Back to 'nam
I can’t paint helicopters for ‘nam without thinking of the Ride of the Valkyries from Apocalypse Now.
I cracked on with painting the Cobra, 2 Hogs and a Slick last night. A washing of AP Military Shader darked down with AP Army Green spray paint that I had used to start with. I then went in to paint the windows in a sky blue, that I had to mix up from some blue and grey. A little bit of P3 Traitor Green to give the reflection of the jungle in the windows finished those off. The top windows were painted in Vallejo Sick Green. The fronts and weapons were painted in Vallejo German Grey, although it has ended up rather shinier than I would like. Now to add weathering and decals.
