Going on the theory that one can never have enough F-4 decal sheets, here is one just for ANG Recce birds. All of them are in the SEA scheme of FS 34102/34079/30219. Those not in the SEA wraparound scheme will have FS 36622 light grey undersides. For kits, none were recommended, but we now have a number of excellent ones from Hasegawa and Fujimi. Also around are ESCI versions which are nice, though not as detailed. All of these RF-4Cs will have the older and more square camera access panels.

First off  is a 192 TRS, Nevada ANG bird in slightly special markings for the 1981 'Photo Finish' recce competition. This aircraft is in the wrap around finish.

From the 165 TRS, Kentucky ANG is another semi special markings from the 1982 'Best Focus' competition in Denmark. It is also in the wrap around scheme.

Third scheme is from the 173 TRS, Nebraska ANG in standard markings and wrap around finish.

The final and most colorful scheme is also from the 173 TRS. This time with the light grey underside and decked out for the 1981 'Photo Finish' competition.

The sheet provides insignia for three planes if one is the last option. There are common markings and data for two planes. You have to realize that this was the time frame of LOTS of stencils so that will be fun applying all this stuff! Fortunately a good guide is provided on the instruction sheet.
