It looks like a really nice issue. Is it available in English though? My Spanish isn't that great.

Looks like it is available on the site in English. I have an Academy AH1Z next in the line to build and I am very tempted with that three tone camo version. I think I really need to source a copy of this!

I wouldn't get too wedded to the Land Camouflage Scheme on an AH-1Z. It was never used on the Z as it was replaced by the overall gray Tactical Paint Scheme in the mid '90s. The Land Camouflage Scheme was used on USMC helicopters from '85 to '93.

Thanks Gino. You’ve just saved me a whole lot of heartache trying to replicate the three tone camo. I must say I am quite happy to do the two tone grey for a nice simple scheme after the Berlin brigade disruptive camo on the chieftain I am struggling with just now. Thanks again G!
