British Army Westland Whirlwind
Posted by Sandman on Thursday, September 19, 2013 8:05 AM

Hi all,

I am building a 1/48 Westland Whirlwind. My grandfather flew them from the HMS Ocean in the Suez crisis. I want to get the paint scheme correct. Can anyone tell me the correct British Army helicopter olive green and earth brown model paint numbers. I am only have basic modelling skills but am putting in a lot of time to try and make this model as accurate as possible. I have a great black and white photo of him standing in front of his machine. I would like to get the paint shades as close as possible to the genuine colour. Any assistance appreciated.

Many thanks.
