F-4Bs loaned to the US Air Force

Recommended Posts

Has anyone done an US Air Force F-4B skin? As presumably everyone knows, the USAF borrowed 29 F-4Bs for trials. They retained their USN national marking positions, and received USAF serials. This is 62-12168/149405.
 

I've done an F-4C Gull Grey/White skin, but I haven't released it.

Sheriff001, are you sure of that? The photo shows a very early F-4C. The SEA camouflage was applied later on.

It doesn't. The number on the tail is five digits of a BuAer number that corresponds to an F-4B bailed to the USAF for evaluation. Early F-4Cs did wear Gull Grey/White (as did early RF-4Cs), but this is definitely an F-4B.

 

The F-4B in Bkackburn32's pic is BuAer 150652/USAF 62-12178.

Skin will be fast done.

Use Sundowner´s Templates for the F-4B and just add USAF mks...

I just completed some skins and they have been uploaded! Although I may need to do some edits to get the serials right.

There is ADC grey, light gull grey, and coin grey.

Not all the same.

Probably no perceivable difference on a carrier deck, but the rivet counters will tell you the difference.
