ssculptor Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 I have always liked that splinter camouflage I have had the W2 German uniforms in that scheme. I used to collect camouflage uniforms. I have a buddy who used to be a militaria dealer and I got some nice WW2 German camo outfits from him in the '60's. The SS Monet Water Lilly patterns were really interesting and imaginative. When he was assigned to 'Nam during the unpleasantness in the late '60s he ran his business from there. At one point I had the bush hats in 18 different patterns and colors, plus a number of full uniforms. Once I sent him a few camo uniforms made in the USA. One was a set in red shapes over a yellow base. Apparently animals are color blind and hunters aren't so hopefully the drunk trigger happy hunters will recognize the yellow as being worn by a human and not an animal. Well hopefully, anyway. I wrote him that since he was in the war zone he should consider it to be a Kamikaze Camouflage suit. For some reason he did not think that was too funny. A number of years after he returned he sold the entire collection for me. Collections come and go. At least I photoed all the uniforms before he sold them. Come to think of it would be fun to paint an aircraft in the splinter pattern but use bright colors, yellows, reds, blues. greens, purples, etc. Enjoy, Stephen Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted March 25, 2016 Author Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, I'm back, not done but very close to... ''Warning'' The following picture might be disturbing for some viewers, parental discretion for the rivet counter is advise.... or some it might look weird to see Swedish camo on an Eagle but hey, keep in mind that this funny project started in the 'What-If' GB... Decal on top are almost done, finally found a good Super Scale stencil sheet that went on very smootly, was about time, it took me 4 sheet to get it right.... Very hard to take good picture with that shiny finish.... And what will be my load, AGM-142 Popeye and pod from my Sufa kit, wing tank from Tamiya left over, some AARAM under it and most probably some AIM-9X on pylon.... Hey, you want them to buy it (Sweden ), you put the best on it.... Cutting Edge exhauste with Tamiya burner can...... And dry fit...... Looking forward to that long week-end to finish all decals and clear top coat for Flory's wash. Thanks for watching and stay close for another project that I'm almost done with, my Speed Hunter F-4D Montgomery Alabama ANG.... Dan.

Daniel Leduc Posted April 10, 2016 Author Share Posted April 10, 2016 No biggy MARU, like you said '' just a little glitch '', really appreciate all your comment guys, that's what really helps us going true what ever we encounter along the way..... Yeah espaciallu when we feel like opening another kit... So everything is fine and fixed, and now is the time and I'm sure, that most of us got that little uncertainty moment...... THE WASH. And once done, those first words out of our mouth ''what have i done....'' Oh boy, 1st attempt and way too light...... no trouble, the best part of that wash, you don't like it, you wash it down. Ah, more like it . I'm getting close, more soon and thanks for watching Dan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Leduc Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 (edited) Hey guys, me again, with a little update... Decals and wash done, top coat also and........ found out that my Eagle with those CE exhaust became tail heavy..... and had to do a little surgery to add weight in the nose..... and hey, while I was there, why not put some extra..... So I took my model aside to continue on what's left to do, but during the operation, my canopy drop on the floor....bang. my heart almost stopped, knowing how hard it is to get replacement.... ()&?#@!@#$%*()**?)&) then picked up my canopy on the floor to find out that I should go get myself a Megabuck ticket.... only the back pin broked..... Oh boy. took a brake and start on my load. And some dry fit testing one two.... I'm almost done, now what's left to do is my seat's, repair the canopy and adjust those intake covers from PWMP, made to fit Tamiya kit.... A very unusual pattern for that kind of bird. Thanks for watching, more soon, Dan. Edited May 12, 2016 by Daniel Leduc Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out2gtcha Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 Looks really great Dan. One of the more unusual schemes Ive seen for an Eagle regardless of it being a What if. Looking forward to the finish line! Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Buddee Posted May 12, 2016 Share Posted May 12, 2016 That is, without a doubt, one of the coolest camouflage schemes I've ever seen applied to an F-15! Well done Dan! Cheers, Wolf Daniel Leduc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
