After aborting the Italeri AH-1W, my dad tries this one. Not sure yet which scheme
2 attached images. Click to enlarge.
decided to use TwoBobs decals and do a Jordanian scheme, at least that´s the plan for now
some paint for the cockpit
no decals for the instruments but drybrushing does the part
seatbelts are molded on

Great entry and beautiful choice of scheme, Reinhard @grimreaper One of my favorite helicopters. Excellent start on the interior.
Another awesome entry from the Spreitzhofer Werke, my friend @grimreaper! Excellent progress and great looks do far! Excellent scheme chosen, as well!
depending on angle, light and quality of the pics of the real choppers, the color tones always look slightly different used Tamiya XF-59 Desert Yellow
Desert yellow looks great, my friend @grimreaper! You are exactly right regarding color shades.
The applied color looks perfectly fine, Reinhard @grimreaper
Desert tan/yellow looks great, Reinhard (@grimreaper). I saw a bunch of AH-1s in Somalia, and I think the paint on each airframe reacts differently to the sun and weather, resulting in each one having its own distinctive look for its paint. How many models do you have going at once, and where do you put all of them when they are done? Your displays shelves must be really crowded.
@gblair depends on size and my dad´s motivation 😀 usually 3-4 at once we store them in vitrines, cupboards and in the attic
paintjob and some shading done for the other camo colours, used Tamiya XF-64 Red Brown and Field Green FS34097 from the new AK RC line
Great camouflage pattern, Reinhard @grimreaper
Nice looking camo, my friend @grimreaper!
This is one of the brighter camo schemes I have seen, Reinhard @grimreaper, but several of the Middle Eastern countries have similarly bright camo schemes. Looking really good.
"wings" added, gloss coated and started with the decals
