Painting the wing to look like water , or it or the fuse looking like sand (KEEP that away from my motor ! ) and sea shell's wold be intresting .
Sureality themes , Pine needles , paving , bullet holes would be a bit crass ? , Ones own 'air force' colour schemes too .
Galah's are quite intresting , Varyying from silver to mid gray under , and pink to magenta on top.good for an 'air superiority' Spitfire .
The correct R.A.F. scheme being a mid/light gray under and P.R.U. (a deep sky blue) over, to make it disapear at high Altitude.
The desert scheme was a pale pink .(to stop being harrased they used to say that it was Brown paint,but had faded in the harsh light to pink )
Same trip, to make the plane invisible high over the middle east. Mine'd be a personal derivitive of these , purloined from Nature .The Birds .
Used to be some flash pinstipeing around once too. . .
Air Brushing of the 'Coustom Van' era , was sureal generally. plenty of books on airbrushing about .
Some sanely priced airbrushes available too . . . Usually for the plastic scale kit fraternity , Capable of V fine adjustment .
the only thing is , were they all stoned back then ?
in the intrests of 'creativity '.
