Not sure if I should post this here or under aircraft, because it's a paint scheme question and not yet a build...

A bunch of stuff that has been keeping me from my bench will soon wrap-up. This leads me to thinking about a new build (after I finish up a few started projects ::) ) - I'd like to build another F-105d, maybe in 1:48 or 1:32, in USAF European wrap-around camo. The problem I have is that I only have painting reference for the upper surfaces. I know the undersurfaces are not light grey (as they would be for a SEA scheme). I did several google searches, but only found upper, or kind of isometric top images.

Does anyone have any info or painting referances to help me out? I have the decals for the F-105d "My Karma" already.

I just did a search for F-105D "My Kharma" in Google images, and found lots.

Looks like a wrap around camo

Thanks Scott. I found similar images also, but it's the under surfaces that I'm wondering about. The bottom of the wings and such...
 
I would say going by the last photo above, seems like the camo wraps around the whole aircraft. What you see on top, is what you see on the bottom.
