What Paints Do I Need For..
Posted by Anonymous on Friday, January 30, 2004 1:05 PM
The Academy 1/35th UH-60L Blackhawk in Desert Storm camo?

And the Academy 1/35th UH-1C Huey Heavy Hog (US ARMY) in Viet Nam camo?

I know it will be in the instructions, but it will be a couple
of weeks before I get them (ordered last night) so am
trying to get a jump on it and have the paint on hand
for when they do arrive.

It would be great if you could provide the FS numbers
so I can try to see if WEM has the Colourcoats equivalents.

Thanks,

James,

The Kit Instructions for the UH-1C "Heavy Hog" calls for the following.

Olive Drab FS34087
Flat Light Gull Gray FS36231
Zinc Chromate FS34151
(Interior Green)
International Orange FS12197
Flat Yellow FS13538

The rest of the colors are fairly standard, Flat White, Flat Black, Flat Red, Green, Silver, Red, Gloss White, Gun Metal(steel), Brass, Clear Green, Leather, Flat Medium Brown.

Clear Left!

Thanks Mel!

That's gives me a great start.

Hopefully someone will have the info for the
UH-60L as well.

Pretty much the same colors as above for the Academy UH-60 plus Model Master US Helo Drab for the exterior. UH-60 was not in a camo color for ODS, and never has been. It is/was overall helo drab.
