tony.t Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I think i am going to do a second G in euro 1 scheme as i do quite like it! i can find any information on the LAU-119, were single mavericks mounted to G's with any other launch rails?cheers If you google LAU-117 you should come up with some drawings of the single launch rail. I reckon you can recreate it from the LAU-88 by mating the very top with the bottom rail, in a more than passable state for 1/48. Many of those sites will also give you the LAU-118/Areo 5 mod for the HARM missile. IIRC Hasegawa did see fit to include LAU-34 and the (77/78?) launch rails and missiles for Shrike and Standard ARM in their F-4G kit. If you're hankering after a Euro I example the 52nd TFW flew them with grey/black/red 'low vis' shark's mouths around 1986-87 and they were very impressive-looking machines. Personally, I don't have a preference, all schemes on the F-4G looking fairly cool! The only issue is matching the ECM pod they carried on the left front Sparrow well: George AFB, CA: 'long' ALQ-119 later replaced by ALQ-184 IIRC (modified version of the same pod, but with stuff turned around and a double-decker front gondola)' Spang, WG: ditto, later replaced by ALQ-131 'deep' pod Clark Field: ditto, and don't know what they used in the late years cheers tony t Edited February 19, 2012 by tony.t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandwagon 106 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Clark's Gs used the ALQ-119 and ALQ-184, while the 3rd TFS's Es also had the ALQ-131 while they were deployed to Incirlik during Desert Storm in 1991, alll their Phantoms had red and white sharkmouths through all their colour schemes Still not sure what to do, the perfect cure?-do a little work on those long dormant F-4Es !! Sharkmouths galore here- Ramstein (RS) 86th TFW in wraparound SEA (the 526th TFS's "Nightstalker" from 1983) and 52nd TFW / 480th TFS (SP) from 1985 in Euro 1 Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony.t Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Joel, looks like some PDM Class V mods on those are due. tony t Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bandwagon 106 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hi Tony They've been on hold for a while-about 2 years!!! Picked them up again these last couple of days and in the next pics, they will look a lot more complete. Think this thread gave me some inspiration!

SC2015 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Happy to found this topic. Currently doing some research on one of my next projects and I am wondering when the EUROPEAN scheme was going operational and which unit was first. Does someone here have information about that?

scotthldr Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 I think the A-10 was the first combat a/c to roll out the Euro1 scheme, with the F-4E/G's appearing in the mid 80's. You might get some more info in here http://www.sharpshooter-maj.com/html/deploy80.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zaggy Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 If you're suspect on the colours, do what I do - strip of white plastic card (about 10mm wide) and brush paint some samples onto the strip... See what you get when it dries. also allows you to tune the colours to that of the decals... Dan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
