Slater Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 A rather fetching paint scheme: https://www.janes.com/defence-news/news-detail/2020/05/12/e67d78f0-24d7-40f0-b6b9-95d093905cf3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 14, 2020 Share Posted May 14, 2020 Very similar to the U.S.N. WW2 3/4 color scheme and one I plan on doing if I ever get around to doing an Osprey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Filbert_Wang Posted May 15, 2020 Share Posted May 15, 2020 The Japanese have got some very interesting camo patterns and colours on the Osprey. Think there is a 1/72 Hasegawa kit of that one. I've been trying for months to get hold of this one which is used by the Japanese Army, the scheme makes it look like something from a sci-fi. Awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 That colour scheme is ficticious unfortunately Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nev Posted May 18, 2020 Share Posted May 18, 2020 I feel like I should clarify Red Dot's comment. The colour scheme is the real 3-tone scheme worn by JGSDF helicopters. It's just not been worn on a Osprey. Yet Neither has this one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 I really like the Sea scheme in the last profile. Not accurate but sure looks good to my eyes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Filbert_Wang Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 It does look very good! I believe Hasagawa has released a kit in that scheme quite recently - got something in Japanese Twitter, but haven't been able to find it in any stores (so I assume is a pending release).

Red Dot Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 They did indeed. It was released in Japan as I remember seeing one in a shop, probably around 2 years ago Andy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 That was released back in 2014 and luckily l was able to pick I one up in Singapore 2019. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 They did the same with the F-22 Raptor! Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slater Posted May 26, 2020 Author Share Posted May 26, 2020 Japanese Apaches are sporting the camo scheme previously mentioned: 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Dot Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) All JGSDF helicopters were the same scheme as above, except if they are on specialist exercises, such as in snow. The Osprey is the exception. I lied!! I forgot the blue Enstroms Andy Edited May 29, 2020 by Red Dot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
