what colours to use

just built my model typhoon and was thinking what colours to use?
any idea's

I have always been partial to blue....

Sandy brown or grey.
I've always liked the light brown colour on military jets, but be authentic. Find a pic of an actual paint job to follow. I'm sure a search of Google Images will turn up some nice pics to duplicate for your model.

Post a pic of the finished plane when it's painted, then we can all turn into art critics.

come on, be brave, be daring, be a rogue!

Paint it pink!

nawh nawh...ya all...paint it poiple!

nah pink doesnt look right

It's easy, resize it with paint(or other image application), before posting it.

I think with the new image tags, sizing does'nt work.

Are you kidding? That pink plane looks awesome!

That's it, I'm going to build me a model plane and paint it pink.
Thanks for the inspiration!

when you do post it

anyhow here is a camo one

What was the subject?

Your background is simply too distracting.....

Light blues and greys appear to be popular now.

Like the record says.
Paint it black.

Beige, I don't know why, just seems like a good colour for a plane.

Beige with brown bits.

Paste a picture of Jessica Alba on the side of it.

Peace

Shame shame!!

You are suposed to paint it before you put it together!

You should paint it like Russians paint their Su-30/35s-blue camofladge. Google Su-27/30/35 and you'll find the paint job one some. Its a great color, DEFINETLEY BETTER THEN AMERICAN GRAY PAINTJOBS!!
