Don't worry, be happy!
We'd always be true to our aviatic 1/100 & 1/72 scales!

Here are the corresponding pictures.

beautiful as always but I think the black, the blue and the colors in general for the Greek tiger SLUF are a little more bright.

P.S. Amazing mod to develop the Photo Crusader.

Thanks, Gene.

Thanks, Wyvern. I'll be making some more recolors and the RF-8G version later.

I'm happy. I was just joking. And thanks.

Might be correct, Vassilis. I used RGB codes from a decal instruction sheet that was slightly misleading. Printing with a laser printer will probably fix that problem easily.

Did one more version today: F8U-1T or TF-8A Twosader.
Don't think I'll be doing the Supercritical wing version, though.

Oh, did someone say "Vought" ?

Dear Bruno:

I am not worried about the "new black" It is well and growing.
Actually, 1/100 is "the scale", at least for decimal SI guys like me, who have troubles multiplying by 12.

But I am more concerned with the 1/300 scale that sometimes look as if is in life support (for planes), and the 1/400 is going to be around as long as there are 1/400 aircraft carriers (same for 1/300).

Happy designing, recoloring, and modeling.

Pablo.

ps: and I do enjoy looking at your 1/100 planes, and sometimes I even venture into reducing them to 1/400 (although not very often).
