The Wild Weasel’s Camouflage Schemes

There are three different paint schemes of different units in the MENG LS-015 1/48 McDonnell Douglas F-4G Phantom II Wild Weasel model kit.

The paint scheme A is for the aircraft piloted by LTC Mark Turberville and electronic warfare officer LTC Jim Uken from the 561st Fighter Squadron of the 57th Wing of the USAF stationed at the Dhahran Air Base of Saudi Arabia in January 1996. This aircraft took part in the Gulf War in 1991 and played an important role in the Operation Desert Shield and the Operation Desert Storm. A cartoon Wild Weasel image was painted on the port boundary layer splitter plate. As a professional electronic warfare aircraft, the F-4G could penetrate into the target area in a highly defended environment, accurately detect and classify radiation sources, and then effectively suppress and destroy Iraqi ground radars and air defense weapons. As a result, the Iraqi radar operators were afraid to turn on radars for fear of being attacked.

The paint scheme B is for the aircraft piloted by COL R Peksens Weasel I from the 23rd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the USAF stationed at the Incirlik Air Base of Turkey in March 1991. This aircraft took part in the Operation Desert Shield and the Operation Desert Storm between 1990 and 1991. It was used to suppress and destroy the Iraqi ground radars and air defense weapon systems.

The paint scheme C is for the aircraft piloted by LTC Cotner and electronic warfare officer CAPT Legget from the 81st Tactical Fighter Squadron of the 52nd Tactical Fighter Wing of the USAF stationed at the Spangdahlem Air Base of Germany in July 1987. This scheme features the famous USAF European One camouflage. As a tactical camouflage for the European theater, a tri-color camouflage which suited the European landscape was used to replace the Southeast Asian camouflage that had been used for many years. It’s also the main camouflage of the USAF Tactical Air Command (TAC).
