Serelle Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hello! I'm working on a F-4S from Marines in late 80s in TPS camo and would like to load 2x AIM-7 Sparrow in the rear bays. My doubt is how they should looks like? - Overall white with grey nose come? - White body with NMF fins? - Gray body, white nose cone and NMF fins? Any help? Thanks Serelle Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 All the ones we had at Elmendorf in 1984-86 had grey bodies with dark metal color fins. The radome was off white. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deke Posted April 13, 2013 Share Posted April 13, 2013 (edited) AFAIK Marine and Navy F-4s never carried the AIM-7F version, which was the first version to go to the gray paint. They still used the older AIM-7E, which was compatible with their CW illuminator for guidance, and those remained white.
