Fictional Low-vis scheme.

I'm working on the "real" color version of this too. If anyone is interested in the fictional scheme, I can upload it.

I normally hate paints like this .... but I rather like that!

Perfect timing! I 'm gonna do a low-vis "what-if". As if the Skyraider lasted in Navy service into the '80's

To be honest mates I was going to request a French Navy scheme in the style of the Brequet Alize for a fictional one, you know that two tone grey, I had another in mind but because I'm tired I have forgotten it lol! Its been a long day for me!:salute:

P.S. I love that second one DJscoo! I wanted a French one because we don't have a good 60's or 70's era carrier for her so I'm not flying it from one yet! but we do have a great FNS Clemenceau! No way am I flying from Her in US or Brit colours from that one though!

I really like Vietnam-era naval aircraft, but I'm not too keen on the bright paint of the time. I was originally gonna try the new reversed Marine low-vis that I've seen on some harriers, but I was having a tough time getting it to look right. That'll probably be next.

This was one I was playing with for my own simple amusement

The Skyraider does wear the lo-viz scheme well...nice work!
