Hi,

I'm in the planning phase ahead of building an Academy 1/35 AH-1W Super Cobra (NTS Update) and I was hoping someone would be able to let me know the correct FS colour to use and possible matches from Tamiya, LifeColor or Vallejo Air. Off to Telford this weekend and want to see if I can pick up the paints there.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
Ian

Right, I think I may have answered my own question!

After checking the instruction sheet over at Hobby Search it looks like I need FS 36375 and FS 35237. LifeColor carry both of these:

UA026 - Light Compass Ghost Grey (22ml) FS 36375
UA145 - French Bluegrey (22ml) FS 35237

Cheers,
Ian
