During the mid-late 70's the color changed from OD Green to a darker shade called US Army Helo Drab, FS#34031. The color is available in Testors Model Master paints, both in their enamel and acrylic lines. Helicopters coming out of rebuild or new from the factory were painted in the new color.
It looks like these ODS-era (Operation Desert Storm, '90-'91, ie. The Gulf War) UH-1Hs, not necessarily in ODS, but from the same time period.
By ODS timeframe, there were'nt a lot of active duty Hueys left. Most were MedEvac, or DustOff birds and many were left in the National Guard. The active Army had pretty much transitioned to all UH-60 Blackhawks.
Also, the cockpit was painted flat black by the late '80s to accomodate Night Vision Goggles (NVGs) to be worn. The whole front interior from just behind the pilots seats should be black. Some had totally blacked out interiors, except for the fabric sound proofing on the ceiling and rear walls, which remained medium gray.
There are no UH-1s being used by the US Army in Iraq now, active nor National Guard.
There are some interesting Hueys in Iraqi service and some state department schemes, along with "civilian" models operated by Blackwater and other "Private Security Contractors" around the country.
Like these.
Iraqi AF UH-1H Huey II
Dept. of State UH-1H Huey II
"Private Security Contractor" (a.k.a. CIA) Hueys are in similar schemes to these below. They are using Bell 212 and 412s too. There are some really nice helos flying around here in Iraq.
