Yeah I know about the color themes from the orig series...and none really appealed to me too much...I have been doing a bit of research over on robotech.com and I have found out some interesting stuff about the veritech fighters!
The VF-1S model that I am building, the orginal "Skull One" was the very first full operation veritech ever made. Accoarding to the Macross timeline the "skull one" was the only VF-1S to survive the macross series..there were only about 12 or so ever built, most were destroyed in the battle of the first episode. That being said I think I may make up a ficitonal squardron/color scheme...some intial ideas, The "Wolf Pack" dark grey colors w/ lighter accents, and a wolf's head on the tail. The "Red Devils", darker red colors, maybe black accents. "Dirty Dozen" olive drab colors w/ white underbellies. Of course al these names are stolen from other famous groups in military history, but I thought it might be fun..
The other idea I saw as I was reading was a stealth, or speacial ops veritech, a dark color would suit that idea well too.
I will definetly post some pics when I have made some progress!
