Army National Guard aircraft followed Army reg's except the stae ID would be added above the tail number(ie: CO-NG, AZ-NG) and the addition of the Army Guard emblem on the sides(usually the front doors) and somtimes on the bottom

I have seen, and may have, other pictures of the NG 'Hawks' used for fire fighting. I'll check and get back with you.

Thanks, this gives me a nice start. Any service is fine including USCG, NG etc. I'm going to do a National Guard UH-60 with field applied fire markings at some point as well.

I'm just looking for something different than the standard OD or grey low vis schemes.

I work in emergency services and build a lot of emergency equipment so the SAR stuff fits right in since the history of military and civilian SAR is closely related.

At one time I had thought about building the various helicopters that have been used for rescues in the National Parks but photos are hard to come by. The first helicopter medivac in Yosemite was made by a Hiller 12 (I believe it was civilian owned). The first use of a helicopter for rescue in the Grand Canyon was a US Army H-21 from Ft Huachuca, AZ. The Navy flew many missions into Yosemite from Lemoore NAS (I'll be doing one of their UH-1N's with the Fireball decal set).

not sure if you're just looking for Army but here are extracts from the Navy/Marine manuals for the H-3 and H-46 SAR markings.

SH-3G (manual 01-230HLC-2-2.1):

 

SH-3H (manual 01-230HLE-2-2):

 

HH-46D (A1-H46AE-SRM-200):

[colors are Gloss Engine Grey FS16081 and Gloss International Orange FS12197]

 

here's some pics of Cherry Point's HH-46D:

This manual should help out with most of the types you listed.

Questo è invece il manuale tecnico per colorazione velivoli della US ARMY TM 55-1500-345-23

It is the manual for painting aircraft and includes Hi-Vis schemes.

for Air FOrce aircraft there's always T.O. 1-1-4.  It will also cover cammoflaged aircraft and specific markings such as warnings and national insignia.

Military hi-vis markings reference?
Posted by Aaronw on Friday, October 12, 2007 8:29 PM

Just wondering if anyone knows a good reference source for military high visibility markings, arctic, SAR etc 

I know Fireball just came out with SAR markings for UH-1's and a set of Arctic markings for a Cobra. Newer aircraft like the UH-1 and UH-60 are fairly easy to find, so I'm particularly interested in material for older or unusual aircraft like the H-34, H-21, CH-37 etc.
