I do think I might have to get another chopper though one that is a bit more utilitarian.

This is something I've thought about as well, just need to see if it's a good fit size wise.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11616664689882136444noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-26158622023017565032016-02-03T13:56:13.629+00:002016-02-03T13:56:13.629+00:00Now that is going to be seriously good fun and loo...Now that is going to be seriously good fun and looking forward to seeing it in relation to 28mm miniatures.

This isn't really the right model for a black 'copter and I don't know about civilian colours. I'd go with RAF, navy or air/sea rescue; it'll be simpler if you follow a scheme that is already described in the kit.Colgar6https://www.blogger.com/profile/07636662295301222390noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-64432374168357353372016-02-03T11:41:13.159+00:002016-02-03T11:41:13.159+00:00The decals are too good not to use Bryan, I must a...The decals are too good not to use Bryan, I must admit it's looking like I should paint it up as i remember it, probably would go for the SAR look....Da Gobbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09482323500538272232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8659404329585395747.post-84442819833450060062016-02-03T11:37:43.451+00:002016-02-03T11:37:43.451+00:00Good point Sam, maybe just weather it up a bit to ...Good point Sam, maybe just weather it up a bit to give it a patched up look.
