Sea King camouflage


Recommended Posts

You left me speachless!!!

Those two egyptians are really rare birds.. First is Commando Mk 2E, and the second Commando Mk 2B.

Never saw any photos of those two..

You are obviously very well informed about SK's.

Have you any photos of Indian SK's Mk 42 or Mk 42 A?

Thanks once more..

Thanks Ray

Other question for you, off topic about Sea King, what are the colours of Australian Army helicopters? Huey and BlackHawk?

Dean,

The colours used on the Blackhawks and Hueys are:

a. Camouflage Green - Olive Drab Lustreless. (this seams to be an Australian specific colour, See below)

b. Camouflage Brown - US Federal Standard 595a Colors' - Color No. 30219

c. Black - US Federal Standard 595a Colors' - Color No. 37038

The Camouflage Green varies from 34102 on Kiowa and Huey, to 34082 on Blackhawk.

So there you go!

:cheers:

:huh:

great find Dave!

Graet pictures and great timing too, I'm starting to build the Egyptian Navy ASW version.

Can you please clarify/identify the three structures just aft and below the main sliding door? Are they torpedo mounts, and what kind of a torpedo would it be?.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks Dean,

I intend to use Tamiya X4 Blue it seams to be the closest even in sunlight (Yes I did a test patch). As for the lower surfaces Gunze H67 RLM Light blue + alittle white should do the trick.

Bu the way those hook-ups are on both sides. any ideas what they are?

Thanks again,

Hany

I'll get the decals from my spares. the issue is really the arabic numerals which have to be painted by hand. numbers were applied after delivery to both sides roughly where the G-BDML was and then repeated in smaller scall just below each pilot's window (772 and 775 are two of these numbers) I'll try to load the scrapped aircraft pictures (yes they were scrapped and sold to the Australian Navy in 2004, and unlike some believe they retained thier blue colour throughout thier service life with the Egyptian Navy).

Hi,

I'm replying to both Hajo and Demicula,

No I'm not talking about the floatation devices, the ones I'm trying to point to are just below and aft the sliding door towards the tail, they are three small almost quarter of acircle shape and painted the same colour of the aircraft.

Demicula,
