RAAF F-102 colors poll

Grey/Grn Mirage scheme, if only to watch the purists doing a neck-snapping double-take at your next meeting/show/comp !

I think I'm going to say "screw democracy" and paint mine in air defense gray.

Just kidding.

At the moment I'm leaning towards silver (I mistyped in the poll, F-102s were painted silver, not natural metal) with 77 Sq markings. It would historically make more sense for the RAAF to leave the airframes in their delivery colors, but I have a couple photos of some ANG F-102s in silver and they look sooooooooooo good.

That said, I do have a set of 2 OCU markings, which would allow me do silver with yellow intakes. Decisions, decisions.

Then again, I also have markings for the ARDU fanta can scheme....

Go with the Mirage IIIO scheme.

If you 'Google - Image Search' (other search engines are available), 57th FIS/Keflavik you'll see no-end of Deuces' in 'Duralumin' and ADC Grey, sitting alongside each other on the flightline. Nice to compare the two finishes..... still say the Green/Grey is the way to go !

Best
