Gabe Pincelli Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 (edited) All, Just took these pics of T-45C BUNO 163656. It will be the first Navy jet to recieve a Centennial paint job. I will post more pics as it progresses through the paint process. Beat you to it Rich! Hope you guys are as psyched about this as I am. Rich Dann drew up the scheme and I have been working on-site in Kingsville to make this a reality. Gabe Edited October 7, 2010 by Gabe Pincelli Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Darren Roberts Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 And so it begins. We can only hope that this is the first in a long line of paint schemes on a number of different aircraft. Oh, the thought of a Super Hornet in tri-color. Be still my beating heart! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Hegedus Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 So, when are we gonna get a decent 1/48 T-45 kit to put all these cool schemes on? Hmm? Inquiring minds want to know! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gabe Pincelli Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 A few more pictures taken today. She's been wiped clean, is in process of being masked and should have a primer coat within a day or so. Maybe the photo of the stencil will give a hint of some of the possible schemes.

Fuji Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Ah! Silver fuselage and undersides, yellow top wings, blue tails red stripes on the wings and red nose. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
