modelling minion Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Very nice Ray, I do like the early USN grey and white scheme. Very interesting looking Wolfpak decal sheet I can see there with a nice looking H-21 and the temporary white painted A-10 from Alaska, a scheme that I really want to do myself in 1/48 scale. Is that the undersides of a H-19 I can see on it too? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted June 28, 2020 Author Share Posted June 28, 2020 My, my, you have a good eye there, that sheet is for another helo build I started some time ago that I am trying to finish, the other Helo is another H-19 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modelling minion Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Ooh a HH-3! I really do like them! The dayglo looks great on her, which paint did you use for it? There are some very nice options on that sheet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The paint is an old jar of Testors Fluro Orange, I had issues with it last time I used it. This time I sprayed a white base first and it worked a treat, it takes a few light coats to get good coverage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Alpha Yankee Posted July 5, 2020 Author Share Posted July 5, 2020 I managed to get some painting done this arvo, all that is left (I think) is to fit the door, add the anti-col beacons and some decals. I also just noticed a few little touch ups are also required. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
