Inspiration.....over the next 3 nights......

[Army of One]

Dear all........If anyone reads this inbetween all the beer,wine,sprouts,tatties n mince pies......I am working 7pm-7am next 3 nights.....my choice n thinking of the money....!!!!! I have,incase of any quiet periods,brought in six (6) Kamov Ka 27 Helix 1/350 scale helicopters....I have ideas for a few schemes....if any one is board or wants to get away from the booze n food for a few minutes.....sling an idea this way for a  colour scheme....I think I have a few in mind....British ones.....prob a tiger meet one as well.....just to help me pass the hours away.....Happy Crimbo to all...!!! Enjoy your next few days....!!!!

How about a USN one?  Or would that be considered heresy?    Brits and a Tiger Meet version sound awesome!  Hmmmm....what else......Israeli?  Aeronavale (French Navy)? Canadian?  Can or UK ASR (All over glossy yellow!)? 

That's all I can think of for now.  Can't wait to see the little brood completed.  Should prove an interesting project to say the least 

Good luck working the next few nights.  I used to do the night shift as well over the Christmas season; fun stuff....  Stay safe and sane and warm!

Oh great.......some spanking ideas there.......I brought a limited amount of paints in....I'll google some helo's in the schemes suggested and see if I got the paints.....can always bring some other paints in tonight.....just to let you know...my skills may allow basic national insignia....however....serial numbers are a no....and stencilling and warning labels/stencils are definately out!!!!!

How about an air ambulance one? Always thought the co-ax rotor layout would be very suitable for that (no tail rotor hazard).

Well.....I been googling....got 4 in mind.......Mr W.....who's...? I doubt I'd be able to replicate (I'd love to...!!!) the Virgin RED HEMS.......

Use the Alaska Aggressor Scheme (light grey, Dark Ghost grey, and Black- wraparound camouflage) with Russian Markings.  Have a Chiropractor or two standing by in case of sudden double-takes.

Steel P.... .....that might take some concentration and an illuminated magnifier....which I have at home....can't bring it to work.....
Dragon.........sounds like a plan.....may ditch one of the schemes I've settled on........


Dragon....using google I have found some F16's in wrap around camo...black or very dark grey/white/med grey or light grey/darker grey/marine (?) blue.......

[Maverick]

Hank,

I might have a go at some profiles of these suggestions after Xmas.

Regarding the Alaskan aggressor scheme - the colours are FS36628 (Light Grey), FS36231 (Dark Gull Grey) & FS37030 (Black).

Have fun with the builds, bit of a bugger over the festive season tho.

Regards,
