Repaint for Piglet's A-12A Avenger II

The metal work looks great and very authentic. I'll bet you could knock out a simple HAVE GLASS scheme for the Avenger using similiar metallic shades. FYI H/G was a radar absorbent paint applied to some F-16s. It have them a metallic shine as you've done there on the T-Bird scheme.

The 'Have Glass' finish just looks like a standard 'metal' with a higher gloss 'flare' ...so darkening the trans layer 'should' be enough....;)
 
Baa....Baa....
214 SQN. {the series is on Telly again....aged badly....Farrah Fawcett hair and all....}
And make up your mind....it's a 3 blade or a 4 .... it doesn't magically change in the air.....[continuity wasn't a strong point]...;)

I still can't get over the ...er.... tailored jumpsuits the nurses wore ..... No wonder my old man was just 'down the road' in New Guinea....;)

Nice one Paul. Those retro schemes really pop.

Thanks, Jeff ..... I'm always looking for inspiration ..... suitable paint schemes that may or may not be relevant/appropriate....eg I expect the Blacksheep makes more sense than the Chiefs.... but both are fun....;)

I can picture a squadron of these over Iran soon.

Very unlikely [apart from the obvious]....

For Air shows etc, yes....but the 'symbolism' of having one of these maybe filmed being shot down wouldn't 'go down well' with the powers that be....;)
 
This is THE one...that resparked my interest in Tim's Avenger.
Tommieboy's sexy graphic design....nice an asymetrical.
I figured it 'needed' its own SQN...so I made one up. Hopefully the Latin is correct.
Now uploaded here...;)
