Meep. Here to see the improbable splinter camo. And I like communist tubes.

Mr. Kapesnicek. I used to have a big poster of it when I was a kid. And saw it on an airshow once. Good luck on the masking haha.

Glad you found a formula that will work. It sure is nice to have a forum where you can ask questions, and get the answers you need, or that help.

Soo.. after 3 attempts resulting in a stripping.. a re-engraving to clear filled panel lines.. and then some how a perfect night with new thinners that just worked..
Base coat is done.

I've been admiring picture 9 for a while now and have to take in for a moment that Augie only ever brush paints: extremely smooth surface Augie! 👍

Nobody and I mean nobody yields a meaner "hairy stick" than Augie. I don't know how she does it.

Well, its been a while with this one.. and here is the progress.. I've had to order a second decal set after fubaring one side of the rudder.
Needs to be left to dry a while now, before I start on the fuselage.
It has just struck me however, why on earth has no one done this for the sweedish fields and meadows scheme???????

I would love to have decals for swedish disruptive camo - only then I would have a Viggen (and maybe Strvg.103) on my shelf...

So quick update as to where decals are.. some touch-ups will be needed but all in all, going ok.
Syhart's decals really snuggle down hard with softener, but they are thin.. I mean really thin, where I have already done a repair, you cant even see that there is a bit of decal over it..

The camo looks good, Augie. 👍
It feels like placement of the decals must be absolutely perfect so that they fit with the one for the aircraft number.

Very cool paint scheme on one of my favorite aircraft. The Czech Air Force frequently paints their aircraft in interesting ways.
