One model per (non-working) day

[cafe]

I'm seeing 3 colours on the picture I linked to (1 blue and 2 greys). I always thought they were delivered in the canadian ghost scheme used on some of their Agressor F-5.

Cafe, I think you will find that the colors are off in your link due to the fact those are old pictures taken with a film camera. In any given light situation, particularly sun, it could show the colors in a different tint.

Here are a couple of other pics to help.

The colors might be off but I'm still seeing in the 2 pictures you linked 3 different colors that are consistent with the canadian ghost scheme.



The profiles of Botswana CF-5A/D in my F-5 profile book (Bruno may have the same book) only show 2 colors though but they go against every photograph I've seen.

Meanwhile, I've gone back to the Skyhawk. Here are 2 A-4M of VMA-214 Blacksheep.

Before this starts to become an international incident , some recolors including the 3-tone Botswana livery

New skyhawks! I haven't built anything in a few days now (been recoloring bruno's A-3) so it's good to have a familiar subject

I agree, there are still 3 colors for sure. Just a matter of exactly which.
Don't think there will be an international incident

Thanks for your diplomatic solution

Two more recolors of the F-5A.

There was no need to call the UN! And I agree colors can look different depending on the technology used and weather/lighting contitions. US navy planes in the TPS scheme and the Mirage 2000 in Dassault's default air superiority scheme are among the worst offenders.

That's a fine series of F-5s, Bruno.

I guess I could also release these other 2 as in the end I didn't do the changes I wanted to do.

1 x A-4M of VMA-311 Tomcats (TPS scheme). I reused Bruno's tail art for this one (it was my testbed for the TPS scheme).
1 x A-4AR of the Argentine Air Force

another 3 recolors (they are not all just done by reusing other schemes, you know) of the F-5A. (Only missing Ethiopia, Libya, the Netherlands, the Philippines, Thailand and Venezuela I think)
I should start the other variants now.

Four versions of the RF-5A (or licence builds thereof)
