Ok, I've got this built and to the painting stage. All mods done and PSR cycle completed. Mods are 1) Upper turret deleted and faired over 2) glazed nose atached and then 3/4 cut off and the 'short' nose left over from my Meteor added and faired in - lots of PSR there - I do have pic's if any one wants to see, to make a soid nose. 3) 2 cannon ports drilled into the lower part of the nose and 4 hole's drilled for the 4 .50 guns that are going in the nose.
I have also taken the 60lb rockets from my revell Tempest and thee are going to be attached under the wing.
It's going to be a CAS/CoIn machine based in, probably, South America. I need to get the Zotz sheet for it still.

What I need is some accurate ideas for a top cammo scheme. I've done some research on the web, but not really found much. I have had my own idea for a 3 tone scheme of tan, light green, medium green, but I don't know how close to real tis will be. SO, could any one please give me some ideas before I faff th whole thing up.

Thanks

Lance I've a Mystere 4 done in a real Bolivian F86 colours - topsides are 3 reen, green/greys oer grey - looks quite nice.

I can dig out some of the artwork with the transfer sheets for Milton Keynes if you want ?

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Hmmm, you could do it Brazilian to fit in with Chris's scenario?

I would suggest Israeli, but I know you wouldn't do that.

RAF'46?  In Germany?  Invasion of Singapore?  NMF with SEAC roundels and blue ID stripes?  :wub:  :wub:  :wub:

Late 40s Luftwaffe, re-formed to combat the Red-Tide?  Sounds ideal for plinking regiments of JS-3's  :tank:

Lance, theres two here from Don Color, one from Venezeula, the other Peru:

Venezeulan F-16
Peruvian Mirage 2000

Both have painting diagrams with FS colors.  There may be more, these are off a 'exotic plane schemes' siter site, the main sites having difficulties.  I'll try & drag some off there for you when it feels like playing.

There's plenty of other diagrams from other parts of the world too, worth a look.  It includes US aggressor schemes, they're usually damn close to the originals they're based on:

No South American schemes, but IPMS Stockholm has all sorts on their colour charts, all to FS.  Of cousre, they are the be all & end all for accuracy ;) :

I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Thanks for all the help fellahs, I can get on and work some good schemes out from this little lot.
