I have now eventually (Oh how I hate acrylic paints) painted the main colours of the scheme, a few other parts still to paint. I am surprised at how light the upper grey is especially when comparing it to the lower grey.

Starting to take shape. I like the idea that you are running with about the colour scheme, it seems to add a slight splash of colour difference. -
Wow that was quick.

Good to see this coming along. I like the way that you fitted the intakes, much better than the kit way, which I did.

Oops finger trouble, but still out of price range. -

Also now in stock at Hobbyterra, but at $199 which not what I was hoping for so still out of my price range. -
As far as I am aware and I did work on Chinooks for 12 year the RAF ones have never had a tint on these windows. As for other countries I am not so sure., although looking through a book that I have I don't think that the US Army did either. I think that it is just the way that the light hits these windows and the main screens that makes it look as if they are tinted.

Altogether now, although I still have the HD and the front windscreen to add before I start to add paint, which hopefully will be sometime this week.
-
Having worked on Chinooks although not in Afghanistan, but in Iraq I know that there was no tint on the eyebrow windows.
-
Having built one, I would agree with this statement.

Good recovery.

Those Aires exhausts are much better than the kit ones. The strange thing is that the 1/72 exhausts are even better than the 1/48 ones by the looks of what you are showing.

1/48 Mig-29A, Hungarian Air Force. Update 19/08

Good work Dave, and the national markings add that splash of colour against the grey of the whole scheme. -
Good job with the paint scheme, and the rest is coming on well.

Fitted last night with no problems, so I don't know what I was worried about.
