Need whiffers help...

[Slerski]

I know that we have here "la crème des crèmes" of whiffery. So I need your help.
I'm working on a jet-powered french-built fighter prototype and looking for a "demonstrator" livery.
Does anyone have an idea ?

I'd suggest white with red and blue trim.  If the prototype's a bit under-powered, make it bare metal with red and blue trim.

My twopenn'th:

Depends on what era it is:

1950s and early '60s: bare metal with a red/blue pinstripe,

Late 1960s to early 1990s: white with red/blue pinstripe,

Mid-1970s to early 1990s alternative: "fake" cammo. Glossy paint, either white and blue-grey or sand and stone, depending on who it's being demonstrated to.

With any scheme, the name of the aircraft should be written on the nose in a "handwriting signature" style.
