Kelly Quirk Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Man that is just cool. Thanks for sharing Chris! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChernayaAkula Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That looks cool! :wacko: But this one's also just a one-off, isn't it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 (edited) Judging buy the amount of work it must have taken to paint that thing, & that the other Cobra that was there from the same unit was just plain grey, probably so.

Julien (UK) Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Man thats cool. Whos going to be the first to mask and paint that! Julien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phantomologist Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Man thats cool.Whos going to be the first to mask and paint that! Julien The funny part is, when the Cobra arrived it was not that noticable. I have gotten accustomed to the grey schemes being dirty, and touched up. That is just the sign of a well used Cobra/Apache, nothing bad intended by that. It was only later on when I walked over to it that I realized it was in the digital scheme. I am going to forward Don at Primeportal some markings walkaround shots this week as I hope someone will build a model of her. Looks cool and is different. Makes me itch to get to Cali and see the Hornet. bill Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Su-34 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Why? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted October 28, 2007 Author Share Posted October 28, 2007 If I remember correctly, there is an F-18 or two painted in this digital camo scheme. Ish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DPD1 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Nice... I'm kid of surprised they didn't try this sooner. The F-18 has been a good PR plane. Dave www.TheNorthSpin.com Dedicated to Aircraft Flight Test for the Aviation Enthusiast Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Why? It references the MARPAT uniforms the USMC wears. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 You won't need to mask it when I'm finished with the decal art work. I've been doing small sections at a time, along with the digital F/A-18C from VMFA-314.Both aircraft will be on the same sheet. Dave Flying Leathernecks Decals Awesome!

PlasticWeapons Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 Whoa! Tetris gone bad! Wow, if Dave makes these as decals I won't know which is worse? Putting on stencil markings decals or this new camouflage? Pretty interesting though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Josh1971 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 I'm not so hot on all the digital camo. Seems like a fad. jb Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phantomologist Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 Thanks to Don at Primeportal there are more shots than you can shake a stick at online of this AH-1W First Page of Images Quote Link to post Share on other sites
torchf4 Posted December 6, 2007 Share Posted December 6, 2007 Here is an arrival shot to add to Chris's great photos. Is that a fuel tank on the pylon or just a 7 shot rocket pod with the covers on??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heretic Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I have Seen that cobra at Pendleton before i got out. The even got a throw back scheme of green black and gray. Old School. I have been wanting to get pictures of that cobra for a while but when you enter the airfield theres signs posted saying NO PHOTOS. But now i can work on this cobra. Im still trying to figure out how to pull it off. I have one idea. I seen in Shotgun news a kit to paint guns with the marpat scheme. The only thing is would it right in scale. Its a cool looking piece of gear. Duracoat.com is the company. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigger Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 They've still got a gray/green/black Cobra flying? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ChernayaAkula Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) That's one dirty tailboom! Reminds me a bit of the Hinds where they would paint schemes and slogans on the tailboom by cleaning only certain areas. :huh: Edited December 12, 2007 by ChernayaAkula Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spotter Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 (edited) Can someone help me out with the number of this one? Is 165855 correct? Edited December 12, 2007 by Spotter Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heretic Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 right on dave! i am with you on that one. I almost forgot, that scheme is missing the eagle globes and anchors like the real marpat pattern. just thought i would throw that in there. :D Quote Link to post Share on other sites
