Hi folks,

There seem to be a few colour schemes that work on just about anything e.g. Raspberry Ripple, RAAF ARDU Fanta Can, Swiss WWII.  What others can you think of?

Regards,

SE Asia type....essentially Tan, Green and Dark Green.
I also favour natural metal, and currently, Gloss Light Grey.

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

Hill scheme! Ok, just kidding, i like the Russian Mig-29 scheme (green-light grey), and late war RAF scheme (green-dark grey), and ive got a soft spot for hi-vis USN schemes

Take any Adversary/Aggressor camo, especially those splinters done by VFC-13. The Jag-M camo aint too bad either ;)

RAF hemp over grey is beautiful. (Wish the Vulcan had stayed around long enough to get that) :wub:

European "lizard" wraparound from the 80s has always been a favorite of mine.

Viggen and Ukrainian Flanker splinter jobs are both wicked.

I was also rather partial to the last scheme the ANG A-7s wore, kind of a two grey camo wraparound. It used grey without being boring.
