48-Alone-Is-Great Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Paint It Black … or white or both That says it all really: the main colour scheme should be black, or white, or a combination of the two (combination yes, so not "I've combined the two colours by mixing them to get US Navy light grey"). A black Black Widow, a white Gustav, a waterline Titanic, a white stealthy Mercedes camper van (with full interior detail of course), a SWAT officer, a UN APC, a black Blackhawk, a White Scars Dreadnought, you name it. Bonus points if you manage to work Rolling Stones into your theme. I’ll finally get started on my Josef Jacobs triplanes, perhaps on an airfield that has a couple of boulders. Anyone else interested to paint it black? @48-Alone-Is-Great @Corsairfoxfouruncle @Andwil @Marklo @CliffB @dnl42 @zebra @gingerbob @Redstaff @Adam Poultney @Col. @Paul J ...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted October 12, 2022 Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Go ahead and add me, there is a zebra striped Black & White P-51 Reno racer from back in the 60’s and 70’s. https://www.aircraftresourcecenter.com/Fea1/101-200/Fea181a-HI-Time-Racer-Williams/00.shtm Or the Black and white distrmper camouflage. https://www.pinterest.com/pin/417075615464015786/ Edited October 12, 2022 by Corsairfoxfouruncle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andwil Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I have an interest in night fighters, plus I also have a Triplane to build as Jacobs’ plane, or an Albatros of von Tutschek, so include me please. AW 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marklo Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 And to think I only did this a while ago for the blitzbuild. I also have a 1/48 Fokker DR1 in Joseph Jacobs colours but it’s probably past 25%. That said insure I can find something so put me down. Something like the above, both of which I have in the stash. Actually now that I think of it I also have a Be12 that I want to do as a night fighter and a camel that I’d like to convert into a comic so actually it might be more difficult deciding what not to build…. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 13, 2022 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Meteor IIIs were painted in standard camouflage and then oversprayed white as a recognition scheme before they went into combat. Saturn I, Saturn V, Space Shuttle... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingerbob Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 "My philosophy, like colour TV, Is all there in black & white." -Raymond Scum We need a ruling on how much "trim color" is allowed, Personally I think the more ONLY white and/or black it is, the better. And now I'm thinking of Spinal Tap... And I'll even offer a theme song: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the farewell flight of the Mirage III in Swiss service: http://www.safc.ch/2003/sac/airshow3.html and https://www.pbase.com/m_mutsaers/goodbye_swiss_mirage And yes, that A-10 was black and white.

48-Alone-Is-Great Posted October 30, 2022 Author Share Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) Politics has become so polarized, there is only ‘my way’. Everything is black and white. Yet somehow this GB isn’t 30 strong yet … are ... are BM members politically sensible? Surely not for a GB!? Come on! So many options to choose from! Like these: Arrow, Austrian, Betty, Blackbird, Black Knight, Brunswicker, White Scar ... from 1800 to 40K, why wait?
