Looking for attractive F-4E decals


Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

And what about this double MiG killer: F-4E 67-0392 / TH named "War Lord" ?

The TH phantom really rocks! But SJ's are first choice too.

or what this: http://www.bare-metal.com/decals/decals_48/48-36instr.jpg ??

"last of the gunfigthers"

The Ft. 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.

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.

I could be wrong (and biased :thumbsup2: , 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.

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:

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.

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.
