Hi there :)

I´ve been busy lately :P here is my recent piece of work :) i would be glad, if you´ll help me with camo ideas :) i wanted to make "slovak" knights (inspired by russian knights camo), but i have too much white-blue-red concepts :)

here are some photos of the thing in the "cobra manuever" /// yes i know about the airbrake, i just like it seen deployed :D ///









any ideas welcomed :)

"Everybody" already has a white-blue-red display scheme...

... I've seen photos of a Slovak MiG-29 in a digital camo scheme. If you want white-blue-red, make it white-blue-red digital "camo".

Maybe a digital camo can be made out of decals, if you have a way to print decals. I just saw this site that has some pictures that could get you started

i know about slovak manufacturer Kopro, but all decals are in grey digi.... i heard about a guy, who make digi camo by masking... sounds like a lot of work...

here is VERY VERY RAW pic of RED-BLUE-WHITE digi camo i just made...

looks very nice :) I´m still a little bit afraid, i dont want to ruin whole model due to amateur paintjob... i´m student and i finance my hobby by night work and i cant take the risk messing it up...  but you got me going on this :D

how do you masking the figi pattern? do you cut pattern by hand?

for the digi i print a pattern on paper, then i glue it onto the masking tape layer i put on my cutting mat, and than i take a knife, and voila !

Don't worry I've over 50 years in the hobby and still have "fun" with masking and seeping  :banghead:
