This 1998 sheet is designed for the Tamiya F-84G, though there is no reason to suppose that they might not fit the ProModeler G as well. In fact, since one of these markings is for an F-84E, you will have to use the Revell kit for this one as there are differences between the E and G.

First is 'Ladies Wild' from the 7 FBS/49 FBW in 1952. Like all the others, it is in natural metal with an OD anti-glare panel in front of and behind the cockpit.

Next is 'New Orleans Kid' from the 111 FBS. This is one of the ANG units called into action during the war. Aeromaster printed the blue too light so put in an addendum sheet with the correct shade for this aircraft.

Finally, the lone F-84E, 'Dolph's Devil'. This is an 8 FBS/49 FBW plane from 1951. Should you decide to use the Tamiya G model, you'll have to fill in the inlet door in the nose, lengthen the exhaust area a bit, fill in the air refueling receptacle and probably get one of the earlier speed brakes.

I should also mention that there is another partial sheet with all the buzz numbers and insignia/USAF markings for one plane.
