Slater Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Was Belgian F-104 camouflage similar to the USAF Southeast Asia pattern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul J Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 I'd say yes. Colours too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted November 30, 2018 Share Posted November 30, 2018 Similar but not identical, in pattern and colours used. The pattern was similar but not the same, this can be seen in the extent of the tan area across the mid fuselage section. The Belgian scheme also had a very noticeable wavy demarcation between upper and lower surfaces while USAF aircraft had much less wavy lines. USAF aircraft also had a more feathered demarcation between top and bottom, Belgian ones had a pretty hard demarcation. Regarding colours, the darker green was different: the USAF scheme used the standard FS 34079 of the SEA scheme while the Belgian scheme had FS 34064, slightly darker and more brown. Tot be fully accurate the schemes I've seen for Belgian aircraft had a 2 as first digit, meaning semigloss, so FS 24064, 24102 and 20219 over 26622 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junchan Posted December 2, 2018 Share Posted December 2, 2018 (edited) Very close, but not the same. F-104G, Histoire du Lockheed Starfoghter en Service a L'Otan by Robert Verhegghen quoted the Belgian camo colors as Dark Green 24064, Tan 20219, Green 24102 and Grey 26622 while the US SEA colors were Green 34079, Tan 30219, Green 34102 and Grey 36622, as per the diagrams below.
