That was a truly excellent build of this very iconic workhorse, I could be forced to try this smaller scale, my main interest is 1/48th, I have alson subscribed to your channel, best regards from a Kiwi ( New Zealander) living in Australia, Les

Do you have the history of this Chinook? I've also done the HC 1, it's in the Gulf War paint scheme. Also in 1:72. It looks beautiful on my Diarama 🇬🇧

[@NigelSimkin-u3x]

Can I ask what ratio you thinned your paint please & pressure thank you

[@scalemodelling76]

I don't really have set ratio to be honest i just thin until it's how i want it . I would say roughly 80% thinner to paint and I'm running 15 psi . The airbrush I'm using from harder and steenbeck has 0.2 nozzle so i do have to thin alot more than my Sparmax 0.35mm nozzle airbrush . Hope this help a bit .

@@scalemodelling76 Thanks I've also got 2 Harder & Steenbeck ultras & a H&S Infinity, The AK 3RD Gen Black Primer I'm using is really thick normal thinning ratios have gone out the window

What colour did you use for the ‘red’ cargo area seats?

@@scalemodelling76 That’s what I was going to use, but thought it was a slightly darker shade, with weather it to look stained. Thanks.

[@scalemodelling76]

@@jondillon5433 yeah i did put a sepia oil wash all over the seats which toned it down a bit, sorry i should of filmed that bit haha !
