ajshot58 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 I like the idea of taking cues from the P51 Mustang.... maybe a darker silver on the engines to set them off..... this thing is too cool already!!! Or, maybe a pearl white, with a bright blue tribal flame motiff.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 An I thought the little private scoot you just finished was "Out Tha Box", Yeesh, This ones even wilder! Do you dream in color? These ideas of yours are just TOO cool. Can't wait ta see the final result!!!! Thanks for the kind words George! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt T. Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 Looking great, Ira! I like the idea of an "industrial/Star Wars" paint scheme - Lots of metal tones, maybe some rivets, etc. How do you feel about removing the wing uprights and, instead, having the end plates extend down and mold into the body? I think that would provide a more aero and cohesive look, IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Red, white, blue ? Good Suggestion, Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feisty102 Posted January 18, 2013 Share Posted January 18, 2013 (edited) Wow, very creative. Best costum I ever seen, and come to think I can't even finish a stock kit. I'll be following, keep it coming. Good luck. -Feisty Edited January 18, 2013 by feisty102 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 Mobile 1? with the red horse lol I'll check & see if I have those decals... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted January 19, 2013 Author Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) How about a scheme taken from a WWII P40 Flying tiger ? Might look cool with the open mouth and teeth that was on the plane. Decals should be easy to find. Just throwing that out there. Could also do a silver paint job and take some cues from a P 51 Mustang and use some cool nose art, panel and rivet detail. Never mind me I just watched an old war movie and have airplanes on my mind. : ) Thanks for the WW2 plane graphics idea, I'll check Google for examples....

Ira Posted January 20, 2013 Author Share Posted January 20, 2013 This is just too cool. I love everything you've done here and not just the imagination but the construction is superbly done and very clean. I agree with the WWII type paint scheme suggestions. Are you going to make this float as part of your display? Thanks Wayne! I like that idea too, yes it will be floating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got some "Real Fire" Flame decals on Ebay, they aren't blue but Flames might be nice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, maybe Flat White with red or blue Rocket Graphics I thought about making fins that run down the sides and they get tall enough at the back to support the wing on the ends. Maybe I'm still in the Primer stage... Edited January 20, 2013 by Ira Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JordanFordF1 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 When I saw the first posting I thought, NO don't cut up a good kit. Now after seeing progress I'm impressed. So impressed I finally signed up for this forum just so I can say I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for the completed model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
