Dreamstar

Perhaps if applied to other parts, in a little zone other blue like the nose, it will be more convincing .

Tone it down a bit with some light weathering. Experimental birds can look lightly battered as they're constantly worked on, things tweaked, removed & replaced on a regular basis. IIRC correctly (it's nearly two decades since I read it), the book mentions this about the Cheetah, it's starting to look a bit pitiful as it's been worked on constantly. Maybe the Dreamstar is starting to head in this direction?

Yep, it's pretty bad. Can't stand the look of it myself, so....... I'll actually go back to the book (Thank you Mossie

) and read up on how it looked. That way I can say I've done some research.

Sca-ry! I googled XF-34 Dreamstar and several photos of my models popped up....

New happiness progressing w/ the Dreamstar?

Pablo1965 · July 10, 2011, 03:02:51 PM

The same question. Next step?

I had come up with a ferris scheme I like (the shades of blue are out of the plan), but had a problem with the paint application, so I had to sand it down again. Thank you guys for the reminder. It helps me put my mind back on task. I will make some kind of progress this week.

Eddie M. · July 29, 2011, 08:45:19 PM

I finally found a paint scheme I can live with and give me hope for forward progress.

2 sey for this forum too sexy by far....

Wow! Fearsome plane.

John Howling Mouse · August 03, 2011, 07:55:56 PM

That'll do nicely, Mr. Miller. You're like Panasonic: "just slightly ahead of your time." Can't wait for more on this one.

Eddie M. · August 07, 2011, 10:50:33 AM

Thank you very much Gentlemen! When I took the tape of the canopy, it almost came to life. I'm hoping to ride that inspiration to more progress so.;

this scheme is plausible and this plane is more aesthetically beautiful than the F-22 that lacks personality.

Waiting for some cooler weather. The heat in Texas has sapped the creativity right out of me. Plus, I spray paint outside and the paint is drying before it makes it to the model. That's hot! I guess I could work on the landing gear...
