Thanks for the comments guys - very much appreciated.

Rockets

Pic 1 These are the SAP type rockets I stole from my Hasegawa Typhoon Kit. Cleaned up and ready to paint
Pic 2 3 Rear of rocket was painted RAF Dark Green
Pic 4 Head was painted faded olive drab, with dry brushed rust, gunmetal, and black. Tip was painted with a red band and silver tip.
Pic 5 Final touch was a dab of brass on the collar for the Brass ID tag. Some red was dry brushed on the rocket bodies to give a suggestion of the circular stencil markings.

End of update

Beaut work once again Peter, and the RP's look the biz (they're HE or HEAP, btw, the SAP were the javelin-shaped ones.) If you're going to add the 'pig tails' and need close-up shots of how they connect, let me know, I've got a couple of good ref pics.
