Jan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) I will soon start triple 1/48 phantom project: 1) F-4E Iranian Air Force (hasegawa) (desert camo) 2) F-4D South Korean AF (italeri) (SEA camo) 3) F-4D or J or E (Italeri)...but what scheme? I need to decide...so far the most probable is the U.S. marines hi-vis scheme included on the decal sheet (the one with stars on the fin) ...but, may be, there is some scheme that could be interesting too... I am looking for a camo scheme that is a ) significantly different from my 1) and 2) projects B ) not Israeli, not Greek 'ghost scheme', not German (neither regular, nor special schemes), not other grey-grey schemes (I do not like them that much) c ) some out-of the norm operator would be preferred, but I could 'settle' with U.S. machine as well, if the scheme is interesting enough Any suggestions? Pics would be most welcome! Thanks, Jan Edited January 30, 2006 by Jan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hatchet Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Euro One! F-4E F-4D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Have you thought of converting the F-4E into an F-4EJ kai with the blue on blue Mitsu F-2 scheme? http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00637 http://www.hlj.com/product/HSG00645 Or any Japanese Aggressor F-4EJ (not much difference from a USAF F-4E bird) http://www.eaglestrikeproductions.com/cgi-...&dclimg=ad48529 http://www.eaglestrikeproductions.com/cgi-...g=ad48529&prfx= http://www.eaglestrikeproductions.com/cgi-...g=ad48529&prfx= Or make the J into the black Playbunny/blue Blue Angels. btw Jan, for your South Korean AF, are you making that one with the large Korean words on the fuselage? If so, where are you getting the decals from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 Thanks for the ideas, guys... I will definitely think about the Japanese blue-blue scheme. btw Jan, for your South Korean AF, are you making that one with the large Korean words on the fuselage? If so, where are you getting the decals from? I got them from me :D ...have drawn the artwork in CorelDraw, and had it printed on ALPS printer Here is the artwork Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Looks awesome! What do the characters mean? ROKAF (Republic of Korea Air Force)? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jan Posted January 30, 2006 Author Share Posted January 30, 2006 What do the characters mean? ROKAF (Republic of Korea Air Force)? It means something like: "The gift of the people for the defence of the Korea" Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JackMan Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Ahh, I see. Many thanks, Jan. And good luck with your Phantom Project :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DonSS3 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) You mentioned that you don't want to do a Greek "Ghost Scheme," I think the Greek Blue-Gray over Aluminum scheme would look cool. That's how I'm planning to do my next F-4E. Then there's alos plenty of light gray (ADC Gray) schemes for USAF and Air National Guard F-4C/D aircraft if you don't want to do the two-tone Hill Gray-type schemes. Good luck with your F-4s, sounds like a fun project. Edited January 30, 2006 by DonSS3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevenJ Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 (edited) You state: a ) significantly different from my 1) and 2) projects. Since you include the F-4J in your last set, I'd say go with that. A USN J would be different from all those others with flashy markings over 16440/white scheme would be very different. Or if you can bump it up to an F-4S you could go with a VF-301 4-tone camo scheme, see: Edited January 30, 2006 by StevenJ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bullet101 Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Or if you want to be really different you could turn the D or J into a NAVY F-4G (yes they did exist) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KursadA Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 Or if you want to be really different you could turn the D or J into a NAVY F-4G (yes they did exist) I second that, an all-green Navy F-4G (not your garden variety Wild Weasel F-4G, a different aircraft altogether) would be great. I haven't seen many of those built. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fury Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 You would actually have to base the Navy G model from a B model kit. The Navy F-4G was just a B model with an Automatic Carrier Landing System installed, where the plane would trap aboard the boat under remote guidance/control. I do not think the Navy F-4G ever flew SEAD/ Iron Hand missions. Later, the designation was abandoned and later taken over by the Air Force Wild Weasel version.

jcunny Posted January 30, 2006 Share Posted January 30, 2006 You know, IF I was gonna do a "unique" F-4E; I think I would go with the 5000th Phantom in Mac D factory colors. Just my thoughts, Jarrod Quote Link to post Share on other sites
