rotorwash Posted August 25, 2018 Share Posted August 25, 2018 It has been a LONG time since I was able to post a finished build, but here's my AZ model TAH-1G. I used the Brengun PE set as well as the decals from the Special Hobby kit. I found them to me be much higher quality than the AZ decals. The last photo shows it with the old Monogram kit I built a few years ago. The base is an unpainted 1/48 PSP but I liked the black for contrast. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrittMac Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 C'mon Ray...... I've learned here, through all the posts here, and a little personal experience, that you can paint an Army helo just about any way you want. LOL, there are SO many weird combos of paint, colors, aged paint, crappy looking paint, etc..... Man, I think you could paint a pink helo and you will be a-okay. And I didn't mean the Screaming Mimi (or Screamin' Mimi?). I didn't google fu the show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BrittMac Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 The other funny thing is that I KNEW that you would have a pic like that, and that you would educate us all. Lol, you are a real library all on your own. I didn't mean to play you like that, but, I did mean too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Lol, you are a real library all on your own. I didn't mean to play you like that, but, I did mean too! I must confess I pulled that one off the net. I did know about it though from a post on Facebook a while back. Here's the Youtube video of her taking off. Looks like they are carrying Bambi buckets. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
K5054NZ Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I love the OD/DG combo, she looks great! And come on...you HAVE to do the pink Huey II with bucket now! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rotorwash Posted August 26, 2018 Author Share Posted August 26, 2018 Thanks, Zac, I'll leave the pink Huey to someone with more airbrush talent than me! Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyArty Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 These 2 Cobras look good. I like the colorful trainer. The Fire Scout is cool too. I have thought of doing one as well. Nice job on it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
