Wow! Many thanks! The AMX is literally a "Pocket Tornado". Very nice!

Thank you both! Finished two more recolors for the night: one more from the 30-year anniversary and another that I am not sure where its scheme comes from. Regarding the bottom ghibli (# 28, 51-27), there is another much more elaborate scheme that I'd like to do, but it might take a while

Enjoy

Edit: i included pics of all of the tails I've done so far for anyone keeping up

Thank you very much!
And for the recolorist, there is the special painting of the Regia Aeronautica Retro Camouflage.

Ah yes, that is the only scheme that i am weary about (that mottled camo is gonna require so much drawing all over the plane!). I might simplify the camo to a single color since it is so subtle, but if anyone wants to try to give the full scheme justice they can be my guest

Paperengineer Good Job, design and recolor, maybe you would do the two AMX paints I found?

I think you are right at this scale, a single olive drab gereen/brown would do.
Pointillism meets Inkjet!

In my humble opinion, I think that the people in charge of the memorial flying colors did a too smaller paterns of the original and it really blens as an offset printing.

wow that plane looks interesting
Too bad that plane didn't sell well

but investige and venezuela in 2002 was going to buy a fleet of AMX international from embraer but that the purchase did not prosper

postscript:

Which planes do you have in mind to do after AMX international paperengiener?

**paperengineer** · #28 05-23-2021, 01:40 PM

By popular demand, here is the retro WWII-camo (solid olive

) A-11

@ pablito, the first scheme that you sent I do plan to do eventually although it is a little daunting! These ghiblis are really working out my artistic muscles, but I enjoy them

@ juan angel, after the AMX i plan to focus more on the J-22 orao and Tu-128, then i might do some Su-24 and J-8ii recolors before moving onto a new model (MiG-31? JH-7? Tu-22m? maybe something else entirely--i'm not sure yet)

**wireandpaper** · #29 05-23-2021, 02:12 PM

Oh yes, Tu-22M!!!

And thank you for the Regia Aeronautica model, it looks very cool and at this scale the camo colors would had blended as in pointillism from afar.

Paperenginer,Ooo you are right, the Italians can paint their planes with original paints, as for J-22 it is also a lot of nice paints :-)
