Enzo the Magnificent Posted October 13, 2020 Author Share Posted October 13, 2020 Although USAF and later USN Broncos were painted overal light grey, they weren't in the same grey. USAF aircraft were painted in FS16473 ADC Grey. I used Xtracrylix XA1138, Later USN Black Ponies aircraft were painted in FS16440 Light Gull Grey. I used Xtracylix XA1137 sprayed in a number of very thin coats to prevent puddling. the USMC Cherry Six aircraft were painted with FS34097 Field Green uppersurfaces and FS16440 Light Gull Grey lowersurfaces. I used Mr Hobby H340 and Xtracrylix XA1137 respectively. The Cherry Six and USAF aircraft were used in the FAC role, which explains the white areas on their uppersurfaces. The Black Ponies were employed in the light attack role - a role in which they were very successful! 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 gee you have been busy! They're looking great now with some paint on.

It all looks a wee bit different....and I see you've got a wee shield.....to help herd/fight off all the cats in the coming Bumfight!! You know that's not going to work!!!!

PeterB Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Hi Rich, Yes they have made some changes - bit like the local supermarkets, once you know where everything is they move it to confuse you. No doubt it will be fine once we get used to it - I had to ask Mike how to find the "edit" button!. From the position of the "shield" as you call it on Enzo's Avatar, I can't work out if it is meant to be the equivalent of a cricket "box", a sporran or a codpiece! The placement is a little confusing😆! Pete Edited October 13, 2020 by PeterB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, it's not made of vibranium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Great to see your Broncos back underway Enzo, and looking very nice they are too. Its great to see the three schemes next to each other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

modelling minion Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 This really is a fantastic trio Enzo. I have always liked the Bronco and I really like that you have covered all 3 services use in Vietnam, and got a variety of colour schemes too. Very well done. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trickyrich Posted December 26, 2020 Share Posted December 26, 2020 NICE!!!! Well done mate, they look fantastic together! As Craig mentioned, it's great to see the variations al together. Again right down to the wire, but a 100% success rate, well done. Arrr is that wee yellow mark in all those photos on your backdrop or in your camera?

It's on the backdrop. I would turn the backdrop over but the other side is worse! It used to be easy to replace them. I would just go to the local card shop which had an art supplies section in the back. They had everything I needed. Brushes, oil paints, artists acrylics, card sheets, copydex... and you could even buy birthday cards. You name it, they had it. Sadly a couple of years ago they were bought out by a well known high street chain, which I won't name. I will say that they have a yellow and blue logo. This chain is rubbish. Despite claiming that they stock art supplies, they don't really. And despite claiming that they will order things for you, they are rubbish at that at well. They are all too willing to take a 50% deposit but then they take literally months before they finally come back to you to tell you that they cannot get the item in. Then they don't refund the deposit but give you shop credit. This is invariably for something I could order off the internet and have it delivered in three days. It's not the internet that is killing the high street. It's the pathetic indifference of the major chains. I've just looked at the website of this chain. They have a huge banner stating SALE! EVERYTHING MUST GO! Underneath there is a disclaimer stating "Selected lines only". So... it's not actually everything is it, you dullards?!?!?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
