One can never have enough F-4 sheets and this one is for some of the last active duty US aircraft, the F-4G Wild Weasel. All are in the Hill Grey II scheme of FS 36118 over FS 36270. For kits, you have both Hasegawa and Testors/Italeri, though the vast majority will pick the more detailed Hasegawa kit for this sheet.

First up is the 190FS Idaho ANG bird with the WW tail code taken from the 35 TFW and the shark mouth taken from the 90 FS/ 3 TFW.

The last active USAF unit to fly the F-4G was the 561 FS/57 FW at Nellis AFB. There are two of their aircraft on this sheet the first one having a ygbsm weasel and mission marks on the splitter plate. The other is the farewell scheme from 1996.

All of these planes were eventually turned into QF-4G drones and either have been or will be expended as aerial targets.

The sheet provides insignia and slime lights for all three planes.
