I'm doing the 75th FS Tiger Sharks :)

Based at Bagram, these were some of the birds my buddy would've guarded...

I am in stencil hell right now-- I have the bottom, top, and one side down so far ;) Still a ways to go.... :dancing:

They were TDY at Bagram. 75th is part of 23rd Wing out of Moody for some time now. :wink: Excellent choice :shoutout:

Thanks!

Yeah- I went through schemes I could find online with him and he seemed excited about the 75th- not sure but it must hold some significance to him so I'm happy to oblige ;)

Yes indeed!

Just in case, I know you're not quite there yet, but... the muzzle portion of the gun should be dark metallic.
