Not sure I like that as much as the splinter scheme, but it's probably closer to an "in-service" scheme, although the Russians are prone to some quite colourful schemes when you compare it to the US or GB.

Very nice reminds me of a shark dark grey top lighter underbelly

Bless their little crypto-Stalinist hearts, that's going to be much easier to paint.

Yessir, I like it.

Great Bog in Heaven help them if it's as unreliable as the F-22. Nice photographs by the way, Pin!

I think I prefer it to the splinter scheme, and should look rather tasty alongside the Su-34's which now wear a similar scheme

There was an interesting article in Aviation Week about this;

Yup, and before that we also used that "diamond scheme" on our Cheetah Cs and Ds. Unlike the Gripen, on the Cheetahs the darker diamond was also repeated on the bottom.

I must admit I really like the strong contrast made by the two colours used on the T-50. I think it looks great! I liked the earlier splinter scheme, but I think this looks even better.

Very Firefox, isn't it?

[JJC 17]

Leaves me feeling very 'meh'! But I suppose if it's effective then that's the main point

[Luke Piewalker 134]

At least it's not another fifty shades of grey variation...

Never mind the paint, look at the heat effect on those engine panel type things!!
