Hi Neil

Question #1 : what about Tamiya's XF21 Sky ? (or Humbrol Sky Type S)


Question #2 : a long time time ago, HardCorp Model had released limited edition of OIF dry transfers for Tamiya's AAVP7A1 kit, but they're OOP...Maybe Lawrence Goh at Echelon should tackle this job

Thank's for such a quick reply frenchy.
The XF-21 looks good to me so thanks for that one.
yes i think your right this would be a very nice set for lawrence to produce considering the new hobby boss kits that are now available.

Hi Niel

I am working on the same model. I have the luxury of having Marines in this club along with a good friend who served 16 years with the corp to answer questions about them. here's what I have found. I can't say all of them, but most of the US interiors are painted the light green with either dark green or black floorboards.

I have been saving picture posted here by the club for some time and if you like I will see if I can forward them to you. According to my friend a great deal of the pipes and things in the interior will rust during service and replacement parts might be a seperate color during service.. If you choose to weather it, also there are some parts made of brass that would be green.with oxidation.

Chuck.
