RNZAF Iroquois camo schemes

[dingo]

Hi all,

I've just started a Hobbyboss 1:18 UH-1B and I am in the process of stretching it, among other modifications, so it resembles a D.

I'd like to finish it in a Kiwi camo scheme but the only photos that pop up in Google are of the newer plain Grey.

Can someone point me in the direction of decent photos or plans for the green/brown or green/Grey schemes please?

Any help would be much appreciated

Thanks

IIRC the only real difference between the green/green/tan and green/green/grey was literally the tan was swapped for grey. I painted enough of them back in the mid to late 90's to not need to refer to the drawings when we did touch ups. I don't think I've kept a copy of the drawings though, an email to the RNZAF museum would likely help you out. Ask for DENG 7504.
The colours we used were Dark Green 34079, Light Green 34102, Dark Grey 36081. Cockpit interior was black, cargo area was matt dark gull grey. Floor load spreaders were Dulux Durapave grey.
I have the UniverseJ font if you need it to make decals.

And the gold standard for HD photos:

Thanks, I saw that thread but didn't scroll down far enough

Thanks for the input guys, it's much appreciated and will be very helpful.

Here's a link to the build if you're interested:

It's already over 700mm long!
