Quang, this may be helpful. It was sent to me by a fellow BM forum member. https://www.scalespot.com/reviews/kits/rf101-kh/review.htm Martin

Thanks Chek, actually, as you will see, the TAC doc describes the colours as mixes so there wont be any FS,
-
So, was the original question answered adequately and would an adapted F-84F tank suffice to represent one of the long tanks?
-
Well, that's Wikipedia for you!
-
Does anyone on here have an idea of the FS numbers of the colours used on this and other machines in this scheme?

Hi Quang, Those shots aren't from TSN. I think - I would need to check - they were taken at Udorn, Thailand. I have better reference images so ewhere that show you exactly that. There is also at least one YouTube video of them too ;). M

Further, during the early sixties, around the Cuba emergency, there was at least one RF-101A or C (I dont know) is a toned down scheme, wraparound and with black, toned-down markings, similar to modern day insignia. I only know of one image of this machine.Not enough to base a model on :(. As always, I'm happy to be proved wrong! Martin

Thanks Kevin. I will be upfront in that I am a 1/72 modeller but having been invited to join LSP and seeing some of the content I felt I could contribute as well as learn Martin

Hi all, I've recently joined LSP, being invited in by Quangster. The period of time in question was one of experimentation in terms of camouflage. It was pre-Vietnam. The Greens and brown mix came out of a test programme, documented in TAC-TR-63-8 of October 1963, in which two aircraft were painted in experimental schemes. One (54-1513) was the often referred to "black" machine and the other (54-1514) was in a greens/brown scheme. It is described in the following text: https://www.flickr.com/photos/153072187@N06/46525901355/in/album-72157704162599655/ The Voodoos illustrated here and elsewhere in a "green and black" scheme are a result of those tests. They were operated from Thailand for recce flights over Laos and Cambodia. The RF-101A didn't operate in the Vietnam theatre. Martin
