I have the ultra dark navy color but it always ends up looking black .I like the idea of dark green. I will draw it out in pencil first then mask everything. I'll post pics as I go along so y'all can throw out suggestions.

Well I got so involved in the masking that I forgot to post the in progress
Remasked

Repainted with dark green

Peeled





I am still not entirely satisfied :huh: I will let this set tonight and think about it while I do some work on my new project. Tomorrow I will remask yet again and shoot on the really dark navy blue I have. Really getting tired of masking but I am not satified yet.

What you've done here is nothing short of sorcery!

Blending these two together should have been incredibly hard, but for you it seems to be the most natural thing in the world.  She's perfect, and she looks so NATURAL - this one really should have been real. 

Brilliant!   :wub: :wub: :wub:

"not entirely satisfied"  Dang, you're a hard man to please.  I think it looks pretty good.

:cheers:

Dazzling Camo, Ron.

Yeah, the green doesn't fit very right.  You need almost a blackish blue to get with it cleanly, the green stands out too much.

Thanks y'all I am pleased you like it. I must admit it is one of my favorite shapes for an AC that I have done in a while. Kudos and a big Texas yeehaw to JP Vieira for the idea and ARC for the color scheme. I had planned on adding the dark blue today but it is raining so I will open up a thread on the new project instead. :wacko:
