This is yet a third sheet for the F-84E/G. Once again, the Tamiya kit is the one recommended, though if one is to do an E model, the Revell kit is really a bit more accurate. Both of these aircraft are in unpainted metal with olive drab anti-glare panels.First up is an F-84G-1 from the 79 FBS/20 FBW. It has all the yellow trim and is really a pretty straight-forward scheme.

The other is an F-84E-5 from the 22 FBS/36 FBW. This one has black and red trim with a large "R" on the fin. You may notice that this aircraft does not have the canopy reinforcement. I'd recommend painting the fin tips rather than using the decals as it will just look better.

The sheet provides enough common data and insignia for one of the two options.
