Project Aircraft Paint Schemes

Gentlemen, ladies, and fighter aircraft enthusiasts:
Aircraft projects has always revolved around the world's new generation aircraft, older generation upgrades, aircraft past, present, and future weaponry developments and tests, etc.

As such, one thing that has noteably continued to go unmentioned as part of Aircraft Projects is fighter aircraft paint schemes. There have been a few topic threads revolving around the discussion of "Why black?" or "Why are aircraft that are stealth more or less painted black or grey?", etc.

This topic thread is geared and directed towards nations that have undertaken Aircraft Projects simply in the realm of paint schemes. They have forsaken research and development into aircraft designs, better electronics, and weaponry, etc. They have left that to the allies. What these nations have done is that they have concentrated on making their fighter aircraft unique in ways others have not dared to go or seen as necessary to a fighters ability's.

Let us venture into the realm that only a few have dared to go, shall we?

I have personally seen the Teamwork demo aircraft do manauvers.

I had this excellent site for unusual paint schemes, but I can't find it right now, pitty...

No way, Lucretius.
Excellent find.
Where you find that? Is that a turkey-hawk painted on that Hind?
Just joking.
Nice find.

Wow, I love this thread. Those Belgians really know how to paint a plane!! In the first pic that was posted where the spitfire is painted on the jet, you could use this technique on your car or truck. Paint it with pictures of other cars and trucks. Then when you are in an accident all the witnesses will give conflicting testimony.

I've seen that Hind before on the net

Damn there was this site full of these types of pics but I can't find it....
