Thanks Glen, I have found several numbers such as FS35164, 35190 and 35189. I know these are all close but if we are mixing paint we might as well mix the proper stuff. I also have only found one picture of the MK 19 with invasion stripes wrapped around the wings. Anybody have any web sites with a good picture to look at that shows a MK 19 with the stripes wrapped around top and bottom. A good friend of mine thinks this is a good scheme and I think he is right. Thanks STEVE
