Mil Mi28 Havoc, when the courtain was still effective ...

[Giovanni]

On my pending pile there was an old Italeri chopper, the Mil Mi 28 Havoc realised before the real machine was revealed, 1/72 scale of course. A simple kit on the standard quality expressed by Italeri in that time.
Now the model is on the camo-department, waiting for the final decision about its camo.
I 've made some alternatives for it:
1 ispired by the Ka 29 camo

2 winterised option A

3 winterised option B

4 winterised option C

which one do you prefer ? Thanks for your contributes.

Giovanni, welcome aboard.

For my mind the winterised B & C options are the best, leaning towards the C option for some splinter difference.

Welcome to the madhouse Giovanni.
The last one works for me with that splinter camo. and I love the wolf's head

[Thiel]

I'd go for C.

[Army of One]

Welcome aboard....!! I really like option 'C'.....the colours are great n love the wolfs head.....I think the smoother lines are better than the sharper lines of option 'D'........go for option 'C'......

[TsrJoe]

for me the latter 2 look really neat, love the wolfs head integrated into the camouflage too 

[Mossie]

Very nice!  Can I suggest an alternative to B, with the white over the light grey & the dark grey showing.  I do like the way you've worked the wolf's head into the camo pattern.

here the new proposed alternative by Mossie ( thanks !  ) :

This is great! It is so special to see a profile of the "old fat" Havoc concept! I would choose option C but its really fun to see all of them. Welcome aboard!

Thank you Giovanni!

now about the FS color numbers for these greys.
I started from the Ka 29 greys and found these different references:
From Begemot Decals:
FS 36424
FS 36231
From Zvezda kit:
FS 36118
FS 35237
really two different interpretations, which one is better from your informations ?
I found also some pictures of a new camo on Ka 52, also similar to the Ka29 camo:

waiting for your suggestions about these colors, thank you.

That scheme looks as though you could get away with brush painting it in 1/72.........looks good.....

[Giovanni]

After several days I have decided to follow Begemot instruction, so XF 20 and XF 54 by Tamiya for the Greys.
Here the fist stage on the kit:

waiting for the dark grey ... still with the wolf mask

Wow, just wow! That is the first time I have actually seen the old Havoc concept look good.
Incorporating the wolf-head in the camouflage goes SO far to conceal all the worst points of that models visage!
Brilliant! I salute you. 

[Giovanni]

first result, before the white ...
