Whiskey Tango Foxtrot indeed!

http://www.ojitoys.com/Historic_Military_s/48.htm Best accessories there are, and you could give your guy a 98k. ;)

Yeah, using what you have is part of the fun. Still, those Dragon belts are a seperate piece that come right off, no fuss. :D

It looks the part well enough. The load bearing gear is pretty far off, but unless you're gonna take a set of Dragon gear and scratch build the y-straps what can you do? I dunno how prevalent jackboots were among non-cavalry units. Hell, I like it. It kind of makes me want to do a zombie...

A lot of the Nazi high command saw action in WWI, and the Wehrmacht had it's share of vets. Hermann Göring was an ace for crying out loud.

Die Untoten!

1: Reference materials. Use them. Often. 2: Light coats. I thin my paints considerably, doing multiple coats. 3: Work light-to-dark. Start with your base, most predominate color and work to the darkest.

I think you should be thanking me. ;)

I definitely know more about Dead Hooker-ology than I do military stuff! I ran the antenna wire down the tail boom and it actually looks really good. Kind of surprised. Dunno if I'll shoot pics or wait until I finish the rotor system. This project really came together!

I'm well aware of all this. ;)

Not to my knowledge. I think Hueys used internal aux fuel bladders. Thanks for the vote of confidence, rds. I've got her christened "Dixie 2", no art on the nose. Not sure if I want to do a Confederate battle flag or just leave it as-is. Really can't paint stars at this scale so I'm...

Eh, I'm the one that has to live with it. I like 'em.

Thanky!

This. Light, thin coats.

There was at least one Huey in Vietnam to sport tiger stripes, and I've got to solid OD Hueys and wnat to chang it up a bit.

I'd have to see pics, but I know some clear coats will frost if you go too heavy.

I'm not gonna have the normal tail boom markings. I'm leaving the tail as-is, but I'll do a couple of black stripes into the blue section. It'll look good striped up, but I do believe it needs something extra. The actual tiger striped Huey had a number of yellow stips on the fuselage, may...

In all honesty I don't think it's possible. I think one owuld be better served just starting from scratch to do a Yankee model.

Or JSI could get off their hands and do a new one. Good time to add some new armaments packages.

Yep! Doing the stripes by hand.
