Quote from: Wardukw on October 16, 2023, 05:03:37 PMThe Airfix kit actually provides a pair of Rb 04 and, Rb 05 missiles. The former, in particular look pretty big and  mean so, I'll definitely be using them on one of the models!

Rb04s RULE OK!

That's pretty much exactly what I have in mind Fred ..low and FAF 😀
A very impressive site it would be in my minds eye 👁 😉

Legacy Rick...this isn't a new plane anymore..but then again neither is the F-111   

Update...she's under coated and today paint will flow.
I'm going with Fred's idea with the blue..not exactly the same blue but close..well to my eyes anyway and it makes more sense.
The AUSCAM will be the top colours of course but in the same style as the original Viggen camo ..splinter 

Aussie splinter will be a challenge! Carry on!!

Where's the fun Ken if there's no challenge huh ??
   🤪
It's gonna be bloody interesting that's for sure .

Like this?  Only Aus Cam?  I don't envy you masking it.

Yes! looking forward to seeing the splinter camo , respect!   

Hmmm?! That's a 4-colour scheme, so you'll have to use all 4 regular RAAF colours minus the black or 3 of the regular colours and the black, rather than replacing the greens with the browns, as they did on the 'Bous.

The three phases of Caribou Camouflage;

The cam paint I have has 3 .green ..brown and black ..so what's the 4th colour ? 🤔

Oh there's method in the madness mate  ..won't be as hard as I'll make it look

Cheers Leigh 🍻..this I think will look pretty cool 😎

For the extra colour it's either going to be a flat earth or a dark green ...the good thing is that nether of these colours cover large areas..the three primary colours do..these are like gap fillers which does kinda point me to the dark green as it works nicely with the AUSCAM  green and brown 😀
But so does the earth too..bugga 😐

I think I would paint the lightest color overall first then print some decals in random splinter patterns in the other colors. Masking each splinter would drive me nuts. Lots easier to draw some up on the computer. If there is pointer decals out there I'm imagine they are in the Swedish colors. You might be able to use the black and the light shade of green.

I might paint mine in the Hill scheme as for F-16s. I have decals for that in the stash. Unless I think of something more interesting.

That's exactly what I do Ken..lightest colour first..that's the base and I do cut and make my own masks .
Don't have any ability to make my own decals and wouldn't even know where to start...having to buy a printer would be first on the list 

Some one does a masking set for the SwAF 'Fields and Meadows' schemes, but I don't know if it's available for 1/48 as well.
