clarification of painting

[jonwinn]

The Humbrol paint came in, it's not what they show in their on line images, I need to find the correct shade, this aint it. It looks more like an olive green not like the olive drab in the first image.  jon

I used Revell Nato-Oliv 46 (Acryl) for my Cobras.

Don´t know if you like that better as colour?

It's a lot better than Humbrol's olive green. I wanted a color similar to whats on the box art of this kit, more drab than green but seeing as though I don't use an airbrush I can not mix a custom color. So I will settle for "close counts" as a color. Thanks. jon

I used Mr Hobby H304 FS34087 for my Cobra.

That H304 is what I want. jon

That´s a cool colour tone! I´d add some drops of sand to NATO olive if the original tone does not properly fit.

I don't do air brush so can't mix n match here. Here is my rattle can choice, Tamiya TS-5. It has some drab but not exactly what I wanted. At least it is not that green color I bought.  I have seen that color in the picture above and think it was called khaki? jon

Looking good, now to paint stabilizers and add the rotors, weapons, skids and decals. jon
