                        Does anyone have three-views or descriptions of the current gray schemes (USMC) on these aircraft??

                        Also the Italeri AH-1W has rectangular recesses beneath the stub wings.  I have the AH-1Z instructions, so I don't know what these are for.  Does anyone know if something fits there, because the pylons mounts are accounted for.

                        USMC helicopters wear FS36375 (Light Compass Gray or Light Ghost Gray) on the sides and underneath and FS35237 (Medium Gray) on the upper surfaces as illustrated in this CH-53 paint guide:


                        Thanks to Andy "AH1Wsnake" for the color guide

                        Looking for this, Grant? Wink [;)]
                        Thanks for citing your reference, anyways. Keep that stuff quiet, people might start to think I'm an expert or something!

                        Thanks Andy! But wait.... you're saying you're not an expert? Did you stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night?

                        Crap. I've got the Italeri "AH-1Z" (I use that designation very loosely for that kit) at home and I forgot to take a look at the parts. I'll look at it this evening.
