ross blackford Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 :D, As we're now only 8 years out from the RAAF's Centennial I'd go for a special sheme for the aircraft that will then be in service, obviously not all aircraft in service but say, two or three of them. The basis for this scheme would be a red, white and blue colouring similar to the 60th Anniversary scheme on the 3 special display Mirages in 1981. Perhaps one or two aircraft from each type could also be painted up in our national sports colours of green and gold as sport is still greatly encouraged in the ADF. This would show the spirit of the RAAF in its Centennial year. Unfortunately I don't have Richard's graphic skills so I can't really show you what I mean. , Ross.

Sounds interesting Ross, but unfortunately colourful/flamboyant markings aren't my thing. But somebody on here may be able to help. Certainly a lot of talent present here! Cheers Richard.

Youngtiger1 Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 How 'bout some civilian Whiff subjects?? Now, that is just way to funny. I lived in the State of Georgia back in the 90s and there was a grocery store chain name Piggly Wiggly and first time I saw it...I busted out laughing in the parking lot. Of course, most of my friends at the time thought I was crazy Californian. If someone produce these marking then I will build it...hands down. I'll clear my table for this.

phantom Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 I love the way that Phantom turned out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RiderFan Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 That RCAF phantom turned out great! I've never been much to put that much effort into a WiFF but that's really well done. I'm not aware that the RCAF has a habit of shooting down Klingon Bird's of Prey, but interesting kill markings nonetheless :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FAR148 Posted April 17, 2013 Share Posted April 17, 2013 Thanks, all I build now are What-if's. Building real things just is not fun anymore. Here's how Royal Canadian Air Force F-4 FGR.4 no#148222 got it's Klingon Bird-of-Prey kill. On the planet Vulcan, the former officers of the USS Enterprise are living in exile (after the events of Star Trek III: The Search for Spock). Accompanied by Spock, still recovering from his resurrection, the crew takes thier stolen Klingon Bird-of-Prey and head to Earth to face trial for their theft and destruction of the Enterprise. Hearing Starfleet's warning, Spock determines that the probe's signal matches the song of extinct humpback whales, and that the object will continue to wreak havoc until its call is answered. The crew uses their ship to travel back in time via a slingshot maneuver around the Sun, planning to return with a whale to answer the alien signal. (from Wikipedia). Arriving in 1986, the crew finds the maneuver drained most of the Bird-of-Prey's power. So much so they had no shields and can not ever use the ship's cloaking device. Soon after entering Earth's atmosphere, the Bird-of-Prey was quickly picked up by Canadian Air Defence radars. Two F-4 FGR.4's was scrambed out of Cold Lake to intercept the unknown craft. After failed attempts at communication, Canadian Air Defence order the craft to be destroyed. Aircraft 148222 fired three AIM-7 Sparrows and scored three hits to the Bird-of-Preys impulse engine. The engine exploded, ripping off the port wing causing the Bird-of-Prey to tumble out of control and crash 148 miles southeast of Cold Lake. The Bird-of-Prey completely destroyed. The crew manage to beam off the doom ship before the crash. Happy Modeling Steven L Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mark M. Posted April 18, 2013 Share Posted April 18, 2013 I haven't read this entire thread, but I think it might be cool to see F/A-18s (legacy hornets, specifically) carrying some of the F-16 aggressor schemes, like: and the closest one in this pic: And as an outside WHIF scheme, Israeli colors for a legacy hornet: Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 (edited) I always liked how the Israelis incorporated their squadron insignia into the camouflage scheme, so I tried to do that with two German Tornadoes. The squadron insignia haven't been altered all that much. I suppose you could alter them (simpler designs, better aligned to the aircraft's lines) for better effect, but I wanted to keep it simple. Tornado ECR of JaboG 32 in Norm '83 camouflage: Tornado IDS of MFG 2 in an experimental scheme that wasn't adopted (too bad, as the colours are gorgeous): -------------- Also, the What If 2.0 GB is now in full-swing!
