V-2 Camouflage
What is your favorite V-2 color scheme?
|
Chris,
Not to be nit-picky, but there were two different Black and Yellows, four different camos, at least ten variations of Black and White here and in Germany. I voted Black and Yellow as the restored V-2 at White Sands is spectacular. On the other hand, my all-time favorite model rocket (and best flying) is the my black and white Estes BT-80 V-2. Perhaps you could either expand or clarify the poll? |
While I don't have any particular scheme in mind, I was more interested in the color scheme that most of you would choose to paint a V2. Here is a link that expands the different schemes that V2s were painted:

The Splinter camo pattern is my Fav but since it would disappear in the grass I'm going to dress mine in black and white or black and yellow livery.

I like this camo one, but I mostly paint my V2's in the red and white checkerboard.

To be pedantic there were only three camouflage schemes: Gebatikt, Geflammt, and Gezackt (batiked, wavy, and ragged; with batik being a blended edge and the remaining schemes a hard edge). There was also the solid RAL 7009 as time was running out. Everything else is a roll pattern or conspicuity markings. |

Now here's a thread I can really relate to! I've personally built most of the schemes, and oddly enough my fave is the Peenemunde Late Test scheme (green/white). I'm not sure why. Maybe because it looks so "operational".
Hence, left to right: Peenemunde, "Flying Witch", "Jagged", "Pinup Girl": p.s. Mary hand paints the "Jagged" scheme. What a trooper! |
Those look awesome!

Thanks! I scratch-built this White Sands variant since the last time I posted on this thread.
