Well, it wasn't anymore invisible, than stealth is invisible, but it did greatly reduce the ability to see it at altitude. I've been trying to figure out how I'm going to mimic the effect on my 1/48 F5. To get the "specs" that were in the paint, the way they used the multiple coats.

Of course, If I do figure it out, I'll be able to paint the newer F-22s with their "metallic" camouflage, as the scheme is referred to; Same for newer V-22s. I've been thinking a metallic undercoat with the colors sprayed lightly over it, or coloring some metallic paints. I'll have to experiment.
