Thats a real shame that you have to give it up.  It is really looking nice.  I liked the darker OD green on it too

I was getting partial to the Dark OD too.  Oh well though I guess thats how the cookie crumbles.  Thanks for the reply.

Ever consider doing "Sky Bouncer" that is the third plane in the photo you posted?

The "A" would mirror on the fuselage fine.    You could still do that OD camo.

"Ferocious Frankie" is coded B7-H.  That would mirror too and it has the OD camo.

The restored "Frankie" flying in England has the full yellow swept back nose markings too.

And the B model in the photo above also is EN-H, another that would mirror should you go after a B model for the 361st FG.

I really think that mix of natural metal and the Dark OD would look great on an AH 51.

Well I could do Sky Bouncer off the current skin fairly easy.  The bird with the H designation looks like maybe Stefy-G in this photo? I'll see what I can find though.  Ferocious Frankie can't be done because of the name and placement either.

Cobra,

Be sure to keep this one for the new skins.  I think the nose is Insignia Yellow.  The photo you saw earlier is from a color film that you can catch on Wings every once in a while, but I don't remember which episode.

I'm looking forward to Gunfighter, too.

Thanks for the reply Glen.  I do plan on finishing The Gunfighter.  I had to take a break from it for a few.  I'm not too happy with how the main color was coming along.  I'm trying to find that dark grass green color that seems to be used on it.
