Nice - inspired by "Special  Operations" Hueys in Vietnam, I assume?

Not that I remember, I think I was trying for a semi-desert / scrubland camouflage

Nice, but who's markings are they meant to be?  :blink:

Err....mine!  :rolleyes: One of those invented countries for some involved scenario. The markings are the flag of (I think it was) Gadumal. Yellow-Red-Yellow horizontal stripes (reverse of Spain) with the 'Ketam' Star centrally placed. It got quite involved and would probably qualify me for psychiatric help under certain criteria  :o :-\

Did they trail red and yellow smoke?  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Three beauties !

Love the F-5. Always been a favourite a/c. Looks awesome in that scheme ! I like your national markings, especially the wing ones. The intakes are a nice touch as well.

The Bird Dog looks good too ! I guess it would be hard to spot down in the scrub....you'd keep seeing these red and yellow flashes and really scratching your head !

And keeping with the Dog theme....the Bulldog is nice too ! Would look great in the air.

:cheers:
CANADA KICKS arse !!!!

I think these were 'peace-time' markings, 'low-viz' hadn't arrived in Gadumal at that point....who knows what the wartime repaint/overpaint would've looked like  ;)

It's funny to make your own contries, because you don't have to follow any special rule, and you can have any vehicle, aircraft, guns,... you want  ;D

Nice work.

In want of hobby space!  The kitchen table is never stable.  Still managing to get some building done.

Nah! Not on this forum. You are best described as "Creative", so no worries about "trickcyclists" as my late father used to say.

Good on yer.
