                        Hey Supercobra! Awesome DS photos! Where were you when I needed these pics? LOL. The dio that I'm doing will not have a weapons trailer. I have the TOWs being carried by Ordies to the chopper. And yep, I have the Kirin pilots and ground crew Marines with the TOWs.
                        Thanks for the photos.

                        Hey - you stole my idea! I've been considering doing this exact thing for a long time but haven't got around to it yet. I was going to have the HMMWV pull an ordnace trailer. I take it you have the Kirin pilot and ground crew set?

                        Here is a picture how most DS farps were marked:


                        And some trailers:




                        and hate to even mention it because you did such a good job on your weathering and painting, but here is your aircraft #126 - it was sand and brown in DS:

                        That's a nice looking snake you've got there. Can't wait to see the dio.

                        looks great! the weathering is right on! I was deployed with two different MEU's in the 80's and early 90's and got to see a lot of these beauties, and you weathered it realistic!

                        Chris,
                        Attractive paint scheme. I've always liked the three-tone late 80's scheme that was used on USMC rotary-wing aircraft.

                        Your Snake looks good. The weathering is noticable, but not over-powering. Thanks for sharing pics of your build. Thumbs Up [tup]

                        Cheers,

                        "I know what it wants now...the void has swallowed the light and the machine wants my soul"

                        Hi gang. Just wanted to share some photos of my completed Academy AH-1W. I used the Eduard interior and exterior sets to spruce it up a bit. Tamiya paints for the finish and an oil wash. Dust was added using pastel chalks. This cobra is going to be part of a Desert Storm diorama depicting it being rearmed by ground crew, with an M49 fuel tanker waiting to fuel it up. There will be a HMMV standing guard as well. Enjoy the view and thanks for taking a peek.
