Modern Aviation Night Vision Camouflage

With the latest digital night vision capabilities, modern military aviation camouflage is becoming impossible to replicate in anything except the largest scales. Truly this hits home hard with me.

Hells teeth! I see what you mean Matt! I wouldn't even want to attempt that in 1/8th scale, never mind 1/48th scale!
Clever idea though - I presume it's designed to cause pixel interference, and I guess it probably works extremely well!

Yep... just take a look at Western operator camo. What are us 1/72nd effers supposed to do.

Well I suspect that I will have to just resign myselft to easier camo.

Jeez! I guess some company will probably introduce decals to do the scheme, a bit like the decals for the WW1 lozenge pattern which, come to think of it, is a distant relative of the 'new' scheme. In 1/72nd, I suppose it could be painted as a basic representation, but it would still be a b!tch to do!!
