    Very nice, clean lines. What type of airbrush / painting setup did you use?

      Very striking scheme, SixOne, I like your choices! It looks like a completely different airplane to me. For some reason I get a Sepcat Jaguar vibe from the colors.

        Thanks, Marco Polo!

        I went to Home Depot and got a color match on the light Tan color and hand painted (with a little foam brush) the areas where I removed some of the original HSD decals and placed my own. The darker Khaki colored camo was a paint type used by HSD, that changed colors under fluorescent light, as oppose to natural sun light. So, since I couldn't duplicate that paint type characteristic, I modified the areas that I needed to with the Tan colored paint match. After the painting and decals were applied, I used (spray can) a coat of Minwax Polycrylic Clear Satin for the final finish, which turned out pretty good.

          Thanks, Alpha!

          The big "Navy" decals on the fuselage and wings are actually from the Freewing 90mm T-45, which I also own. ;)

            I did one similar to yours a couple of years ago, it was a mix of decals from the FW T-45 and 80mm F-86 Sabre, missles and rails are from the FW F-5, my pilots came from the T-45 as well.
