Cheers, Sean One can't help but think that they are mocking modelers who heavily highlight panel lines with that paint job! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sean Bratton Posted October 23, 2009 Author Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe they're hoping to win Tamiyacon? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnsg Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 It's preshading. They didn't get the time to do the color coats before going to the States. :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
LoganTLR Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 HI You do know that some will use this as definative proof that every single panel is bordered by a heavy black wash ... LOL Gotta love Tornado special schemes. T Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Skyraider Maniac Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 I'll have to be on the lookout for that one tomorrow - Holloman is having their Open House Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tilt Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Wow!! That's wild. Almost looks like they let loose a small group of 8 year olds with big fat jiffy markers. LOL Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Middleton Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 Maybe they're hoping to win Tamiyacon? is there a category at Tamiyacon for using The Detailer? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bill Posted October 23, 2009 Share Posted October 23, 2009 That is so awesome. I would be willing to bet the Crew Chief is a scale model maker. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Roberts Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 But the panel lines are in the wrong places! Look at the panel lines on the intake...rookie mistake with a scriber it looks like Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk55 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Holy Cr__! That is the coolest thing I've ever seen ! So much for Lo-Vis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
F106A Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Now why in the world doesn't the USAF allow something like that just for morale? Not the same, but you know what I mean. That is so cool! Mark (It was a rhetorical question! I know why!) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve N Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 That's actually the new cinder block RAM coating. Makes the aircraft stealthy, but severly limits range and load. SN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Eh, they were a little too subtle if you ask me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nev Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I really like that, very cool :blink: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
spike7451 Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 It looks more like someones photoshopped a painting of a Tornado over a real background! Wierd with a capitol WIE! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 Would really like to see a picture of it in flight. Must be weird on the eyes. With out seeing the gear and cockpit, almost looks like a cartoon, hard to make out the visual 3d lines LOL. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Middleton Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 They went for a subtle look. that's neat with the New Mexico flag on the bottom Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wayne S Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 (edited) They went for a subtle look. Definitely must of been fun to paint that. that's neat with the New Mexico flag on the bottom Shame it would be complicated to paint LOL. I have a 72nd Tornado in my stash. German fliers achieve 55,555 flight hours at Holloman. http://www.af.mil/news/story.asp?id=123173537 was wandering what that blue guy was all about on it LOL. http://www.af.mil/shared/media/photodb/pho...F-0295S-502.jpg Edited October 24, 2009 by Wayne S Quote Link to post Share on other sites

GreyGhost Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I like it ... sort of has an 'industrial' feel to it ... that's neat with the New Mexico flag on the bottom Ah yes, Ken, "The Land of Enchantment ..." Gregg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimEarls Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I think they screwed up on the tanks though. Research shows those panel lines are incorrect. :P Quote Link to post Share on other sites
