                        HH-43 Exhaust
                        Posted by grandadjohn on Monday, January 30, 2006 8:47 AM

                        Anybody have ideas on how to paint that "burnt metal" look on the exhaust from a HH-43?

                        Thanks in advance.

                        Not sure what you are needing, don't have a picture of the H-43's exhaust can to look at.  I did some "burnt" metal on the aft section of my F-100 using some browns mixed with gold and blue mixed with silver.  I'll E-mail you a picture of the F-100.

                        Look into Testor's line of Metalizers.
                        They have a burnt metal and burnt iron which are really neat and can be applied with a brush.

                        The Pedro's exhaust tube used to remind me of the rear of the F-100's fuselage.  Theexhaust reaches about 900 degrees by the time it comes out the tube.  We were warned about it during our first pre-flight safety briefing.

                        I use Model Master "Jet Exhaust" and then VERY lightly airbrush or dry brush the end of the exhaust with a 1:1 mix of MM "Rust" and "Light Tan".

                        I will go wholeheartedly on this one. Either the jet exhaust (way too gold, tho, should be a darker color similiar to titanium, add some blue to the mix) and overcoat on the end lightly and around the rolled bits.

                        Thanks for sharing the pictures.   The Marine version looks to be the early one with the radial engine in the aft cargo, then engine compartment.  I didn't know they made them until a buddy sent me a picture of one.  I also noicted you can see the different colors of gray on the UH-1C pylon area.  Someone had asked about that in another thread.

                        I have a picture of one of those early Marine ones in Army makings, they borrowed it for evaluation.

                        Vaguely remeber that thread about the pylon area
