But the cobras all seem to be the 2 one grey lo vis camo. only very rarely have i found pics of it in 3 tone.

Every Cobra I saw up-close was painted gray. They belonged to HMM-163 and HMM-166, who were embarked with my ship (USS Peleliu) during her 2003-2004 and 2006 deployments. I'm not sure land-based Marine helicopter units would have used camo paint schemes. If you like the camo, then by all means, paint it camo.

And keep up the good work on it. Building a 1:72 Italeri kit is tangible proof that you're far more patient and tolerant than I!

In progress: Hasegawa P-51D/K (being built as a D), Tamiya Morris Mini Cooper 1275S, Testors Kaman H-43B Huskie (held up by lack of parts)

To be resumed sooner or later: Academy M151A2 with Eduard photo-etch

lol, thanks for the support guys. ill finish up my mosquito tonight and then get back into this. the kit shows it with green, brown and black camouflage which im thinking of doing.

But the cobras all seem to be the 2 one grey lo vis camo. only very rarely have i found pics of it in 3 tone like this. Any pointer for paint schemes? or ideas?

Great patience must the Italeri modeller have , for his sanity to test they try .

 Faith comes to those who allow The Force to guide them to completion . Cool

It is looking good. Fit always seems to be an issue with Itileri kits! The same goes with interior detail. Good luck. Look foward to wathcing this WIP.

Hey guys, first Helo build. I origonally got this model as part of a project for school. I measured it up and animated it. it was cool, Then i decided to build the model. So far theres some major fit issues with the chin area, otherwise its a nice model. not alot of detail in the cockpit but fairly easy.

Heres some photos
