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....!!!! :cheers:
How about a USN one? Or would that be considered heresy? :wacko: 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 :cheers:
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!
-Mike
Maybe you could make one Russian :wacko:
French, Israeli, South African, Swedish, Nigerian, Argentine.
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.......
BOAR berlin brigade block!. how is your sanity and eyesight!

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.
:cheers:
Steel P.... :bow:.....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.......
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,
