My brothers lad has some pyjamas for when he stays over with us that are pretty close to that, seriously!  Nice work on the dazzle pattern. :party:
I don't think it's nice, you laughin'. You see, my mule don't like people laughin'. He gets the crazy idea you're laughin' at him. Now if you apologize, like I know you're going to, I might convince him that you really didn't mean it.

Now that is looking astounding Simon  :thumbsup:
I am looking forward to seeing the finished colour scheme that's for sure.
So I can pinch it!! ;D ;D ;D
Cheers,

Thankyou, gentlemen.  There's still another colour to go on for additional splinter patches, with its own highlights, and I'll likely be adding some shadow effect on the grey as well.  Sort of a Dazzle meets Angolan Three Green, meets Swedish Splinter effect.

I love this - the concept as well as the camo pattern are awesome. Keep it up!

Can't wait to see more.
My mind is like a compost heap: both "fertile" and "rotten"!

Well, the top surface camo has been finished, thought I'd share it with you folks...

I think it's awesome - it looks like something from an Ace Combat game, and that'd meant as a big compliment!
It could be an 'ace scheme', almost. I really like this!

Good grief, that gives me a headache just looking at it! Excellent. :thumbsup:

One suggestion - what about adding a stinger (or even twin stingers a la S-37 Berkut), to balance out that looooong nose? Those tail booms would be the perfect place for such an addition.
Some of my models can be found on my Flickr album >>>HERE<<<

Thankyou, gents - I got the inner plates for the intakes fitted today, along with the canopy, though it'll take some putty to fit the windscreen to the fuselage.

Pyro, your idea is a great one, and I would love to, unfortunately, the engine cans aren't fitted yet, and the Saturns will stand out a fair length, which makes for problems with any tail stingers - That, and if you look at it, the long nose pushes the shockwaves forward, and shifts the Center of Gravity, which also means the Area Ruling is slid further back, lending the aircraft more speed optimizing.
