Title: JASDF FS-Z
Post by: TinMan on July 28, 2014, 01:50:22 AM

Greetings everyone,
I am thinking about doing a scratch build JASDF FS-X concept fighter.  I am looking for input on a camouflage theme for it. The new blue on blue is ok, but I am looking ofr soemthing that will make a lasting impression on the viewer. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
TinMan

What about some of the schemes worn by the F-15Js?

Be interesting to see a stealth fighter done up in the scheme applied to 204th Squadron's F-15J for the tenth anniversary of their operation of the F-15J; that Eagle scheme is quite attractive.

Nice pictures! I like the Cherry Blossom with Mt. Fuji.  What about a three color splinter camo aka SU-37?

How about the markings of the Death's-head Hawkmoth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death's-head_Hawkmoth)?

I wish the USAF would do something like this once and a while.
