Gorgeous work Weav Love that paint scheme

Och Weaver, why did you not do it in the original Blue/White scheme of the display team?

Because I didn't know about it until I'd committed to the white/orange.....

The white/black/red is excellent.  IMHO, a much more striking scheme.

[Mossie]

Well, Weave's done it now & I think it looks pretty good as it is.

[Weaver]

Thanks folks!

Turns out that my various decal sheets don't quite have what I need after all, so I'm going to have to do a bit of self-printing. Since it's only a bit, it will have to go on the combined sheet for the Trainers with Teeth Birds, which is not ready yet.

So hurry up and wait, basically.....

Cheers!

More trouble: the display team badges my decal sheet has are red. Turns out that these are the ones for the old blue/white scheme: the white/dayglo ones have blue badges, bizarrely. So I think I'm going to give up on the display team: the white/dayglo is identical to the standard training academy scheme anyway, so I'll put the academy badges on instead, which ARE right. In any case, "normal" Mags seem to put on displays too....

Since I havn't managed to find some small Israeli roundels with rings round them (for use on a white background) and since some weird incompatibility between my PC and/or my screen and/or my printer is making it stupidly difficult to print round circles, I've come up with another option, which is to paint the engine nacelles blue, thus allowing the use of regular, borderless Israeli roundels (which I've got).

Approximation below (the roundel goes on the engine door behind the wing). What do you think?

[chrisonord]

Its very nice!!
Now stop being silly and paint it camouflage 
It looks bob on to me "H", would look even better encrusted with rocket pods and guns
Cheers,
Chris.

There is more to life than guns and bombs! (havn't found out what yet, but someone once told me there was.......)

Anyway, it's the Israeli aquisition of these for their training programme that makes their old straight-wing Mags surplus and available to Central Americas at  a discount.....

So elegant...

Hmmm?
I have a magister in the stash, but I think that will get a FLIR ball on it and minimal armament on it. It can join the T-33 I have done as a FAC turkey.

Okay, well on the basis of the one vote i recieved, plus my casting vote, I've painted the engine nacelles blue. Needs another coat yet:



It's only masking tape, but that yellow looks kinda sexy too, doesn't it? Not going there for this one, which is supposed to vaguely resemble an actual Israeli scheme, but worth bearing in mind for any other trainer project that crops up......

That color scheme gives your Super Magister a very eye-popping "Op Art" look, Weaver! Definitely on the way to becoming a real show-stopper!
