firefighter Posted August 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted August 28, 2017 I took a try on the patch. I just received it in the mail and it does NOT react to uv light. What do you think? There was a 12th Strategic Fighter Wing from 1953-1957. Patch is slightly bigger than a normal wing patch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No Quarter Posted August 28, 2017 Share #2 Posted August 28, 2017 Looks good to me, it's got the OD border which is a good sign. Jacob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 28, 2017 Share #3 Posted August 28, 2017 This is a known bad copy. They used the TFW version to copy as opposed to the rarer SFW, which I attached. Yours looks Asian made in the 70s/80s. The 12 SFW was redesignated in 1957, and yours just doesn't look that old. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 28, 2017 Share #4 Posted August 28, 2017 Here's the TFW they "borrowed" from, 1960s F-4 era. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I still had to take the chance even though I could only find the 12th SFW you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Posted August 28, 2017 Share #7 Posted August 28, 2017 It looks maybe Korean? The other thing is they were usually referred to as Strat Fighter units, not SAC Fighter units. $7 isn't too much damage. Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted August 29, 2017 Share #9 Posted August 29, 2017 I've rolled the dice many times, and more often than not end up with something pretty nice. I just go in with low expectations. Ya gotta live a little! Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
