Can't help with cockpit photos, but I can with the paint info. Smile [:)]

According to Squadron's 'UH-1 Huey Gunships Walk Around' book, USMC UH-1E's were finished in overall Field Green, FS34097.  The Testors/Model Master stock # for FS34079 is 1116, while the Tamiya match is XF-58.

HTH,

Vietnam Huey color question
Posted by Heloguy on Monday, May 22, 2006 2:07 PM

I'm building a UH-1E Marine Huey based on HML-167 at MMAF circa 1970.  Does anyone know the Testors or Tamiya green color of those aircraft?  Also, does anyone have cockpit photos of that era as well?  Thanks, I want to make it as accurate as possible.
