Thanks Blue That is a Metallizer called burnt iron.

That's intense, Ron!  Great combination of shades....gonna look ultra-menacing.

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Barry .The markings will be somewhat more subtle than my usual

I have been watching this all the way through Ron, what can I say???
I just love the way this bird has come out
Oh by the way, can I have your address so I can send you my planes to paint please
Totally excellent and way beyond my muppet handed skills
Chris.

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks C but if I let you send your models to me my wife would beat me

It looks very "insect-like", way cool.

[sotoolslinger]

Yeah I kept thinking it looked sort of Hornety or Yellowjackety .

[sotoolslinger]

Picked out some details with markers and such

Installed the exhausts




MANY VERY BIG THANKS TO Brian Da Basher and Black Ops for the images of low viz RoT decals

[BlackOps]

Such a crazy cool paintjob! Love the multi-tone metals, really looks good on an already fabulous shape! 

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks Jeff and thanks again for the images

[Sauragnmon]

The multi-metal pattern does give it a very interesting look, it's not quite NMF is it Ron.  She looks quiet neat indeed though.

[cthulhu77]

It is a neat approach to a metal finish.  Nice concept too ! ( )

[sotoolslinger]

Thanks y'all (except for Cthulhu) Actually this is a Hog special , he wants me to paint everything very, very, off white This is my attempt to make solid black somewhat interesting. It is supposed to represent an AC with no actual paint except for markings. All the different colors just represent different anti corro finishes
