Thanks for looking and the pats on the back!

Looks real good! What color did you use for the base color?

Hey stik, to answer your question, I used MM Field Green (FS34097). I pre-painted some panels with various greens and browns before spraying the final color. Then I went back with various thinned greens and yellows before weathering with pastels.

Hope this answers your question.

Thanks for looking FSM!

Cheers,

The technique worked well. It looks like your Sea Horse has been baked by the Vietnam sun.

Looks like an old Sikorsky I built around 1950, on of my first kits. Mine was yellow with Coast Guard markings. It may well have been a Revell kit, can't remember.

Gimme a pigfoot, and a bottle of beer...

Nice build, particularly the restrained weathering.

I've always had a soft spot for Sikorsky's "Flying Baseball Bat."

That's a good-looking helicopter.

Amongst many other things, I like your subtle weathering.

Nice job! Yes Yes Yes

Revell 1/48 CH-34D

This is Revell's 1/48 UH-34D built it to represent a machine from HMM-361. I don't know if this BuNo served in this squadron or if YN32 even existed, but I used the markings I had on hand. The squadron code on the nose was masked and painted. The stripes on the yellow decking were found in the spares drawer. Some seatbelts were made out of tape. Everything else was in the box. Some fiddly parts with vague or poor attachment points were left off. The rest was painted with MM enamels, and weathered with pastels and Flory's washes.
