Blackhawk color
Posted by Anonymous on Tuesday, January 6, 2004 4:59 PM
Hi guys. Does anyone one know the black/green color that is used on Blackhawks. I have seen some that look very dark, but am not sure what color they actually are.

The color is a very dark green. The out of the bottle match is Testors Model Master Helo Drab.

Just a note. The testors color is a perfect match, but within 6-8 months after the aircraft is painted it starts to lighten. Most UH-60s in service are a much lighter and Stained green. There is a set of draind just below and aft of the left hand cargo door that usually ends up putting a large stain obn the forward left side of the tail cone. Maybe more info then you wanted but Ive been working on UH-60s for 16 years and just thought that youd want to know that a uhiform "factory" green Blackhawk is a rarity.
