Thanks ES - would you happen to know what the FS colour is of the SEA dark green that is replaced with the 4079?

 

I want to keep the Euro1 as light as I (accuratly) can.

 

Marc.

FS 34079 is dark green

Thanks Geoff, and hoping I'm not overcomplicating this but then I do not understand ES'd answer:

the other takes the same SEA scheme and replaces the dark green with 4079

 

As I understand ES's answer, (the Euro1) 4079 would replace the green in the SEA scheme - so I'm wondering what it replaces.

 

Thanks,

Fairly sure 34092 wasn’t used on F-4’s.

That agrees with what I've found doing a quick poke around the net. Apparently, the Euro 1 scheme for F-4s started off as Medium Green 34102, Dark Green 34079, and Gunship Gray 36118 (replacing the SEA Tan 30219). When stocks of 36118 quickly became short, Euro Gray 36081 replaced it as the standard grey in the scheme, which MAY then have been renamed Euro 2.

 

Other aircraft types, notably including the A-10, were painted in what was also called Euro 1, but which consisted of Medium Green 34102, Euro Green 34092, and Euro Gray 36081.

34102 not 34201. 36118 was consigned to the MAC Euro1 scheme ie: C-5, C-130, C-141 and most USAF helicopters. Never heard of F-4’s wearing 36118, but 36087 is commonly referred to as Dark Gunship Grey were some of the confusion arises from.

Yup, reversed the digits; will fix in my post.

Shameless lift from IPMS Stockholm site.

 

TAC Standard    1960s-70s    FS:30219/34102/34079/36622

TAC SEA    1960s-70s (F-111)    FS:30219/34102/34079/17038

 

European I    1980s-    FS:36081/34102/34092
European I    unique for F-4s    FS:36081/34102/34079
European I MAC    1980s- C-141, C-5, C-130    FS:36118/34102/34092

SOC used the same Euro1 scheme as MAC as opposed to TAC and USAFE.
