Stevepd Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Very impressive and some technical painting to achieve that look. DonH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to confess, the painting is helped by excellent masks and decals from Syhart. Couldn't have done it without them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony in NZ Posted August 16, 2021 Share Posted August 16, 2021 Stunning mate!!! Nice to see you cross the finish line with this one. Did XV404 ever fly in this scheme? For some reason I dont think she ever did unfortunately. Very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rolled out for a special Tiger Meet and then scrapped. Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pascal Posted August 17, 2021 Share Posted August 17, 2021 Looks great ! What a shame that they didn't put VX404 in a museum with that scheme. DonH 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Tom Thanks Tom, I was originally going to do the box scheme, complete with shark mouth. Then moved to a standard 74 sqn livery. But when I saw this scheme, it was a no brainer. As a bonus, the painting is actually quite simple. Three colours, easily masked, and no “metal” areas to worry about! Uncarina 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that would have been splendiferous, but your FG.1 will be phantastic, accurate and look perfect with metal hot parts. Perhaps you should consider doing a second one (FGR.2) in the tiger scheme? After all, you're doing the trailblazing bit with the FG.1, doing a second conversion will be easy Anthony in NZ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
