Melbourne Model Expo (2011)

Like old Drakken schemes. Very nice though. I really like that.

 

[vikingBerserker]

Nice! Always makes me giggle when I see that colour scheme - all the thought, time and effort to get an effective camouflage scheme, then they plaster it in his visibility, bright yellow 'Aim Here' triangles!

I agree!

Control: Do you see anything?
Pilot: Nope, just a tree going mach 1, but it has 3 large yellow triangles on it so it can't be an Israeli Fighter, I mean what idiot would do that?????

 

[Crimea_River]

I quite like that one.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

 

[Wayne Little]

That really is well done! What was the purpose of the girant yellow triangles?

IIRC the Israeli's were not the only ones with Mirages at the time so they didn't want any misidentification between friend or foe.

Unless it was formation flying - put a few together and you've got a huge, airborne Nuclear Hazard sign !

 

[Wayne Little]

next subject an FA-18

 

[Crimea_River]

Love it!

 

[Airframes]

Certainly looks good. Not having seen an Aussie version 'in the flesh', do they get that dirty? Some of the pics I've seen hint at it I must admit.

 

[Gnomey]

Good one!

 

[vikingBerserker]

That I like!

 

[Matt308]

Well done.

 

[Wayne Little]

and a friend of Terry's in IAF scheme and markings...

 

[Airframes]

Nicely done - even though it's a 'What if'. Funnily enough, I've just been messing with my Buc, with a view to bunging the wings on, sticking a tow tractor up front, and calling it finished. Yeah, right .....

 

[Matt308]

I love that airplane.

 

[Gnomey]

Nice one!

[Crimea_River]

Like that one.

 

[Airframes]

Me too. The rib tapes look good.
