Reini78 Posted July 3, 2022 Author Share Posted July 3, 2022 decals would have been done, but my dad made an oopsie, he put the right side flag on the vertical stabilizer instead of the rudder....so remove the decal, repainting and so on.....luckily there are two sheets with this decal included DSC_0001 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr DSC_0002 by grimreaper110, auf Flickr 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fukuryu Posted July 3, 2022 Share Posted July 3, 2022 As Uruguayan I don't get the "Jungle Cowboy" reference in the title. This is a typical Uruguayan landscape: Regarding the model itself not much I can add besides saying that the colours look spot on in my experience (mainly with gate guardians); my understanding is that they were locally mixed. I know that it was true at least for helicopters since the group commander told me that himself. In any case, if you want to get more acquainted with the subject, this is the book to get: I don't have it but the author is known as THE SME (Subject Matter Expert). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chose jungle because the camo looks SEA/jungle like. When thinking of South America, jungle comes to mind automatically. Changed it to pampa, more suitable for your landscape 😉 Found some excerpts of this book online with a few pics of 372 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RidgeRunner Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Whatever the title, Reini, she is coming along beautifully . I have a second build of FAU AT-33 “207” and F-51D “258” in my plan. The decals are a challenge but I have a huge amount of support from @Ignacio and @Giorgio N. When the Arma Hobby Mustang D-model gets released she will be done :). The T-bird will be a Platz :). Keep up the good work! Martin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
