Strange places for inspiration?

[John Howling Mouse]

Ever wanted to do an aircraft (or other vehicle) paint scheme based on the markings of a moth?

Would look great on a Luft '46 Horten!

I agree some of those moths have great patterns and would be perfect on a Horten.

Not a moth, but I've always thought the turret of the T-55 tank looks like a hamburger bun.   Add sesame seeds and that thing can take on the (fat) USofA with success!  


The moth idea is great!   #7865 Banded Sphinx Moth gets my vote for a combat version, #7826 Huckleberry Sphinx Moth for a racing post-war version.

I've always reckoned that the Harrier GR1/3 looks like a giant insect, and I've one in the stash for just that....one eye (the canopy in black-metallic coloured hues, with some horrid colours on the fuselage/wings and large transparent=type fly wings attached.

The flying wing idea using moth schemes is a cracker.

Also, I reckon the Horton 229 is a great "boomerang" shape....why not one in Aboriginal markings?

Phew, what a relief ! I thought you were going to spout off some story about sitting on the john or somat. But it's just about moths ! Some very lovely examples there !
