Australian TSR2

[Lazlo Woodbine]

Next one is an Australian BAC Eagle (TSR 2)  of ARDU,  the scheme was adapted from the Mirage and A8-662 serial code used thanks to spellbinder99s article

Funky paint job. I've never seen that scheme before but it looks good!

[Tophe]

It is funny to see kangaroos jumping on areas where is usually written "No step!".
Great model

What a gorgeous looking bird. I love that colour scheme

[Captain Canada]

Looking good, Gary ! Cool paint, for sure. Especially like the black.

Would that ever be an eye-catcher sailing past you on a clear sunny day............

:dum:

My fault for taking the photos in lower light, it should be green and yellow.

Hopefully these are a bit better

and this

[Spellbinder99]

Well, I'll be dammed!

That is pretty much as I saw her in my minds eye as she slammed into the lakebed at Lake Heart so you have gone pretty close to nailing the look.

If I can suggest a few minor things?

To complete her you need the green and gold ARDU shield and fin flash for the fin and I really think the serial number would lookbetter down on the fuselage in front of the tailplane. Minor things, but that is how A3-2 was arranged.

I looked into getting some decals of these schemes made, but apparently the RAAF is now really hard to deal with when it comes to the use of the Roo roundel. The Australian decal maker I enquired with would not touch the project with a 20 foot pole, especially for what-if schemes.......

Cheers

that looks great, had been thinking of doing something similar, maybe I might do the white/orange scheme instead, or maybe a yellow/green Tornado or Eurofighter?
