Finished today, Airfix 1/72 Gnat 'Orange Arrow'

WOW! I believe the term 'resplendent' was invented for how it looks wearing that!

With that colour, perhaps you should have made it a Dutch Air Force example? 

[Captain Canada]

That's a sweet little bird to be sure ! Looks like a Marlboro race bike from the early eighties !

I was struck more by the thought of the Royal South African Airforce,
Just need to change the titles up front and give the roundels Orange centers instead of red.

You can tell its not Xtracolour as it wouldn't be dry for decalling till 2014 !!!

Looks rather tasty, would make a great basis for a Tiger Squadron special

That's a sort of 'Halfway House' between the YellowJacks and the Red Arrows. 

Pretty darned impressive. 

[Hman]

That colour works, it shouldn't but it looks very cool

[sandiego89]

Very nice!  Like it.

[NARSES2]

Come out well

[Chris Payne]

Cheers guys .

Still thinned down red to save money on the Yellowjacks 

Are you going to give it a gloss or satin varnish for a nice over all finish and bed the decals in? Plus with the tail having the orange instead of red front bar it looks SAAF but that's just me being picky.

Now there's a scheme, SAAF Gnats hmmm.

that will sit very well with my old Pink Arrow hawk
