Does anyone have 3 view shots of the current Fat Albert? I’m looking for the scheme and color call-outs. If not, does anyone know a good book that might have 'em?
Thanks in advance,

Go to the Blue Angels site (I can’t find it right now), if you haven’t already. E-mail the Public Information Office if the photos you want aren’t on the site, but I think they have a separate page for Fat Albert on the BA site. They even have great Fat Albert shots on their screen saver you can download. Airfix once released their 1/72 C-130 in Fat Albert livery some years ago, and the livery hasn’t changed, though the kit later did. I dug out the decal sheet recently and it had turned to flakes and I tossed it, never thinking it would need to be restored. Wish I hadn’t now. It was at least good for reference. Sorry this isn’t much help. But I’ve found the people in the Blues’ information office very helpful. They even helped me research the No. 7 bird I flew in back in '90. Now, I have everything I need to build, pictures, decals and aftermarket parts – everything, that is, but that elusive Hasegawa 1/48 F-18B. Can’t find it for love nor money.
what are you going to do, the 1/48 italeri kit? if so, you beat me to it, i “intend” to build that beast in Fat Albert markings.
the hard part is just getting something for the JATO’s
The site should be
Try Airliners.net. Go to the search page and in the keyword slot put in “Fat Albert”. You’ll get a few pages of really good pics.
