I don't have any pictures myself, but the one's I've seen in mag's come in US ARmy colors with Columbian marking, most if not all were supplied under MAP(Military Assistance Program's) for anti-drug and anti-rebel activities

Nice color photo of Columbian UH-1H in an aviation publication circa 1984. Due to TOS
considerations and copyright issues, I'll do the best to describe it to you. I may be able to scan it and e-mail the pic.
Columbian UH-1H; basic finish drab dark OD (looks like US Army Dark OD, definitely not helodrab). Markings on pilot access doors in yellow "FAC" (caps) and below that in yellow "236A" same size as "FAC". Marking fills area in front of window post.
Colombian national marking in full color on tail boom approximately 12" aft of fuselage join. "Fuerza Aerea Colombiana" in yellow caps 6" on boom. Size is an estimate as these markings appear to be 1/2 the size of standard "United States Army" marking.
Yellow band approximately same width as chord of stabilizer located just forward of 45 degree gear box. Red warning arrow with no script on yellow band.
"236"{ in yellow just forward of fiberglass "tailcone".
Fin colors top to bottom; Yellow , blue, red in following proportions; 50%, 20%, 30%.
Tail rotor has no tip warning markings!!! Looks like very thin anti abrasion leading edge in "silver"?
No squadron insignia or obvious stencil marks (ie. no red fuel filler markings or step strips).
Don't mean nothin'

Here's a Colombian Blackhawk...courtesy of Aztec hobbies which also sells what seems to be a nice decal sheet.

When you get to the main page click on orders then go to US and Latin Blackhawks.
Finally click on Colombian blackhawks and you'll have your pic.

Take care,
