Well after much deliberation I think I sorted out how to post a link that works. Here’s to hope anyways. I was fooling around with my airbrush learning how to spray better. I did not like how my A-10 was turning out so I decided to do this strange paint scheme instead. I like it and think it turned out O.K. I just wanted to share and see what people thought. I got the insperation from the lastest FSM. I would spray and then stick loads of litle blue tack balls on the aircraft and then spray again. Tell me what you think.

No offense, but if there were A-10’s in the 60’s, that would be their paint job. Interesting combo! Thanks for sharing, Aaron!

I like it, shows some imagination.
Agree with Demono69. I’ve always wondered what an A-10 on acid would look like![:D]
Seriously though, I once saw a picture of a B-24 with a paint job like that - if I remember correctly they were used as lead ships in a formation and had markings like that to make them easy to spot. That’s what your Hog reminds me of.
Great job, and very creative. Makes the bad guys take a second look; that’s when ya bash 'em! Nice work.
Honestly, they actually used experimental camo schemes just like that during the early 80’s as part of the JAWS (Joint Attack Weapons System) trials at Ft Hunter Liggett, CA. The schemes were never adopted, though. Just a little history lesson.

They were war weary (worn out) and only used when the formation formed-up after take off. When the others headed for the target they went back and landed. Occasionally the were used to chase down parts or ferry crews to R&R areas.
