Default Paint Scheme

Guys,

Been fiddling (badly) in PhotoShop to try and come up with a scheme for my Impact. Been looking at this too long to know whether I like it anymore. What do you think? Are the teeth too much or pleasantly different? Is that area in front of the canopy too bare or just uncluttered?!?!

Thanks for any input. Once I've sprayed it it'll be too late to change my mind

Rgds,
Mark

PS Thanks to J-P for a perfect shot to 'paint' on

Looks good, do something different w/ the eyeball and mouth. Like the idea, clean them up some they will look good, get you lots of comments.

Looks awesome except for the teeth.

Do you want it to look like the Goldberg 2M Lead Sled?? Just my 2c.

I don't know, with a ZDZ up front, it may sound and feel like a Warhawk barrelling down on the enemy!

I like the look teeth and all. I don't like how the canopy breaks into the white and blue line area though. I would consider bringing the red onto the canopy a little more to retain your white and blue stripe, up to the point where the canopy breaks from the fuselage line. The gray area of canopy would be smaller.

I like the teeth. Just clean it up some what. Might just scare away the competition.

Simple is better. Many of today's schemes are just too cluttered. If you have a lot of sponsers fine, but otherwise, something simple and visible.

Having said that, I'm a minimalist at heart.

Like the scheme. Show us whatever you end up doing!

Got inspired by some of the new Red Bull schemes and came up with my Red Bull Impact! Will probably go with this...
