Hi Canadians,
I see you look happy with this project ;D but ... this is not free :wacko: ...
you have to look for pics of canadian aircrafts with adequate schemes: snow white (and the 7 dwarfs :wacko: ) or dayglo orange.

Seriously, I am currently considering a standard NATO '70s green/grey with white patches. But I would like to have more alternatives. In the main thread of this forum are a lot  of ideas, but not canadian, I think.

I don't think I've ever seen any Canadian examples of snow camouflage, although the RAF examples would work well as they're very similar camouflage styles & colours.  Another thought is a camouflage for operations over the tundra.  The earth & grass shows throw the ice when it starts to thaw, with the caribou migration paths cutting through in a criss-cross pattern.  So maybe a temporary white covering (a bit like the T-60 you posted) over the grey/green, with a criss-cross pattern put into it?

You can put the aircraft in standard colours if it fits one of the other criteria, either fit it out with some snow/ice equipment (tracked or cushion landing gear maybe?) or put it into a diorama.

F-404 154 inch = 3912 mm long
j79     208 inch = 5283 mm long
I did reflect the difference in 1/72, about 19mm. Do you see the white plugins in wings?

I was inspired by the studies done during YF-17 Cobra development. Currently configuration is as follows:

I'm sure I've seen a pic of a Voodoo in what looked like white with a green temporary paint brushed roughly over it in a pretty fine pattern: looked really grubby, to be honest. I can't find the pic on the web though....

Anyhow, good looking project Ysi..... :thumbsup:

That's looking good Carlos, kind of like the HESA Saeqeh.

Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter?
