My efforts for the last few weeks:

AMT/Ertl 1/72 kit built OOB except for the Japanese Roundels (thanks to JPTRR).
Went w/ this so I could try 3 color camo on something small and cheap before I try it on some German AFV's.





90% finished, just have to dull coat and weather.

Camo should have matched this.



Thanks for looking

Neo,
Great looking Apache. Your camo painting looks good, clean lines. The canopy also came out clean as well. My I suggest that before you dull coat wash and weather first. Doing so helps your wash flow into the panel lines, and the blending of your weathering. The cockpit seems to be on the bite side. The Apache cockpit look more like flat black. The two colors I like to use are Tamiya’s XF-69 or Model Masters 4768. The two are black, but there is a hint of gray that all most just matches.

Here are some pics,
