Could be a Yankee bomber buggerupperer if I put red stars on it...
Ohhhh i didnt think of that ..a Brit  aircraft copied by the russkies from stolen plans ..oh the plot thickens  :lol:
If it aint broke ,,fix it until it is .
Over kill is often very understated .
I know the voices in my head ain't real but they do come up with some great ideas.
Theres few of lifes problems that can't be solved with the proper application of a high explosive projectile .

Still not decided what scheme it will be but it will have white undercoat.

- Can't be bothered to do the proper research and get it right.

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

Wow! Impressive in "flight"... ;)

Sorry to tell you Tophe but I drilled two gun barrel holes in he nose today and scribed bomb bay doors.
I suppose they could be water pistols and doors for dropping lollies...

Ocean or Medium Sea Grey uppers over PR or Azure Blue ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

This is looking surpurb Fred..its smooth as slik mate..with that shape i can see why colour choice is a pain.
Even tho i do love the camo used on your aircraft there..three tone looks very nice ..not sure on your build but once i can find some Aussie decals i might have a build in mind .
Heres a reason for the Aussie 3 tone..low altitude strike figther bomber.

I had a rummage in the transfers folder today and found an Airfix 1/72 TSR2 sheet and a Revell Victor sheet which both have the faded RAF markings that go with an anti-flash white paint job.
They both have the matching stencils etc.

As i've never built anything in an Aunty Flash scheme I think i'll do so.  It'll be the prototype of a proposed Nuclear Close Air Support aircraft and will have P's on the fins.

Is it radioactivity that makes the markings: faded? Poor crew... :unsure: ;)

No, they used pale paint so it absorbed less thermal radiation.
