What color will you paint your PH 222?
I'm debating what color I should paint my 222. I've seen a few of different paint Schemes Dak Yellow, dark Grey, and Squiggly Brown Line Camo. If there was ever a Tri-Color paint scheme, I may go with that, but I have not found a refference.

Well I was supposed to send some 1/35 Tamiya decals to Jackson so he could make some larger ones in 1/18 scale. But I never did.grunt1 wrote:I'm going for some sort of camo, but would love to have additional 222's so that I would have one in Gray and DAK as well.
What are you guys doing for decals?
I have lost his address AGAIN and am waiting for a response so I can do just that.
They are simple decals for the licesnse plate crosses and some DAK trees.
Not sure on the price yet.
My kit is basicly a large Tamiya kit.

Your's is almost ready to go. I have the M-10 ready and just need to gather the pieces for the 222 then get them out.grunt1 wrote:I don't think you've shipped mine yet since I was late to the party?
Fritz said he got his already.
He has since opened his up and said that looking at all of the piece he was some what intimedated. But once after laying them out it was not so bad.
Everything should fit with no problem. I made location tabs for everything so all the parts should fit.
I would say the only tricky part will be glueing the hulls together . With a little sanding and dry fitting the could be tackeled with ease.
The gun platform . There are nine pieces.
1. Mg 34
2. 20 mm canonon
3. Mag
4. Brass discharge chute
5. Scope
6. Gun platform plate
7. Gun platform base
8. Two pivot pins.
I cliped little plastic rods as pivot pins. The are loose. Dress them up and glue only on the inside of the arm. Be careful you do not get glue on the outside. The gun will not raise or lower.At first I used tiny screws and nuts but was unhappy how they worked. To loose and the gun would not stay in place. When you tighted them the gun would not move at all. There was no in between. So I used the pin idea.
The pic does not show the production piece. There is a block in front of it that will glue the whole thing into/onto the turret ring.
All you guys who have orderd the 222 I will be happy to give out my phone to answer questions.
Just PM me.

222
Pickel, My kit arrived yesterday afternoon!
All I can say is wow, the quality and detail of the this kit is fantastic. I can truly see the time its taken you to produce it. If all goes well, I'll be starting on it this weekend. I hope you sell a ton of them.

I found 1 sheet of decals for 3.00 each at Go Stuff to Go:grunt1 wrote:Monkey Depot bought the old John's stuff decals and printing equipment. They only have everything in 1/6th so I'm trying to work out a deal with them to get them in 1/18th. There are several interesting sets, several of which would work well on the 222 for both DAK, Gray and Camo.
