hawkwrench Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Now the Testors MM line is being discontinued, there goes the Helo drab that's been my go to paint for Army helos. Has anyone used the new AK interactive helo drab? If so, is it any good and post pics if you've got them showing the new paint on the helo. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hawkwrench Posted July 24, 2020 Author Share Posted July 24, 2020 Ok. Trying to figure out the best way to paint it without using straight black. I've had some guys say 50/50 NATO black and Helo drab. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
oppenheimerj Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Y don’t know why they add helo drab, all of them are faded black, in some you ser some helo drab color on the wings, but is because those wing were green and then painted black on top, the one in the museum you can see in the pictures the green on some areas, but just the wings Quote Link to post Share on other sites
