Sopwith Camel of HOAF

[Пилот]

My SWMBO asked for Her Own Airforce. So, I had to obey. It's Sopwith Camel. Notice the HOAF standard 2 colour camouflage paint scheme with purple and silver tinsels, together with low-visibility (pink and violet) roundels which, as usual, represent Skviki, angry hamster in flying helmet and pink dress. Roundels on the wings are inspired by classic Entente motive, and those on the fuselage by Central Powers. So, Skviki can fly for both (against me, actualy ).

Intriguing... I think
At least inventive.

It's supposed to be - it's for a woman

[Boney10]

Well, I've seen a pink DR1,now a pink Camel, there is also a pink Spitfire around.... Wonder if any others.
At least your SWMBO plays, mine not a hope

[Brambo]

DO NOT let my Grandaughter see that!

[Пилот]

Or you are going to do some painting, are you

[Lt. S.Kafloc]

Well its different, it stands out from the crowd, it looks great but I have to ask can it cook and make tea and toast when you wake up?

[MoonSylver]

You buncha chauvinists. As long as it gets SWMBO to the table/supportive of the hobby, & thus tolerant of his buying more minis, then it's all good.

Well its different, it stands out from the crowd, it looks great but I have to ask can it cook and make tea and toast when you wake up?

So wrong...

[Kaiser]

Looks scary!

Your's do that???? No matter how long I spend painting them, my minis have never done that!

[csadn]

Looks like the Royal Newfoundland Air Force.... :)

[Antabires]

gosh now my wife wants one!!!

[gully_raker]

I think you have done a very nice thing for your wife & I bet she appreciates it. Great to see some wives getting into the Sky.

Very gay.

It's supposed to be - it's for a woman

OK, I admit I was using the word in a misleading fashion, but I didn't say "That's so gay."

I was intending as "the word's primary meaning was "joyful", "carefree", "bright and showy", and the word was very commonly used with this meaning in speech and literature."

Source: The Meaning of: Gay.

So, Пилот,
It is very bright and showy. And there are precidents, as Chris points out:

Looks like the Royal Newfoundland Air Force....

Baldrick pointed out the Pink and Black planes on this thread, if you missed it: Royal Newfoundland Air Force.

I will show it to my Better Half, but I don't think it will entice her into the game. She might use the term "gay" in a more derogatory way.

I like your paint job, in any event. Sorry for any confusion, despite the fact I started it intentionally.

Not my colors, but very nice work!!!

I need another G&T. I usually only see pink Elephants.

If you mean her, yes, she does. If you mean minis, well... they are not Japanese robots

Mike,
I'm sorry I neglected original meaning. And you are right, it was supposed to be gay in that meaning, too. Don't worry, I wasn't offended - after all it is pink with tinsels

(and with this one, you really have to check your 6 )
