                        Suffer a new post from me, as a first time helo modeler, please. Or not.

                        I'm building the Academy CH-46A USMC Viet Nam which is the first helo I've done in probably 40 years.

                        It seems to be Olive Drab, and I've done enough research to feel that I'm entitled to ask you experts:

                        Which do you prefer: Humbrol, Tamiya, others?

                        For a Vietnam era USMC CH-46A, the correct color is USMC Green.  It is a little brighter than OD.  Testors model master  has it, also Model Master Medium Green, FS 34102, is pretty close to it.

                         

                        For Vietnam OD, I prefer Testors Model Master as well though.

                        Thanks Gino. Is there a MM # or do I just look for USMC Green?

                        Testors calls it Marine Corps Green, FS# 34052.
