Well I totally fell in love with the raspberry ripple paint sheme after seeing F-104, F-105, Grippens  TSR-2 and others model on this colors.
Two hours ago I was reading Kitnut post in alternative history (thread on the B-58...) but my computer stubbornly refused to open the link to the whatif and odd ball model page :huh: .
So  I directly went to the site and watched Kitnut concorde bomber building... and a daring idea come to my mind...

A BOMBCORD IN RASPBERRY RIPPLE!!!!!

I imediately started work on my (crap) Bombcord (the modifications to the plane were not too bad, but the piant sheme was awful!!!)... it has now red tail, red wingtips... well, I'll have to spread  white paint on a gigantic surface, but if it works, that could give a fantastic looking plane!!! I also changed the canards for (shortened) F-16 wings...

I plan to open a thread on the "workbench" section...

French Soldier: Of course not. You're English types.
King Arthur: What are you then?
French Soldier: I'm French. Why do you think I have this outrageous accent, you silly king?

Well regardless I would rather take my chance out there on the ocean, that to stay here and die on this poo-hole island spending the rest of my life talking to a gosh darn VOLLEYBALL.

I would recommend you use a can of acrylic spray paint for the white - over here we use a brand called Halfords (automotive supply chain store).  Excellent stuff.  Maybe you can nip down the chunnel  ;)

sorry, this sentence exceed my current level of english...
Thanks for the tip, I understand that the "ordinary" way of painting is not adapted for such a big surface...

to "nip down" somewhere is to make a short, quick journey, eg "Could you nip down the shops and get me a loaf of bread please"

well I managed to paint the beast with my tiny humbrol paint pot and my brush... not too difficult, but I totally exhausted the pot!  The result is not too bad (even if the digital camera tend to mask the defaults!) but need refinement

You should really wait until after you're finished painting to do that :)  I've heard it increases creativity, but really, this is a family board!

Jennings, that's just wrong, but I love it.
