Hya Ron,

Thats my thoughts on a good scheme for this lethal looking lady.

MMMMMMM Like em all . I was just thinking I needed to do another splinter

[chrisonord]

Russian planes totally suit splinter schemes, they are my favourite camo schemes, they can be an absolute nightmare to do sometimes though.
I am doing a Tu-22m Backfire in a splinter type scheme, and it has been a nightmare to get it right, despite of how big it is
But, I hope it will be worth while when done.
Chris.

Yep I have only done one splinter and it was a pain in the posterior but I did learn from it.

Ron, when you said you were putting Draken Wings on a MiG-29 I thought it sounds cool. But seeing the pictures makes me think IT"S FREAKIN' COOL!  You got yourself some wicked talent there son!

Baz "Screamin Rat" Snell started his fortune running a junk yard. By the early 80's he was one of the largest recyclers in Canada. When he received the contract from the Rebublic of Texas to handle all of its obsolete military hardware one of the stipulations was the he do all the recycling and haz-mat work in the RoT and to only deal in surplus parts to approved Combined Commonwealth allies. In the late 90's he recieved in his huge materials handling complex in the south western Republic a consignment of ex Luftwaffe MiG-29's. Being a pilot and lifelong aviation enthusiast he rebuilt and modified several adding his own designs and utilized his multi billion dollar materials laboratories to vastly improve the
design. He flew several of his modified AC in unlimited class air races and at one race in 2000 he was jokingly told by a high level RoT gov't official that he should enter his plane in the Republics lightweight fighter competiton. In 2002 ,after modifying the design to be a feasible weapons platform, he did and his design not only won but came in under the price of all other competitors.

Iz all true, baby!   Got the "Sanford and Son" theme playing here right now!

In that case, I would go with a Flanker splinter scheme but using the same combination of colors seen on the Israeli F-16s, or there is that beautiful green black and white F-16 Arctic Aggressor scheme.

Sweet! You've got a veritable whiff-factory going on down deep in the heart of Texas!

P.S. I was imagining this beauty with three-tone gray squiggly Luftwaffe nightfighter camo. Might mean I need a drink!

[sotoolslinger]
