Repaint idea on a Defender

By oneway, in X-Wing

Ok, so.. I've seen a defender with blood stripes.. and I liked it, but I just don't wanna copy the idea, so... what about white stripes. Yes I did use tape, I cannot paint that straight a line on anything.. lol

Thoughts?? Discuss...

Looks good I say

Might be the flash, but the white seems to blend in a little too much. Is it adequately visible in person? If so the it's great.

I'm not sure milk stripes instill the same fear as blood stripes. :)

seriously though, it looks great. You need to make a squadron to match now.

It is not as bright white as in the picture, I think the flash did brighten it a little. I also have only done the one wing so far.. lol

I kinda agree about the 'milk' stripe comment.. lol.. nice.. but I also didn't wanna do a yellow one either.. lol

Was looking for an alternative to the blood stripe.

Thanks for looking and thanks for the comments.. will be taking them into consideration for the next step.. who knows I may just overpaint it red.. though I do like the look...

Maybe lighten up the defender and call em.. Albino squad.. lol

I like the white. I picture 2 of them flying escort for a lambda looking real sharp.

Well they do say there is quality in quantity (the very crux of the TIE swarm). A whole squadron of them together will look awesome.... although.... "Look out Red 4, you have an Albino on your 6!!!" might sound a little odd.

Maybe that squad earns it's Quasar Stripes for blowing up capital ships... or Rebel Command ships...

LOL @AllDeadDave...

Quasar stripes.. I like it... no.. I love it.. maybe some silver in it to make em pop.

Forgottenlore... I dig that idea as well.. escort for an Albino Cosmic Manatee is a drop dead vision..

Gamma bombers have white stripes. This seems along those lines. Looks good

Make one with black keys too...
