Paint Schemes MilViz F-4 Phantom

[stovall]

Thought I would start a thread that details the paint schemes for the upcoming Milviz F-4 Phantom. Here is one for the VFMA-321 aircraft 5900 with sim pics and one of the real thing. Got lucky and found the actual numbers of the paint colors for this beauty.

Great thread, great paint!

'321 is one of my favourite Marine unit schemes. Their late Crusader scheme is gorgeous (thankfully done by Dave Q for the AS/V model) ....

And of course, all the Phantom schemes are very smart - from the early Phantom days ... (which was not that early, 1973 - but still the first reserve USMC unit to transition to Phantoms) ...



right through to the end, as seen here on your great representation of BuNo 5900 / Modex 12.

They had some great transition paints in between, too - ones that apart from the Navy's VF-74, I think were unique to the USMC ...





a bit worn, but well loved Phantoms nonetheless ...

Great job, Tom - looking forward to whatever you, Skyhawk, and anyone else has cooking in the in their paint pots ...

First look at Robin Olds F-4.

Just a side note. The USN repaint for the cloud 9 F-4E that I am familiar with was done by a fellow who flew them in real life. I thought I recognized his name and looked it up, he flew the B or J version in the USN during the Viet Nam era and shot down a Mig 19 in 1972 while a member of the squadron the repaint depicts. At the time the Cloud 9 Phantom was the best one going so I think he decided to roll with what was available.

Wrong! The repaint of the C9 F-4F in VF-161 Rock Rivers (Chargers) paint scheme was done by me! Henry "Black Bart" Bartholomay was on beta with me and he requested it. And yes, it was his MiG-killer I tried to recreate, an F-4B.

Best regards
Dag

Thank you DagR!

Those guys with the Aegean/HAF colours beat me to it. Very nice work but I think they need some corrections in the roundels. The ones Gunnar had in the HAF Hill Gray camo that is included in the pack are more correct in size and colour imho.

I agree, the HAF roundels are wrongly proportioned.


Best regards
Dag

Hey guys, just wondering if there were any paints around that anyone was willing to share? I just downloaded the ones posted above. I'm more than happy to wait until a later release, but thought I would ask here anyway as I wouldn't mind flying in a different livery for a change. Thanks

Still a WIP

I'm really enjoying this thread, even if it's sometimes a little off topic to the original intent above.

You have some absolutely beautiful paints, Tom ... so where can I find/download them (if you've made them available).

Thanks,

Gene K

Gene, many have been submitted to Milviz for release with the finished product. Those not used with the release will be posted for upload here or at Flightsim.com. Thanks for the comment.
