ehm... this time is a NUT airplane question.

Does anybody knows the Federal Standard Color codes used during Vietnam war over F-4E phantoms?

Here is my model, tamiya 1/32 (thanks again to Mike for the patience.... ):
AL SOLDATINO MODELLISMO

the FS I think I can use are:
FS 36622 grey (lower surfaces)
FS 30219 (tan)
FS 34102 (med. green)
FS 34079 (dk. green)

but are references for F-4C/D, so dunno if thats ok also for the gunned ones.

looks liek you got the colors correct!

thank u Mike,
yes the color palette seems the same used on F-4C/D (think they had a standard painting scheme, for both the versions).
This Tamiya model is impressive, one of the nicest one I've ever seen.

Thank u again and look at this funny commercial in full vietnam style

YouTube - Hillarious duck squad revenge commercial


P.s...and look at F-4 crash test :

very good!

I'm pretty sure the same scheme was used on the E as on the C and D. Hasegawa used to provide a great colour guide with each kit listing the FS numbers, do they still do this?


Next challenge for you Paolo

GPUpdate.net - Every day updated Formula One news! (For Formula One news, results, photos and more!)

We have had :-

Gilles Villeneuve vs Starfighter
M.Schu vs Euro Fighter
Spyker vs F16

What's next Honda RA107 vs Tiger Moth

That would make a nice little set

(Nice livery on the F16 - very Firefox from the front!!)

P.S. Did you get PM by the way?
