This is another project turned out easily without the need for me of to change something.

This has been a project born well (thank to the JP VIEIRA's design that has proven to be very purposeful) and I did not found big troubles into completing it.
I painted the FA-818 without to change idea: the design of the camo results as eye catching: not bad surprises as in another my project.
The homemade decals have worked well at the first attempt.

OK, this one has been completed. Now forward with the other projects.

Thanks to all here for the support, it's nice to see the our work appreciated!

Very cool! The red low-vis markings are an interesting touch, and they work well. Superb stuff.

***The red low-vis markings are an interesting touch, and they work well. ******

At the beginning of the experiments with the red decals  I tested some variations of red (from brick red to pink) at the purpose of to find a tone visible over the dark green zone.
I did an attempt to paint in YELLOW the parts of red markings that fall up a dark green zone.
As the attempt did prove to be very risky I let loose.

it turned out very well!

Splinter cammo looks great after weathering, and red US markings are bullseye!
