All these really are way cool camo schemes. Seems they would be effective too. Noted how RAAF F-104 dark in middle light at ends can hide it or mess with distance perception.

It was almost real: Mexico selects Sukhoi Su-27 for strategic surveillance (was later cancelled).

I really like the ARDU MiG-21 :)

Great ideas on all of these. The Pink Flanker and ARDU 21' especially. I was about to say that the Su-27 family looks good in pretty much any paint, but then I remember seeing a few done on Hyper' with all-body custom decals on a "hello-kitty" theme. Not good... forced down in a litter-box.... ;-)

Am also very impressed with your use of different fonts , scripts and colors for the texts, nice touch !

Thanks Russ! Things slowly evolved over time, graphics wise. These profiles you're seeing at the moment are from 2006/2007. From that I've evolved into this...........

really neat Finnish birds Richard, be nice to see your modern scheme on some other types too, Hornet, Mig.29 ?

cheers, Joe

Joe,

Didn't the first MiG-29 kit out (Fujimi?) have speculative Finnish markings for the MiG-29? Given the kit's inaccuracies (there are problems with being first off the blocks), that's probably the best part of the kit.

I don't know why but that Mozabique Phantom really strikes my fancy....Oh wait, it might be because it's really cool lookin' :)

Always Loved your Phantom's.........

taiidantomcat · « **Reply #239 on:** March 05, 2012, 09:25:27 PM »

As always the camo schemes and colors are top notch

I have whole lists of projects with Gekko schemes planned

Any chance of seeing the second and third ones of that last set combined to make a Su-27 in RAF desert scheme?

Love the He 162s. Keep them coming.

Just a thought Richard: Could you lower/flatten/extend forward the windscreen / canopy? The current "bulge" screams drag and lower profile canopy would be improve the otherwise streamline look.

Sorry Carl, but that would be quite a lot of work to change the profile outline, then all the shading and highlighting etc. More He 162's to come though!
