A quick first draft ....excuse the basic skills! 

I do like that, though

Good Morning Gents 

Thanks for all the suggestions, and I agree with the logic of the night undersides with either grey, white or grey/green. I suppose my weak argument is that because that what WAS used on the heavy bombers (and yes the canberras and mosquitos) that is precisely why I want to go with a different scheme. Anyway the fuselage is not closed up yet or the wings attached to it, so still some thinking time to go! 

Anyway, second draft drawing, colours the right way up, and a slightly more realistic roundel!

I quite like  the second one,  very striking  colour scheme.  The one above  is a very similar version of what I  have painted my Super freighter,  which  is in Honduras navy  service.

I like that. In general, I feel big birds should have disruptive schemes - just because they seldom do. Look at the B-52, for instance. It was way cooler in the old SAC camo than is is now, being grey and dull.

But that’s just me, and if it is of any comfort, I rarely even myself take my own advice..
