It's to scare off the AWACS, mind you it'll probably still end up in some Fishbed!

BB Colour scheme

Postby Pumba » Thu Jun 21, 2007 9:10 pm

Go with 2 Morph.

Underneath of fuselage and wings in red. Looks great and is visible from below and above.

How about checkered wing tips to match the rudder?

Can't say any of them tickle my fancy..........

How about an all red plane? If not then I would have to go for number [b]4[/b].

I have always felt that as soon as you add stripes or any shapes and things then the aerie colour scheme dates relatively quickly.

There was / is a silver Jabiru at Morning Star that I thought looked really good.

My Aquilla is all black (with a bit of red in the tail feathers - hey I bought it second hand!) to go with my Darth Vader key ring. And flight suit. And helmets. And gloves. Etc , etc.

Yes - there is only one real colour for an aircraft hey Demon?

Hey Morphman, got to be No. 3. The checked rudder does it all

Congrats on nearing the flying phase.

Rusty.
Rusty, but getting there.

Definately, without any doubt no. 3! I personally will go for a colour other than red. Like the paint scheme though.

Nr 1 or 2 most practical. White at bottom always gets dirty or brown from exhaust gas and dirt(beeskak :lol: :roll: ). But fuel spillage on white top also a prob. Plak 'n swart sticker by jou tank caps. :lol:
