Hey guys I'm using this time with the snow to fix my jets. I got a sweet CAI Razor this year from a buddy. But it's time for a new paint job. She is almost completely in primer right now fixing things here and there but trying to get my paint purchased.

These are the ones I'm digging so far. I like scale jets but I want this one to be easyer to see

if you got other pics that would be great. I have already went throw the show your jet posting

What it looks like before primer. Getting the red pin stips and stickers off was a night mare as its currently painted wtih automotive paint with clear ontop of the stickers and stripes.

The only good side shot I can find. Sweet paint job but I think to hard to see.

Personally I'd go with miss America, the bvm schemes are everywhere and frankly I never liked them to start with, same with the viperjet scheme. The swiss f5 scheme is beautiful but it's been used on so many jets over the years. The jolly rogers one is classic and if you over embellish the yellow on it, it actually shows up ok. But I still like miss America best.

As the painter for Miss America, I second that....

Miss America it is. I'm not sure how I'm going to transhion the blue on top of the tail. I know it's white paint has to be perfict for the candys not to look like crap

Miss America. No question about it...

I think the lines on your jet are close enough to a T-38 that a Thunderbirds scheme circa 1975 would bee too cool for school.

Jeremy is right. I've got the Jolly Roger on a Flash and with yellow/orange shows up well. Full on yellow/orange on the bottom.

Jolly Rogers. Not a fan of the stars on Miss America. A little cheesy IMO.

Hi Mike. That was actually my jet. I didn't find it hard to see and the plane was pretty fast too. That day was an overcast day and I didn't have any problems in that kind of sky either. The picture was taken at Floyd Bennett Field in NY. I bought it with that scheme which is really attractive. Basically, it is the Jolly Rogers scheme. You can find tons of pix on Google images of the actual squadron on various planes. Go for it!!

Cheesy?!? I guess there's no accounting for taste.

Look at the Italian training colors on their Aeromacchi MB-339. I think that Orange and White color shows up very well in any shy.....

Dantley,

No need to be rude. I did not mean to offend you and your patriotism. We're a military family, so I can relate. I simply do not care for the stars on the wing. It's a personal preference, nothing more, nothing less. Hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

I'm a tad partial to the Jolly Rogers scheme...

I do like the JollyRogers or the Jolly wrenches. (From Planes)


But the cool thing about Miss America. I have never seen one excep your pics

Dig it

I've always thought this would look good on that jet. I'm thinking of putting it on my scorpion one of these days.

Stage one. Looking good.

Any pointers on how to make the stars?

I usually have vinyl stencils or masks made for paint depending on the scheme. You could hand tape them using fine line but run the risk of being unsymetrical or having bleed through of paint at the corners.
