Title: CAF Raptor feelin' blue
Post by: MartG on October 31, 2008, 11:44:42 AM
Is blue the new gray ? Kinda inspired by the 'air superiority blue' scheme the prototype F-15 first flew in.

Like that a lot. What colour did you use for the lighter blue ?

I don't often get excited by raptors, but you've done a beautiful job on this one.  The first thought I had was, "F/A-22N???

Great looking bird! :wub:

Yes, that's a beauty alright ! Love the underwing weapons. I built a CF-122 a few years back, with similar armament, but it was a true boring old grey !

Well the sky is light blue, so that to me makes the most sense for camo on an airsuperiority fighter. But that's just me. I love the model, MartG. Great job.

Niiiiiiiiice.  Always love to see the Maple Leaf roundels.  Great choice of hues, too.   :thumbsup:
