                        Ok, now that I've seen the 1-151 Apaches I'm DYING to start this build! Check out the helo forum for pics of one of the grey apaches!

                        I believe its in a light/dark ghost gray scheme, but I'm gonna have to double check the FS numbers.

                        D'OH!!!! I was just there right before Halloween! I didn't make it out to the Intrepid, but I could see the Concord from the Empire State Building. Man, had I known you were there, I'd have dropped you a line to go grab some beers!

                        Oh yeah, next time you're in Midtown, keep an eye on the Fire Engines. One of the "Pride of Midtown" trucks has a big VFA-115 sticker on the side.

                        When I get back to Texas on the 10th, I'll get the two rolls of film I have waiting, developed. I've got at least 3 shots of an MH-68 that was patrolling NY Harbor last fall. I happened to be on the USS Intrepid at the time, photographing their AH-1J, but I managed to snap a few shots of the Stingray that happened to be circling the museum. I'll post em as soon as I get back.

                        Cobra: Very awesome! After I get this one done, I have my next two projects planned. (Unless I change my mind.Approve [^]) I was able to pick up a couple of resin conversion kits for USCG Jayhawk and HH-3 copters from a guy "Downunder" off the 'Bay. I probably overpaid, but, they come with the parts, decals and colorguides/layout. I like doing research, but, sometimes, nice to have everything in one bag.

                        Your trip to the Intrepid sounds like fun. I'd like to go there and go back to the Naval Air Museum and USAF Museums. Very cool places.

                        I look fwd to your book. I'm snooping around now for a good 1/72 Apache to add my collection of kits to build. That way, I'll be ready for the next Apache GB! Big Smile [:D]

                        I'm frustrated as anything, since my Apaches are back in Texas and I can't build anything on this perfect modeling day! But, I am working hard on the Apaches book right now and should have it done by 1 January, so I can concentrate on the build after that.

                        Anyone care to take a stab at making a badge out of the MH68 below? Is it possible to make it a bit smaller, too? Thanks!

                        The 'pit for the Comanche is black. Seats, floor, consoles, instrument panels, walls, all black. Helps with NVG compatibility. One thing Italeri is renowned for is their inaccurate paint info. Look at what call for for the overall fuselage color- FS34087, plain 'ol Olive Drab!?!?! Confused [%-)]

                        Anyone know what the colour of the cockpit "tub" for the RAH-66 is? I've only seen pics of the hud, controls etc.

                        Italeri reckons its light ghost grey for the tub and the interior walls. However in my brief modelling career I've noticed that Italeri often get the colours wrong.
