I need some color info. I would like to know what color the rigging was that helped anchor the radar mast? the three wires? Also I have the Kirin OOP plastic boat base. I was wondering what colors I could use for the Vietnam river...I use model master paints...I am thinking a brown muddy type to contrast with the OD of the boat?..thanks for the help folks!

Here's a web site that will help you with your build. Has great pics of the things your wondering. Also there are shots of the mast without the rigging, only the center brace.

I did a brown water PBR dio one, I used Tamiyas paints. NATO Brown, Buff, and a touch (drop) of Med. Green. Again you'll have to play with the mixing till you get the color your after. Hope this helps some
