The yellow was sprayed over the aluminum without a white underlay. A coat of flat Insignia Yellow was followed by a Chrome Yellow overcoat. Tamiya acrylics and Model Master enamels were used for the markings and other painted parts. The markings are for the airplane flown by Lt. Jacob Kratt, who shot down two MiG 15's and a Yak piston engine fighter. Not your usual F-84G record in the Korean war as they were tasked with ground attack most of the time, though they were used to escort B-29's early in the war. Jacob Kratt was in the 56th Fighter Group in WW II, and flew the U-2 for the CIA. He was born in 1925 and died in April 2019, a long and eventful life.
I had a Cutting Edge decal set and used a few decals from it but it was primarily used as a reference for the markings which were mostly painted, except for the stars and bars.
