No backstory, just a hypothetical 25th anniversary scheme in 1986. Paints are Tamiya Fine White Primer, Revell Aqua Lufthansa Blue, Tamiya XF-7 red. Decal roundels were terrible, so better ones were grabbed from the stash.

Very nice, but wasn't they molded in that colour

Fully agree with Chris. Should have been molded in those colours.

That looks so right Ratty 

 

                  

Pretty. 

Commem schemes are the BUSINESS! A great way to use some decent colours instead of the all-pervading GREY these days!

Half the bits were a baby blue, the other half medium grey.

And there's a possible idea for a Group Build...

(Sorry missed this) Perfect colour scheme/build           

    

Thank you gentlemen!

Yep, that's purdy, and a good way to do a commemorative scheme too: using the kit breakdown to set the edges. 

The intakes should have been the opposite colours to the wings though...

Seriously thought about that, in the end it was a 50/50 decision. In retrospect that would have been better, the sides would have shown the tricolor.
