Default Looking for ideas

Well being away from the hobby this year has got me pondering my next project, more so the scheme I am looking for. I want to do something sporty and the colors I am thinking of are either white/ orange with black or silver trim or teal green/sky blue/silver with black outline. So to help me come up with a design I figured seeing others may give me some ideas so post if your bored and willing post your sport jets! I know there are a few post pictures of your jet threads, but I cannot locate them, some of my old bookmarked threads no longer work since rcu upgraded. Thanks

I can't help you with the 'sporty colors', but I am interested in the status of your F-14.
Regards,
Gus

A SPORT jet Fender.. Well come on in!..... I think you will love the easy operation and great flying characteristics of a sport jet..

One of the hardest things for me, is deciding what scheme to paint my models in.. I spend hours and hours lying awake contemplating this problem. Painting a jet is such an effort, you want to get that scheme right. And there are so many beautiful “Factory” schemes out there, it is extremely difficult to be original.

Here are my three custom painted sport jets..

The Balsa Bandit is a pseudo military scheme I borrowed off a model Chris Huhn built many years ago. The Kandi Bandit scheme is my creation, trying to be different. The Bobcat is a custom scheme, similar to the factory Bobcats but hand painted with a bit of artwork.

Good Luck..

Gus, I finished the F-15 before I went overseas, the F-14 is still waiting to be started. I was considering selling my stuff since i have no local place to fly any more and which is why im considering a sport jet.
Roger.alli, im the same way im very picky with my color schemes, I will spend weeks trying to come up with something lol. Thakns for the pictures hoping more people chime in!
Nice looking bandit!!

Well, let me just say that there is nothing like flying a sport jet. They are precise, go where you point them and are wicked fast.

In my humble opinion, A bandit is the most precise of any sport jet I've flown and hey, it's a BVM model so you know it will perform, build and maintain well.

Here are some of my Bandits. Included are my old kingcat and even my ultra bandit. There are even some in the colors you want!

If I was limited to only one jet, it would be HANDS DOWN, without any question, a Bandit.


















Not Bandits, but a good substitute. Flashe's just aren't quite as precise as bandits.
