Tato Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Hello guys! I have some questions regarding the Hellenic Air Force F-84F. The TAC camo scheme applied on this aircraft have the same basic colors of the SEA camo? Or there were some variations? It would be correct to use FS 34102, FS 34079, FS 30219 and FS 36622? If not, what are the correct FS colors? Also, did the ejection seat of the F-84G differ to much compare to the one used in the F-84F? I want to use a resin ejection seat, but for the F there are only full resin cockpits available and I'm just looking for a simple fast build. Thank you for the help!

bentwaters81tfw Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 It will depend on the airframe you wish to model. The F-84F used 2 different seats. The later seat was similar to that in the F-105. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMrEd Posted October 5, 2019 Share Posted October 5, 2019 Just to muddy the waters a bit, the new color call outs for the new JP Productions 1/72 F-84F call out the dark green on the Belgium aircraft as 34064 vs 34079 as used by USAF. I have no idea why, or whether it was used by Greece, but it's a possibility... Ed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was looking the Italeri kit (Kinetic) instructions and the color they call out is 34064. So now, it seems that it may have existed a different version of the TAC scheme? Also, anyone knows how is the customers service from italeri? I need a pair of fuel tanks. Regards, Tato Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct. Of course the sun had an effect and after a short while the ccolours got bleached. What tanks do you need? PM me. Martin Edit: I just checked my Icarus decal set and the greens were FS34079 and FS34102 Edited October 7, 2019 by RidgeRunner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was used not only F-84F but also F-104 and Mirage V. However this variation was only used by the Belgians, Greek aircraft used the standards USAF colours... unless they received any former Belgian aircraft, that would have retained their Belgian colours. I know that Greece received former Dutch and German RF-84Fs, not sure about any aircraft from Belgium. FS 34064 is a bit browner than the standard 34079 of the SEA scheme Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RidgeRunner Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 No Belgian machines went to Greece, Giorgio. In fact most, if not all, were scrapped. The RFs went on as instructional airframes for many years. Martin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRealMrEd Posted October 11, 2019 Share Posted October 11, 2019 Appears that it is USAF colors all the way: Ed 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
