I did not choose these colors!
« on: November 12, 2015, 12:16:04 PM »
I'm a "red and white" kind of guy, but I decided to let the grandkids choose the colors for my latest project. They said the new "in" colors are dark blue and apple green. I said "no way", but.....

Looks great to me.   If you don't like it, well better yet I got too many planes now.

Funny you should mention the Seahawks Wayne. I never paid that much attention to their uniforms before, but the day after I finished the painting, we watched the Seahawks play. I was dumbfounded at the colors. They even had apple green pin-striping outlining their light blue uniform numbers. Exactly the same as I did my AMA number. The grandkids were freaking out. Weird.

Paul,

I think the color choice was a good one. The blue isn't right out of a can, looks like a mix?

Cleaver segway from the fuselage into the wing.  H^^

The scheme works. I like it!
