lol, actually I was kidding.

Try this one.

And the xcf is way too big to upload here.

Basically it's creative use of layer masks. I desaturated it, adjusted brightness and contrast for all the camo spots and removed those, then applied the pattern with layer masks. Once I had the camo sorted out it was easy to apply either hello kitty or the union jack to it.

I figured I'd have some fun with it too. I see a few places where I could have done better, but I did manage to keep in some details and I got lazy taking out the camo up by the cockpit and the tailpoint.
