jimz66 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) Seeing Eddies's F-15 Blue Angles Aircraft, it got me thinking what would I like to do for a what if paint scheme. I just thought I would post it and see if you guys had any thoughts of what you would do. I do not have the net at home I can only use it at the library so I am going to think on this and post eary next week. Maybe we can make this a GB for the year of 2008. Start date of January 1st and ending on December 31st Edited September 7, 2007 by jimz66 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Vesper Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 One I'd like to do is a NSAWC F-14D in the new Iranian camo. Ves Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mizar Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think that I would stick in for a what-if group build.Most games have so many cool aircraft schemes and good fictional aicrafts Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Damian Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 As a member of the what-if board I'd love to jump in with a SAAF machine. Perhaps an F-16C? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Charlie Cheetah Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 (edited) I've been wanting to do a Fiat G-91 in a fictitious air racer scheme, based on the early '80's Ferrari F-1 cars. I actually have a set of decals already from the Protar 1/24 Ferrari 126-C2. I'd also like to do a few What-if Canadian fast jets. Funny, we were talking about that at the last ARC Muddy River Modelers Chapter meeting. Edited September 7, 2007 by Charlie Cheetah Quote Link to post Share on other sites

niart17 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I always thought it'd be cool for the Marines to have a Harrier demonstration team like the Blue Angels. Imagine 6 planes doing V-stol manuevers. Any ideas as to the paint scheme of such a team? Bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Charlie Cheetah Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 US Navy Viper in VF-111 scheme Now that would be sweet! Wish I had tought of it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ski6502 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 How 'bout a big ejection seat triangle on the wing? Any part of the a/c not covered by the triangle could be yellow and black striped... I always thought it'd be cool for the Marines to have a Harrier demonstration team like the Blue Angels.

strikeeagle801 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I am seriously debating on doing an F-15E in Aggressor markings. I think Scott's sheet would do nicely for this. Aaron Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 What about F-4's in VF-24 & VF-211 markings? Also keeping in the naval themes, VF-31 F-4s with a big Felix on the tail, just like VF-31 last CAG & CO's markings, plus a F-8 in in the last two schemes. Ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Imagine 6 planes doing V-stol manuevers. Any ideas as to the paint scheme of such a team?Bill I actually drew out a scheme. It was based on the Marine dress uniform. The radome was black, the front fuselage was white, the middle fuselage was royal blue, and the rear was insignia blue. The numbers on the tail were red, and each color was separated by a red cheat line. I've got a Harrier all built that's not in the best of condition, so I might just take a stab at repainting it.

Harv Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I've thought the N/AW A-10 (2-seater) would make a very plausible Navy carrier attack aircraft... Pick an old A-6 or A-7 squadron...The heavy-duty gear already looks the part; add a 'real' tailhook, and folding wings. Finish it off with Gloss Gull Grey over White, and hi-viz markings, and I think that could almost work. The new Hobby Boss kit might make that Wif doable... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ed_s Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 Eurofighter Typhoon in German splinter camoC-130 in Thunderbirds markings Did one. It's 72nd scale and if I remember right, it was the Ertl kit. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kale Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 (edited) well im personally doing a what if right now its a F-14B Jolly Rogers bird...how ever im still debating whether or not to do a WWII Pacific Color Scheme or a WWII Atlantic Scheme...either way the markings will be a mix of old school and new school....also i was thinking of either a Typhoon or NH-90 in some sort of US NAVY Scheme. Edit: i would also be down for a What if GB Edited September 8, 2007 by Kale Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Youngtiger1 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 I'm thinking about doing a F/A-18D in IDF/AF colors. In 1994, the Scorpion Sq. tested 2 F/A-18D Hornets for the next IAF fighter, but after testing IDF/AF chose to go with F-16I cause it was cheaper. So, I think a F/A-18D with 2 scorpions on it's tails will be eye catching model. Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
