I agree. It also looks very sci-fi, in an Angel Interceptor-y kind of way 8-)
I was tempted to do it as a spacey thing.

That gray paint scheme completely changes the character of that airplane. Gives it an aggressive air like you wouldn't want to mess with it. That really fine work Celt!

I can but agree, the Stiletto looks much more aggressive in grey. In fact, I think the aircraft makes a very plausible combat type. Top work, Celt.

Centreline tank to match the airframe, Olive Drab for the bombs with the rocket pods either OD or grey to match the airframe or maybe use a slightly different shade of grey for the tank and pods to give a little contrast? It's up to you Celt, you're firmly in whif territory here!

Good call Shaun. Maybe dress up the od on the bombs with yellow noses, and maybe gun metal on the drag fins

Ah, yes, I forgot, "live" bombs need yellow rings painting round them just aft of the nose and yes, perhaps the fins in a metallic such as gun metal. Well pointed out that man :grin:

Celt, to give you an idea, look at "Snakeye bombs" on Google Images.
