SIX colours!? :o

I usually think four is going to extremes! :blink:

The Luftwaffe's Norm '81 scheme for the F-4Fs used no less than six shades of grey - and it was even standardized in two patterns.

Similar to my initial thoughts and then I thought "he can't be referring to the main camouflage colours", but then I thought "but maybe ?".

I've taken out shares in the producers of masking tape  ;D

I must correct myself, its only five colors, had to modify it a bit. As its a fictional camo, its ok this way.

And it is no Norm 81 :)

Corrently I am working on adding color number 4. And the exiting part will be when the masking will removed and you can see if there is some kind of deasater or not :)

I tend to think of that moment as "terrifying" rather than "exciting". :-\

Must admit that my feelings when it comes to peeling the tape away tend towards that as well, but there's a certain  "pump fist in the air" moment if it's worked out well  ;D

I once tried using candle wax  to mask a wing ...

Worked a treat until I tried to paint the areas that had the wax on them ... none of my paints would stick.

Well, after removing the masking, no big problem occured. A few small patches to fix, but this is ok.





Two more colors are missing, so I now have to re-mask it.

And some time ago I posted the pics of the 3D printer, the dragon-something as it was called. Well, actually it is this:



However, it only looks good form this side, the other is quite ugly. So I have to reprint this in several parts, hope this will work better.
