CShanne Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 How is the kit so far, it looks great. I was excited about this until I built one of their Missouri Turrets (relatively new kit) and it has been a nightmare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oppenheimer Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 I decided i will go with a weathered finish on the apache, a very worn paint on it, so far y tested the finish look on the tail and i am quite happy on the final looks The Madhatter, Scotsman, Dany Boy and 14 others 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutik Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 How did you paint this? Looks very convincing! Somehow the nose with the multiple parts, shapes and the nice data placards looks like a masking nightmare when time has come to apply the camouflage color.

oppenheimer Posted Saturday at 02:01 PM Author Share Posted Saturday at 02:01 PM So i finished painting the tail boom, to me looks quite nice so far, had to use a black background for the pictures, never thought helo drab color will be that hard to photograph to show the weathering as it look with the naked eye Landrotten Highlander, blackbetty, Zola25 and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John1 Posted 10 hours ago Share Posted 10 hours ago Did you do anything to subdue that "Danger" T/R warning decal? Looks more faded than the other markings. Have fun on building a weathered -64, here's what I'll be trying to replicate when I start my build. Looks to be covered with more WW2 OD than modern US Army Helo Drab.
