Curt B Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi All, I've done some research, but have not been able to determine an answer to my question, which is: Were any F-4C variants painted in the Southeast Asia paint scheme at the factory, or were they all painted in the Tan/Light Green/Dark Green scheme in the field (in VIetnam), over the Gull Grey/White original scheme? I am working on the 1/48 Zoukei-Mura F-4C, and wondering if I do any chipping of the finish, whether the chipped area color should be grey or down to yellow chromate or natural metal. I thought it would be easy to find an answer to this, but I haven't been successful. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RichB63 Posted January 29, 2023 Share Posted January 29, 2023 Hi Curt, According to Jennings Heilig of Fundekals, who has done a lot of research on Phantoms, only the last production block of F-4C’s (64-882 thru 64-928), delivered in late 1965, left the factory in SEA camouflage. Hope this helps, Rich Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ben Brown Posted January 30, 2023 Share Posted January 30, 2023 If you haven’t already seen it, the Fundekals F-4C instruction sheet (more like a small reference book) has tons of good info on it: LINK Ben Quote Link to post Share on other sites
