1986-present (Now the "Boeing"
F/A-18 Hornet)
First
flown in 1978, the Hornet was designed as a "dual role" aircraft
-- both interceptor and bomber. Though capable of speeds just under Mach
2, the Hornet was engineered to handle well at slow speeds for turning
tight so as to get behind an adversary in a dogfight. Accordingly, the
F/A-18 was perfect for demonstration team work and allowed the Angels
to include new maneuvers in their routine. In 1992, the Blues took a page
from the Thunderbirds and for the first time in decades visited Europe
and for the first time ever deployed to the one time "iron curtain"
countries -- including a flight over of the Kremlin itself! (The Navy
was persuaded to allow a European tour in part by the manufacturer who
wanted to show their product to both present and future foreign buyers.)
Going into its 20th year with the Angels in 2005, the Hornet has the longest
service record with the team of any other formation plane and one of the
best safety records.
In
that all the other Blues jet models I built were from Hasegawa, it seemed
fitting to end with their Hornet kit as well. Having done so, what a difference
a few decades make! The F/A-18 kit was a dramatic contrast from the primitive
MPC Hellcat model. For example the cockpit now includes an ejection seat
that is much more like the full size version, the joy stick is back and
the relatively convincing decals make the instrument panels much more
presentable. The evolution to the much coveted recessed panel lines is
now included and the cockpit not only can be made in the open position
but includes the detail of a nice hydraulic strut to keep it open. The
one construction fault I found, perhaps due to my ham-handed model making
skills, is the poor fit gotten when joining the two
fuselage halves. Instead of the traditional left and right pieces, the
fuselage consists of a top and bottom piece. This avoids the need to sand
the unsightly seam that usually runs down the middle of the aircraft,
but creates a new seam on the complicated sides that is highly difficult
to reach in order to smooth out. The decals again helpfully provide the
serial numbers, tail number and pilot names for each of the six individual
planes in the squadron. My example was of course made as number "6"
-- the sixth jet flown by the Angels. Again, however, the long thin yellow
striping was the greatest challenge for this final Blues mount because
it practically runs the entire length of the rolling fuselage and across
complex surfaces -- including an open canopy. Again, don't look too hard
at the stripe alignment.
Conclusion
Though
I am more proud of some of the planes than I am of others, I am very satisfied
with the overall impact of the project. Still, a fair question might be
why the project would end with the Blue Angels and not extend to a similar
effort for their "friendly" rivals -- the Air Force Thunderbirds.
That, as they say, is a story for another time.
