Here are some more pics of a closer to finished Super Jolly Green. I am pretty proud of it, the paint work was quite a job but I practiced and got it. Or at least I think I did. Shes not done yet, but pretty close. Feel free to point out concerns.
Thanks!

Looking good. Not sure about the helmet colours though. They would tend to be green, grey or occasionally white or black. Are you going to add the ammo feed shutes to the ramp mounted .50cal?

The helmets were kind of my own thing. Yeah I still have to add the belts of ammo running from the 50 to the ammo box.

Its pretty cool. As for the helmets, no reason not to personalise your model, it's yours after all. Bright helmets is a fast jet thing usually, us helo types are more tactically minded!!

A good drybrushing/wash on the revit and panel lines will bring that model into its own. Keep up the good work. I'm assuming that is 1/72?

I couldn't tell as I was comparing the size of the model to the size of your finger! :-) Small model, big finger

The dio is going to be the helo hovering over the jungle picking up a downed pilot.

Looks great, personally i like the helmets! it does add that personal toutch, and makes the pilots really stand out, amkes you wonder about the pilots story too, seings they are cool enough to paint there helmets yellow and red when all the other helo pilots are just boring old olive drab! :-) cheers
