Grumman X-29 alternate scheme

[KiwiZac]

Hi all,
I bought the Hasegawa 1/72 X-29 as inspiration for another project and decided to complete it OOB except for the paint, as I've never liked the stock scheme and hate painting white. So, in the vein of the X-35, I thought it'd be fun just to have it in greys. I was tempted to arm it, but I can easily do that any time.

Couldn't bothered making a backstory, and my camera's battery died after one photo, so here it is: the X-29 around 1992 during research flights for Project MIDNIGHT SKY.

Looks right mate

It does look better like that ! Almost sleeker.....

If it's still in the test phase, maybe paint the giant pitot tube orange ?

What Chris and The Cap'n said. 

It looks great in the double grey scheme, maybe the ONLY aircraft that looks better in grey....

Looks better than expected - but I can confirm that from my recent F-24 conversion that was based on an X-29 (with delta wings, though) and received a simple F-16 style livery. Suits the aircraft well, and this here confirms that. Nice
