Bobski Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 (edited) Some of you may have seen my little thread about Saudi decals a few weeks ago. Thought you might all want to see the result of my labours: The Barley Grey is correct, but I did some licence with the Medium Sea Grey as the correct shade would have been far too dark. Camo patterns are taken from engineering drawings of the scheme. Decals are as close as I could get them in the time allowed.

ChernayaAkula Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 Man, the paint on the real aircraft has only just about dried and you already have a model of it! Nice work! :D Cool to see they went for a different camo. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jennings Posted November 15, 2008 Share Posted November 15, 2008 The Barley Grey is correct, but I did some licence with the Medium Sea Grey as the correct shade would have been far too dark. (que sinister music here...) HORRORS! You mean... don't say it.... it can't be true, can it? SCALE COLOR EFFECT IS REAL!?!?!?! J Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bobski Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 Bl00dy hell, Bobski. That was quick!!! Nice to see a Typhoon in a different colour scheme. A few people said the same thing at Telford. Of course, it helped that I was able to walkaround the jet about 2 weeks before the photos went public... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hmmm, just received a fax saying: * You should notify me in the future regarding such an event * You need to invite me & arrange for a full sightseeing-tour and photo-pass in such case * You owe me a bottle of wiskey for not doing so in the past ("Highland Park - 18y", will do nicely...) "Check Six....." Spooky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

P.S.: and if somebody comes up with that "need to know basis" stuff... I NEED TO KNOW !!!!! :) To be honest, you can get some pretty decent pics online from the various photographers who take pictures of the jets over the fence. That's where I get all my Warton photos from! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
