Hi guys,
Considering future modelling plans, i searched for a US plane that fought in Vietnam while being painted in Silver.
Everything i found was planes painted in the usual 2 tones camo. But i am pretty sure I saw at least once some plane (a F-104 perhaps) that was painted in silver, my imagination?
thanks for viewing!

The three-tone camouflage (green, dark green and tan) was introduced as a result of combat experience in Vietnam, so a lot of aircraft that were there in the early stages were bare metal. They include, in no particular order: F-105, F-104 (with white wings in many cases), B-57, RF-101 (I think), and B-66. There's probably more. Some were always painted, though, so in the early days would have been in their original colours - eg F-102.

Thanks for this Sean, quite what I needed Do anyone know after roughly which year did the planes got their 3 tones camo?

It was towards the end of 1965. So, in effect, during 1966.

Thanks Seán, this will be useful for me too

yep, those metallic colours can really shine on a green and red brown background...
Thanks too Sean, this will come definitely useful
