Dark Green - FS34079 (GS:H309)

Medium Green - FS34102 (GS:H303)

Tan - FS30219 (GS:H310)

they stayed in that the later part of their career except for a couple of one off birds in the AF reserve at Hill AFB in the early 80's. there were a couple of wraparound paintjobs on modified weasel birds during vietnam and one ea SEA wraparound, desert and Euro 1 at Hill.

Depends on the year and what model of the Thud.

 

Pre early- 1966 (someone feel free correct or add to this); there were still units that kept their F-105s in the aluminum/sliver skin.

 

 

Then in the SEA theater of operations some units had a mix of bare aluminum and camo

note the famous picture

 

After that period most F-105s had the SEA scheme, but some units operating in Europe kept the aluminum. By the mid 70s and early 80s, almost all F-105s were sporting SEA camo, except for HILL AFB started painting some of their birds "funky" before the plane was with drawn from service.

 

Most Air National Guard F-105s used the SEA scheme.

 

Also to be noted is the painting of the nose cone.

 

The F-105B and F-105D (and later F and G) and slightly different fuselage and nose cone shapes.

 

The F-105B generally had less of the nose cone area painted black.

DCANG F-105D from around the same time period
