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 .

HHhm, yeah.......

The shape looks great, the camo less so to my mind.

Sorry, but you did ask...............
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! :)

If you're going "Malta Camouflage", I'd be more inclinde to go with this variant.

I quite like that camouflage. I can see it flying low over scrubland or semi-desert areas.
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Did you use the Jaguar landing gear? It sure looks like it. I really like the wing leading edge extensions. The paint looks very different and intriguing.

Yes Sir that I did  ;D
I'm thinking now about the pics Guy chucked up here and I've an idea.
The consensus is from the rest of the chaps is this camo is liked ..thanks guys  ;D  ;D
But what if I added those lines from those tanks to the tan areas of this??
Or the entire thing??

Ken the landing gear is or was Mig 23 ..I modified it to look more like the Jags 😉

If I remember right they were painted like that to look like the walls that lined the country roads and in fields.

Maybe you've already mentioned it before in the thread but, what's that on the side of the nose?? :unsure:

Cheers Captaino 🍻 😁..im hoping it ends up looking even better .

Rui ..mate I haven't mentioned them before because I'm not exactly sure what they are yet ..but I'll bet it's something to do with either nap of the earth or recon or both ..a true multi roll aircraft.
Not bloody sure but something needed to go there as this isn't the nose for the plane..it's from a 32nd Skyhawk drop tank and it just wouldn't sit right ..so now it does 😊😉

I thought that had to be Jaguar or MiG 23 gear.
I think the camo looks great especially for a semi desert area as mentioned by NARSES2. I wouldn't bother with any more lines but that's just me.

I'm gonna add more lines Ken ..but only to the tan sections . I'm gonna leave the green and sand as is..since the tan looks alot like the Matilda and it might look OK...wish I had a clue how to be able to do this on a computer before paint even touches it .

I like your camo DUKWy.  It'll look better with a coat of clear over it because as it is in the pics the tan is more glossy than the others.  Giving them all the same level of shine will improve things.
And I might then add a filter based on the lightest shade (grey?) over the top to tie all the colours together.

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