Hi Jeremy - Vietnam War era Air Force aircraft wore the same colors. Green FS 34079, green FS 34102, tan FS 30219 and the bottom is light gray FS 36622. The light gray is very light and just may have shown up as white on the box photos. These colors are available from Humbrol, Model Master and other companies. Hope this helps.

Regards,

Pat

I believe Bubbamoosecat is correct on the F-4C. The Navy F-4J’s had white undersides with Gull Gray topsides.

Bubbamoosecat is 100% correct on the colors used by the USAF. The Navy used white undersides and Light Gull Gray topsides.
