A subforum devoted to Camo schemes?

[ysi_maniac]

In the same way as 'Aircraft/Armor/Ships by Topic' to facilitate research

What do you think?

First thread for the new subforum: http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,18959.0.html

Great idea, it would help a lot to gather all cool camo schemes into one area!  Still searching for a suitable modern high altitude scheme.  Any sugestions?

Hemp is good too if you want to get high.....   With a dash of Light Aircraft Grey of course!

Very nice U-2, thanks.  I was wondering about some sort of splinter pattern, with toned down shades for high alt. work. It's either that or white on grey digital, but not sure how effective that would be.

Hi moderators.

Can we have a subforum devoted to Camo schemes, markings, roundels, decorations, etc... Real or fictional.

Thanks,
:mellow:Carlos.

You still can't beat Medium Sea Grey and PRU Blue.

Hmmm.... wouldn't a U-2 or an SR-71 look smart and dashing wearing *that* scheme!?!?

The would be nicer in SEA :-)

I heard that is was very effective as a high altitude camouflage, due to it's ability to reflect varying light conditions.

Ive heard that it supposedly looks like swamp gas...

Doesn't swamp gas look like a weather baloon???

Yes, but only if you are a USAAF intelligence specialist, who should surely recognise balloon type material at first glance...

Or maybe their high alt. camo is so good that the balloon was rammed by a UFO that didn't see it!

Is that the sound of MIB's pulling-up outside ?

Well to keep on topic - I could - and often do - talk for hours and hours on the subject of camo schemes and markings, especially with my good friend Dork, sounds like a good idea to me, it may also prevent the same questions appearing again and again - not that this is such a bad thing - such a board/sub-forum could be a one-stop-shop for all things colour & camouflage related and also be a place where we could all bounce ideas off each other.

On the other hand, people could just continue to use this 'General Modelling' board !
