- You are quite right in that the "Southeast Asia/Vietnam" scheme
- consists of 30219/34079/34102/36222. F-4:s in the "European I"
- scheme have a wraparound of 34079/34102/36081 (which differs from
- other aircraft that have either 34092/34102/36118 or
- 34092/34102/36081).
-
- But "European I" may be a too modern scheme for the decals that
- go with the kit.
