Just found mine, this SU-35 scheme is stunning, will have to replicate it on some 1/600th Sukhoi's:

What's your particular favorite?

Not exactly modern, but I really like the Egyptian Mirage 5 schemes in tan/grey/black with the oraange recognition triangles on the wingtips

I like this Su-30MKI:

and this Su-33:

I thought Malaysian had a nice sea-blue camo'd Sukhoi, but can't seem to find a link to it now. It was very similar to the above, if not the same, e.g. various shades of beautiful blues, for over water sorties.

Ok, I'll admit it. I like the US Airforce Nam camo scheme. Something about those F4's and Thud's look great to me.

Thanks,

John

The classic 1980's Swedish splinter camouflage is ace, but a right nuisance to paint in 1:300.

Top Gun Ace21 Aug 2009 1:38 p.m. PST

All of the above are quite good.

I also like the Saudi Tornado desert camo., and that of the Iranian F-14's too, in addition to others.

Vosper,

That CF-18 is gorgeous! Love the various Tiger Meet schemes over the years, this is certainly one of the best.

TGA,

Also like the Su-33 camo, always been one of my faves. Here's another cool Sukhoi scheme:

Yes, that is a nice one.

I also like the yellow and brown Terminator scheme from the movie Stealth, and the Russian Air Force.

Ratspike21 Aug 2009 5:42 p.m. PST

Does not really fit the requirements but it sure looks nice

I still like the three-color scheme on the killer-tweet. picture

Top Gun Ace21 Aug 2009 7:12 p.m. PST

That is a nice one.

I am rather fond of the Royal Netherlands Air Force F-16, Diana too – note, not work friendly, unless you live in Europe, or other tolerant country:

I'm with brutonboy, Saab JA-37 in splinter pattern has to be my favourite, and i'll be getting around to getting somw in 1:600 from OO. However, it will be tricky to reproduce an effective impression of it in this scale! I'm looking forward to playing some Swedish v Soviet over the Baltic Sea and maybe including some fast attack craft too(when i've completed a terrain mat). Hmmm lots of work to do!

The Alaskan F-16's have a very cool camo scheme.I'm not ure if I like the White, Grey & Black one better then the Blue one.

And BTW the Cuban Mig paint scheme, reminds me of some chevy picks the guys around here hand paint. Sorry but not cool.
