Just curious if anyone had any ideas; I just bought the Italeri 1/72 scale H-53 Super Jolly Green Giant model kit. It only came with the high visibility markings and I wondered if anyone knew where I could obtain some low visibility markings for this bird?
I planned to paint it overall dark or gunship grey and I know there are few markings on these aircraft, but I would still like to have the ones that should go on it. Thanks in advance. Russell

Wolfpak Decals does a few sets for 1/72 MH-53 PaveLows that might work.

Another suggestion Russ is to ask around for some low viz 72 markings that can be found in aircraft kits, they are in many colors for Marine/NAVY. Some modelers may have extras laying around.

I'll look through my stash tommorow and see what I can find. What are you looking for, do you have a photo, do you need black or what shade of gray.

Happy Modeling,
Joe

Hey there guys, thanks for the suggestions. Joe, I'm looking for markings that would work on the gunship grey version of the H-53, Air Force. I believe they are an off grey as well. Thanks again, Russell
