foxmulder_ms Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 I am on market for some F-4E phantomII decals. I am in process of building an F-4E in light gray/gunship gray camouflage and wanted to use some after market decals instead of the regular Hasegawa offerings. Any ideas???

Bigasshammm Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 (edited) I am on market for some F-4E phantomII decals. I am in process of building an F-4E in light gray/gunship gray camouflage and wanted to use some after market decals instead of the regular Hasegawa offerings. Any ideas??? What scale? I have the other half of AeroMaster's Phancy Phantoms Pt ix which is the Marines grey and blue with white stars. In 1/72nd scale. They're urs if you want them. I also have a complete sheet of stencils for F-4s with only a few cut out. Also includes the terrible ip decals. I can take an actual picture if needed. PM me AM Phantom II decals Kris I see that you wanted the 2-tone gray now. It would help if I read everything. Either way these are available if you change your mind.

Pete Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Assuming you build 1/48, Afterburner Decals has 3 very nice sheets with F-4E's in Hill Grey, Phantoms from Seymour Johnson, Taegu & Osan and Clark AFB. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fulcrum1 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Now would those F-4E's have slatted wings? I ask because I don't know around what time frame the E went to slatted wings and if the regular winged E's were used alongside. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pete Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Yes, the slatted wings began to appear in the first half of the 70's, and by the time the Hill Grey scheme came, they were pretty much all slatted. Including the older ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Ooo sorry, I build 1/48 :) Desert storm ones (3rd TFW) look cool... interesting.. :P Anymore option with this camo you guys might remember? Thanks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scotthldr Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 or indeed these, slight variation on the scheme http://www.twobobs.net/contents/media/48-050f.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Netz Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 One problem, those are "G"'s, a "slight variation",but those came to my mind first. I'd definitely do one. Curt Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kenlilly106 Posted November 10, 2010 Share Posted November 10, 2010 If you want something in overall light gray the scheme for the 57 FIS based out of Iceland is pretty sharp, overall ADC Gray. Ken Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne Don Spering scheme huh,cool beans,Hasegawa kicked out the other Indiana units(181st TFG)Don Spering scheme in 72nd and 48th.(note:they still got some of the decals wrong after I sent them dozens of pics to where they wouldn't!).A future sheet from Diego will help correct Hasegawas goofs on their release.

foxmulder_ms Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Hi guys, I am getting close to painting with my build (am I lazy :) ) and had a change of heart about the color scheme I want to use. I liked how f-4 looks in all dark/medium greens. However, I really don't know what I want, am little bit confused since I know almost nothing about the F-4E colors. Here is the situation: Since I like the green look I had a search and learnt that USAF had a color scheme called "euro I". In this scheme, there are basically two tones of greens and one dark gray (FS34079, FS34102 and RLM 74??? ). However, I found pictures of F-4E where the dark gray looked like another very dark tone of green or almost black which I liked even more. Is this due to weathering or is there another scheme that I need to know about? Also, if you guys could have figured out what I am talking about, is there any decals for this "darker" F-4E in the market? I checked afterburner decals, and all they have is the regular euro I scheme birds. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I could be wrong (and biased , having lived in Goldsboro), but I'll say Afterburner's 4th FW double ugly part II is your best shot. Best of my knowledge is that it was always grey, not a darker shade of green or black. Edited May 10, 2012 by Skyraider Maniac Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Brown Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 That's just as easy as my original reply! :D Ben (still a 4th TFW nut) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dmk0210 Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Afterburner's sheets have excellent paint diagrams with FS numbers (I have both the Clark and Seymour Johnson F-4E sheets - the former has some sharks mouth Phantoms). But here's a quick diagram (also with FS numbers) to give you an idea. Links for F-4E Euro Scheme I and II at the bottom: http://jpsmodell.de/dc/schemes/europ1_e.htm Once you apply the greens and gray, then fade and weather, it will all blend together, just like it did on the real aircraft. I think the surrounding greens trick the eye and make the gray appear to be a very dark green. Edited May 10, 2012 by dmk0210 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Thanks guys, I wasn't sure whether it was only weathering or not.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Captoveur Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 That Seymour Johnson sheet is very nice. I built one of the Euro-1 versions off of it a while back. If you are looking for the gray, Testors makes it and calls it "Euro 1 Gray" The Greens are the same as in the SEA scheme. If you prefer Tamiya paints, the darker Gunship Gray they make is a pretty good match. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dehowie Posted May 12, 2012 Share Posted May 12, 2012 (edited) Heading back to your original request by far the best looking lo vis F-4s ever to see the light of day http://www.hlj.com/product/PLZJD48-4 No one paints modern jets like the JASDF.. Plenty more where these came from to. Edited May 12, 2012 by dehowie Quote Link to post Share on other sites
foxmulder_ms Posted May 12, 2012 Author Share Posted May 12, 2012 @Captoveur, Thanks, I ordered Euro 1 Gray from testors, today :) @dehowie, I agree, they really look nice but they have "hard" wings, my model is F-4E :] Quote Link to post Share on other sites
