Hey Guys,i've been thinking about something for a Long Time, I've had this Idea in my head to Build a C-130 & Paint it in the Colors of the Green Bay Packers Football Team, I'm Talking American Football here. Would it be Workable to use Gloss or Flat Enamel for the team Colors?  Hope this Doesn't sound Too Crazy. What Say You? btw,i have a C-130 model but,i may try to Purchase a Larger Model for my Project. Thanks for looking. Dan

I'd go gloss for the project Dan.  Those military types that have a public relations facet (Blue Angels, Thunderbirds, etc) are gloss schemes and most, if not all, civilian aircraft sport glossy finishes, so gloss sounds like the way to go.

The idea is not that crazy.  The military has done similar things before.  As I understand it, there is a Naval Squadron that regularly uses the Seattle SeaHawks logo.  You can also order from Two Bobs a set that conmemorates an F-16 from the Indiana ANG that sported the Indianapolis Colts logo.  Then of course is the famous image of the USS CHICAGO during the 1990s that sported the Chicago Bulls logo for a while.

Then there's the mad Dutchies, painting up a Leopard 2 in their Elftal scheme.

Yup! :thumbsup: VMAQ-4 "Seahawks", flying EA-6B Prowlers.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
