Excellent Thanks Mark!
Should arrive just in time for me to finish everything up. Only lack that crane and the fine line to arrive for the rigging.
While i've been waiting...

I did some research on ye old internets and found that the actual color used by the Argentina Navy is an exact match for Model Master "Gunship Grey". I picked up a rattle can of that at the local hobby store and it looks like a perfect match. Only thing is now to try to figure out if i'm going to do the plane in a gloss or flat finish. My original instinct was to go flat but on the videos i've seen they're actually a pretty shiny gloss so I think that's the way I might go. But as the two wings here are the only parts that i've actually gotten done i've got a long way to go. lol even if it is just a 1/72 scale. But I am really happy at the paint match. After they've had another day or so to dry i'll finish up the landing gear compartments.
