I ask because it has a sort of salmon overtone in the pictures.
See, my Uncle used to be in the Air Force. He told me that AF testing had determined that the ideal camoflage color for aircraft was a pale Pink. Something to do w/ the way the human eye processes the color red at a distance. Pilots however, refused to fly pink planes.
He could have just been jerking my chain, or repeating an 'Urban myth' style meme common in military service (if you've ever served you know what I mean). I really don't know, but the idea intrigues me...
Even if he was messing w/ me, after he told me that I noticed that DAK panzers were a sort of pink, and early desert shermans were too. B-24 Liberator bombers were painted a color called 'Desert Pink', etc.
So I've been thinking about building up a mech of some sort, and painting it pink. I've painted just about every other kind of camo on 'em, I'd like to try something different. Not Hot Pink, more of a pale salmon color. I think it would take weathering well, but every time I tell people about my idea, they look at me like I have something they don't want to catch...
Anyway, I was looking at your build up so far, and that red seemed interesting and different, so that's why I asked. I wasn't trying to be a smartass or thread-jack you; my apologies if I gave that impression.
Looking forward to more updates - JC
