It works for me, bit of a double take as well :)

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

Woah that's a great idea there Cap'n and you've pulled it off with your usual stunning style! I love it!  :wub:

It's a natural in those markings!

Agreed to the agreed!

VERY nice indeed!

Captain Canada

Thanks guys !

I think anything with that gaping hole in the nose would look good in those colours. I might try an F-100 Super Sabre next time. Would also look good in the silver w/ tulips.

I scribed the panel lines on this one, and 'pre-shaded' them. Makes it look good and dirty. The only other thing I did was to cut down the tail planes, as they were round and funny looking.

Agree with what all the others have said toad, that is one seriously good looking aircraft there. It's also a real head turner too.

That's a goodie, Toad.

The tulip petals really look great on almost anything, don't they?

Very nice,particularly  when one knows that the J-29 was a Ta-183 derivative ;)  
King Arthur: Can we come up and have a look?
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.

Sweeeeeeet.


So do you give your wife tulips for Mother's Day?



Ohhhh Ohhh, I just got an idea!!!
