Slater Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I have a Revell 1/32 Lakota on order and was struck by the odd camo scheme (for a US Army machine). Some research reveals it to be an "OPFOR" paint scheme styled to represent a Russian desert scheme (debatable?). Anyone attempt this scheme on a Lakota kit? http://www.verticalmag.com/features/20382-being-the-enemy-html/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotthldr Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 It's the same scheme that is found on the Hohenfel, Germany FOCT/JMRC Lakota's, this may help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonywood Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 There is also a similar Lakota two tone scheme consisting off biege and olive green. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julien Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 One thing to note when I was looking at this is there is considerable overspray on the dark yellow, its almost like there is another colour band around it.http://www.militaryaircraft.de/pictures/military/helicopter/UH-72/UH-72_ILA2014_0045_800.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junglejim Posted September 27, 2016 Share Posted September 27, 2016 Got to see one of these at the Hohenfels Volksfest in 2015. I really wish I had taken interior pics! I rushed right out and tracked down the decals, bought the DRF EC-145 kit, and then Revell goes and does that version...typical. Jim 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted September 27, 2016 Author Share Posted September 27, 2016 Seems a bit gaudy for a camo scheme... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion, they tend to have the most outgoing contemporary paint jobs! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
