Cool! Looking forward to your updates on this one.  Could we get some shots of the underside? It looks to have an interesting engine configuration.

F-4 Phantom  + A-6 Intruder?

Wicked-cool technique on the camo.

No kidding! Wow. Been wondering how to make a marbleized look like that for a long time now

That's some very imaginative work, arkon! I really like that blue camo. Reminds me of water shimmering with sunlight.

We should change your name from arkon to artist. That's a very imaginative masking you did there, with certainly great looking results
