Hmm, in that case shouldn't the Chippie be all black, like current trainers?

Ah no, then they wouldn't have to change them as they WERE all black anyway!

Spectators at 2026 airshows will see the following exclusive commemorative schemes:
• Dakota: Repainted in the tactical grey of the Airbus A400M Atlas.
• Spitfire: Sporting the low-visibility grey of the Typhoon FGR4.
• Hurricane: Reimagined in the radar-absorbent aesthetic of the F-35B Lightning.
• Chipmunk: Finished in the striking modern training colors of the Grob Prefect T1.

I do like the Dakota pattern. That would be easy to do RW. Someone should do that for a show just to watch people's faces.

They're flipping brilliant! The blackbird looks fantastic in that colour scheme.

They're flipping brilliant!

They certainly are. 

Love the 'Richard Petty' F-18 with the contra-props.

In the lower left corner of the SR-71 pic is a scale-o-rama of an F-16 in Pan Am colors. Awesome!
I wish I could have been there for that show!

The Junior Johnson F-4 with the how many cylinder* (MOAR!!) engine is a hoot.
🤣

*looks like16 exhausts per side, so an X layout of 32 cylinders?

My favourite is the 'Toom, but they're all good.   

[kerick]

Especially with the tiny cockpit!

I saw this the other day, which I thought was quite cool

That Weymouth works REALLY well. 

Could well be worth doing in plastic.
