Wicked Ace Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I saw this camo scheme on an F-14 model (thanks to the someone on here who posted a link to aircraftresourcecenter.com), and I just had to try it out on a VF-1. Hope y'all enjoy. Quote
Uxi Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 That looks pretty damned good. Normally I don't like the scheme at all. You need to customize the pilot, too, though. Quote
EXO Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 That looks sweet... I think a Low Viz pilot would look even sweeter in it. Nice job Wicked Ace! Quote
Eternal_D Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 looks pretty cool, at first I thought it was just two colors but up on closer inspection, there's 3...pretty sweet. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 naw colors are too bright for low viz. IF it was grey tones, all GREY then yes. Ddue that is awesome. PUKIN DOGS BABY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!! FINALLY someone used that damn squad insignia bout time! Hopefully someone uses VF-1 Wolfpack squadron colors next! them F-14s were F***n beautiful damn it. That color scheme on yours is NICE good qwork~! Reminds me of kieth ferris schemes. If it were a tad bit more blue it would be almost like a navay fighter weapons school F-14 agggressor color scheme menat to replicate a flanker. but hell its close enough and its a might damn fine joba t that. good work bro!

Graham Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Nice, I'll add it to the MW custom toy gallery at the weekend. Graham Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 (edited) Low-vis? Maybe. The 2 grays are perfect--very hard to distinguish. (Many real-life 2 and 3-tone low-vis grey schemes look like 1 single color, the difference is very subtle after only light weathering/fading). As for the blue--doesn't strike me as *too* far off from 35237, which is the "blue" color for a low-vis Tomcat. Since it's got a 5 in the second digit, that means it is a true blue, not a bluish-grey. While most planes and schemes are 2 or 3 shades of grey, the Tomcat does use blue for its standard low-vis scheme. (Often the blue is omitted, thus leaving 2 greys--but if all 3 are applied, the 3rd is blue). Looks pretty close to 35164 though, which AFAIK isn't used in any aircraft low-vis schemes--however that color is used for SHIP low-vis schemes. Edited April 22, 2004 by David Hingtgen Quote
SupremeKaioshin Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 I didn't realize how cool those poseable(?) hands are. All my 1/48's are first series 1As and 1S. I only have $100 to spend on my next 1/48...darn it Does BBTS do layaways? It would be cool if I could give them about $50 a month until I reach the total price of a 1/48 and then they can ship it Quote
Mr March Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Great work. I especially like the camoflague pattern and the custom pilot costume. Very nice! Quote
Jung Posted April 22, 2004 Posted April 22, 2004 Excellent! looks like you decided to leave out the pink colouring from the original f-14. Nice job on the masking Quote
