Another ill conceived, lazily thought out, crudely executed and badly painted piece of half arsed what-if modelling muppetry from zenrat industries.

very impressive pattern indeed ! I feel like re-using it (e.g. in red, yellow-blue)

did you invent it, or did you find inspiration in the Real World?

This is coming along nicely  :thumbsup:
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

What an insane camouflage scheme :thumbsup: :blink: :bow:
It's brilliant, I don't know if it's Hawaiian shirt or 70's curtains mad.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

It's meant for low level operations over small islands.  Green vegetation, sand, white surf, aqua shallow water and darker blue deep water.  Hopefully that'll become clearer when I get the remaining 2 colours on it.
inspiration came on a walk along the cliff tops looking down on the beach.  On a calm clear day the colours of the water in Port Phillip Bay can be very vivid.
I don't know if I would claim to have invented it but I didn't knowingly copy anything.

Now the Skyraider is complete I have turned my attention to the Moskito and the Kingfisher.
The Kingfisher now has wingtip tanks and will be getting a radome.
The Moskito fell victim to the dreaded razor saw following Army of One's brilliant suggestion to flip the engines.
While I was at it I made it a T tail to get the stabilisers up out of the spray.
They are rather big nacelles now there is no undercarriage in them.  I'm thinking turboprops maybe...

The engines look so much cooler that way!  :wacko: Wicked!
Cheers,

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?

Moskito (must think up a better, more Australian name - The March Fly maybe?) now undergoing PSR while modifying the existing engine parts to resemble turbojet installations.
The Kingfisher (new name Kookaburra) is undercoated and ready for paint.

a beautiful line, this is going to be a successfull floatplanization  :thumbsup:

it's getting hard to recognize the original ...





Captain Canada

Holy...have you ever changed the look of the Kingfisher ! I guess it really is a Kookaburra ! Love the flaps and slats.... looks like she'll jump right off the ground and have a good slow flight ability eh ?

That's the idea Capt.  From short strips she'll spend long hours loitering over her patrol area looking for targets.
