Did you notice the extra gunports painted on BigMac Jr. ?

Do they fire paint gun rounds?  ;D :lol:

Airborne paintball, like that idea. It was my second favorite aspect of the horrid "Iron Eagle Aces" movie, most favorite aspect was Rutan's Ares  :mellow:

Stumbled upon this somewhat neat Kongolese Mi-24:

Does look as though it means business

Interesting if not creative nose art on a Bf 110:

Not seen that 110 before, interesting. I've seen a Belgian WWI Farman with a similar skull though

110 looks good, I cannot make out the background, would it be on grey camo or desert. Bloke in cockpit looks rather warm so I guess desert...

Warm can simply be high summer. I think it looks more like the wide open areas of Russia

And if you don't like it you can drop it.   ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Here's another variant, works VERY well - but dropping the KKR-1 pod would be more expensive, I guess...



I also know of a mouse design (cute, with whiskers on the pointed nose), but could not find a web pic.

Not a Tiger's mouth, but a neat variation of Mi-24 decorations:

I've seen a colorized version of the above photo too.

Some time ago I found the following description of the scull and bones emblem:

That 110 nose art is quite similar to that on a Belgian AF Farman flown by Fernand Jacquet and Louis Robin. Belgian's first ace.

The artwork on this;

looks like a rather modern piece of "street art" (a.k.a. "graffiti").

brings to mind Tim Burton's Jack Skellington;
