          Awesome!!! I did the same thing when I got mine... After I started with the green patches, it felt as though it was a never ending project!!!

              Way to go! Looks fantastic.....(even if I may be a bit biased on this one he he). Looks very realistic and I remember these in our small Air Force back in the 80’s.

                Just to prove that people do read and learn from all the useful information that gets posted on here - My first attempt at weathering my FMS Tigercat, using all the tips I learnt from Hobbysquawk and elsewhere.
                I know it's not completely scale, but I just wanted a highly visible scheme.
                Thanks you all for sharing your knowledge, and adding to my enjoyment of our hobby.
                And thanks to Callie Graphics for the excellent service.

                                Thanks man. I had a few paint peels. I also stuck a soldering iron into the nose by accident while making an 8" extension for the nose gear. But a little puttty, sanding, and paint made it all go away.

                                I hand sketched the peeling paint effect then cut out a paper mask. Worked just fine.

                                Also I used this Post-It note tape that I found while in Joann's Fabrics with the wife. It works great and does not lift paint off foam.

                                    Really love to customize the birds and make them stand out at the field, amazing what a little work can do for these great plans from Motion RC

                                        Here is the bird with scale tanks and a few more decals. The placement of the flag on the back is correct for another aircraft in this squadron. I changed the tail paint scheme slightly from the original. The camo tanks are correct as referenced in two photos. I personally believe these tanks were temporary and were probably borrowed from another anniversary painted aircraft in this squadron.
