Colour scheme for my Mizer

Postby Henni » Fri Nov 09, 2007 2:32 pm

Hi everyone,

I'm urgently looking for a new colour scheme for my Mizer. The best colour scheme I've ever seen was on a South African Bell earth moving equipment Robinson R44 - Yellow, lots of grey & black. I've searched Google, but cannot find any pics of that heli.

Any suggestions where I can look for nice colour schemes that can be used with the new covering design to be done by Jenya?

Thanks Relborg,

Very nice looking aerie.

However, this R44 had lots of grey in the design which made it the first & only beautiful R44 I've ever seen. (If I find a pic, I'll post here for all to see). I want to achieve the same effect with the right usage of colour.

Somehow I remembered that it looked better - now I'm actually disappointed! Might also be the lack of direct sunlight as I saw this heli in person seven years ago or so. It might also have had a re-paint in the meantime?

Please keep paint scheme suggestions/links coming if you do not mind.

Now I think I remember what's different! I think the front, top & tail fin were pure white & that looked amazing!

Gents,

Please excuse my ignorance. There used to be a sticky somewhere where all posted pics of aircraft with outstanding paint schemes - why can't I find it?

Could anyone paste a link here please?
