john53 Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 Looking good, I did Spad Dad a few years ago using 1/72 Hobby Craft A-1. This should be interesting, will keep an eye on this one. Liking it!---John Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted October 11, 2015 Share Posted October 11, 2015 Love seeing the a-1 in SEA camo. What's going on in the photo with the pylons? Did you add sway braces from styrene? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 And we have a little medium green. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RKic Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 Did you mix your own paints? I use Tamiya and Vallejo for most camo painting and just cannot seem to dial in the SEA dark and medium greens Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 (edited) No, that's the beauty of the Model Master paints but unfortunately they are cutting a bunch of colors. The Camo Grey for the underside is one that got cut. Some people hate the Model Master stuff but I've been using them since they came out and like them. I always go straight out of the bottle and lighten things afterwards but you could lighten things before to get the scale effect.

Pete Posted February 22, 2016 Share Posted February 22, 2016 That's looking very nice! May I ask where you got the minigun pods from? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Spectre711 Posted February 23, 2016 Author Share Posted February 23, 2016 (edited) Thanks, I picked up a Kitech 1/72 AH-1G Huey Cobra cheap. As far as I can tell it look like a rebox or copy of the Matchbox kit. I wish I could get more of these miniguns! I think the AZ Models kit is also the same mold and looking around the Mistercraft AH-1G has them also. there are a few Mistercraft kits on ebay from Poland that are cheap.
