Andre,

I got them through NC State where I work. I think most libraries could get them. I forget which libraries they came from. You can look them up I think in https://www.worldcat.org/.

Long-time Eagle Squadron member Woody Griffin recently passed away. Our condolences to Judy and to all of Woody's family and friends. He was an avid modeler of 1/48 prop aircraft. Eagle Squadron's Most Improved Modeler award is dedicated to Woody because of the great strides he made in his own modeling skills over the years.

Rest in Peace, Woody.

Based on information from a Mike who gave me the kit at the fall contest (comes with two drones, gave one away to Rob) this is a bird from F Co, 160th SOAR.





To paint a black 160th bird the mix I have seen that looks best is Model Master Helo Drab and Interior Black mixed 1:1. I didn't have that on hand so I went with Tamiya XF-51 Khaki Drab, XF-85 Dark Rubber and XF-1 Black in a 6/4/3 ratio. I first primed with Tamiya fine white has I thought about using Vallejo paints instead. The wash is MIG pigment mix of 4 colors, adding a little bit of pigment to water mix. I slopped it on, dried it the airbrush and then removed mostly of the mix with a q-tip and an old stiff brush. Went a little fair as I rubbed the paint off the front left. It will look fine in the back of the display case/area that no one else looks at.
