"All I need you folks to do is help me decide how it should be painted, "

How about with a roller like all yer stuff..............................................................what else did you expect from me.(Its Christmas)

At Kiwi prices for kit accessories I suggest one colour household emulsion of what ever shade is on discount at the time of purchase

Alan your addressing that comment to an expat Scouser. Surley the word purchase is out side the Scouse vocabulary.

Aussie.  Now Aus tends to adopt the delivery scheme, at least to begin with.  The F-2 was always in blue, but that doesn't really suit the Wild Weasel role.  How about the F-1 scheme?  Suits the role better, close to the SEA scheme you love but different enough.

I found a Hyperscale article with some mixes:

What was I thinking......................................sack cloth and ashes and the ubiquitous peas in shoes  But to be fair even a 5ltr tin of Dulux is hard to hide in those shorts.......................................maybe not........................Ill add more peas.

I've had an epiphany of sorts (no not shorts.... Dork ), but I need to speak to FAR148 about the colours he used on his RF-104 !!

More (very) soon.

My ecclesiastical calendar  shows Epiphany** as 6th January in the UK. Does it arrive earlier  in the Antipodes?

The imagination boggles at the potential  for  "Wild Wombat"   nose art.

** Epiphany-----it's all to do with Magi-------consult any passing Vicar  for more data.

Not after the incident with the Starfighter and the vicars Jack Russell.

Chances are it wasnt a true epiphany,more like his mobile on throb..........were back to his shorts again arent we?


An epiphany (from the ancient Greek ἐπιφάνεια, epiphaneia, "manifestation, striking appearance") is an experience of sudden and striking realization

[Ian the Kiwi Herder]

Not after the incident with the Starfighter and the vicars Jack Russell.

And that would have worked if you'd used more axle grease and sellotape like I suggested

Dare one ask about the current state of health of  the Jack Russell..........and of the vicar.............. does the latter still need to use a surgical appliance?...............and why use sellotape when cling film would have produced a  more  "distressed "  finish?

The bishop still wants to know why there is a military aircraft embedded in the Rectory  front lawn.

[Old Wombat]

I think it fair to say that my opinion as to the role title should be moderately obvious and the RAAF has experimented with a few of its own schemes (as did the RAN, once, just prior to the de-commissioning of its fixed-wing squadrons).




You could try the above.

Hey Guy
Very helpful profiles, thanks. I'm thinking about a version of the tan/green/black scheme as Steven applied to his RF-104, but it just isn't inspiring me, but that green/green/black really does it, reminds me a little of European 1, but I wouldn't be thinking of a wraparound scheme.... I'm thinking of....

If you are thinking of an AAA suppression mission then I would suggest grey over lt grey. The typical F-16 scheme has been done a million times but there are other options in F-16 schemes for other air forces. UAE, Oman and Pakistan come to mind.

[silverwindblade]

So if Swedish Splinter is out for being too time-consuming and amazingly tedious to paint, how about a digital cam pattern? 

What?! That's much easier surely xD


In all seriousness, I always think F-16's look amazing in Arctic Aggressor patterns

[Captain Canada]

Neat stuff. Not a big F-16 fan, but I do agree with Scooterman that they look good in the old Euro1 scheme.

Love the Caribout colours too.
