As with the 109, one can never have enough F-4 sheets. This particular one has a pair of rather fancifully painted F-4s from Vietnam during 67-68, a time of minimal MiG activity. Neither is a MiG killer, but I'm sure they saw plenty of action dropping ordnance during that time. Both are in the standard SEA colors of FS 34079, 34102, 30219 over 36622 and were undoubtedly rather scruffy from operating in those climes.

The upper aircraft is the the Wing Commander's plane and maintained by the 480th TFS/366 TFW. This is an F-4D as you can tell by the additional 'bump' on the under nose IR seeker.

The other is also a Wing CO's bird and maintained by the 559th TFS/12th TFW. This is a late build F-4C and has blue on the canopy rails, tip of the drop tanks and tip of the inner pylon.

It is interesting to see the difference in presentation of the Wing CO's stripes on these planes.

The sheet includes insignia and some other common markings for both planes as well as 'patch' decals in case they are needed, a nice touch.
