THX Guys for your kind words.
Stikpusher: I don't know exacty why and how, i am not an expert too. (I leve far far away from USA. :) ) The camouflage schemes are folowing the recent soviet aircraft schemes, and that is all. During excersize they can be isentified easily, and i think during this the pilots are getting used to how the other side will look like when oposing in real combat. (Maybe)
But USA has bought some MIG-29 some years ago too. I don't know where they are. When Germany had some of them (Before they sold them to Poland), they tested how can they perform against F-4 and F-16 and such (Maybe F-15-s as well). The MIG-s outperformed them, and could get into firing position soon. But the targeting systems used are far worse, and couldt get a good kill ratio from their position.
RobGroot4: I used a dark dirt wash from FloryModels, then toned the effect down with the base paint mainly on the light brown areas.
Plus before appliing the wash, the paint got some layers of clear varnish too! (otherwise, the wash will "burn" himself into the matt paints)
Or i can say, the whole process was:
1. appliing base white paint
2. pre-shade with a medium gray tone
3. base color apliing, light brown, than dark earth
4. color modifications - dark earth lightened a bit, and painted with it the middle panel sections, than light brown darkened with darker brown) and applied only on the panel lines.
5. clear varnish, two or three thin layers
6. apliing the wash and wait for driing
7. rubbing it back with a little moistured cloth (leaving it on the panel lines only)
8. tone down the panel lines with base paint
