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 .

That odd blue color goes a long way towards disrupting the outline of the aircraft. Well done!

The scheme is the early Russian SU-34 scheme.  The "odd blue colour" is Light Blue Green and is the colour the underside is painted.  The other two colours are Medium Blue Green, and Dark Blue Green.



Hmmm, next time I try this scheme I need to get more wiggley.

Thanks folks.

Another coat of the darkest Blue/Green today followed by work on the fiddley bits.  I painted ailerons, front air brake, and hard points and primes the flaps as they have sink marks in them and need some putty.
I also realised while doing all this that as built OOB she has no guns.  Can't have that so I raided one of the Hasegawa Sea Harriers in the stash for its cannons.  Surprisingly they appear to be a perfect fit.  Which is lucky as i've already paint the soft blue underbelly.  It's a complex shape to get to fit right so maybe it shows both Airfix and Hasegawa kits have good scale fidelity?

The scheme even has an unofficial name: "Greenbottle Fly"!

Add the stickers and a build comes to life.

Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.
