No paint call-outs for the thing that holds the rotors on? I have to assume that these parts ar black... Am I painting #D33 correctly?

EDIT:: I'm painting #D33 in H12... (Click the Thumbnails)

This is where a little research into the real thing helps Searching for CH-47 rotor head very quickly resulted in photos like this:



That disc at the bottom looks like your part D33 to me.

I didn't know what the rotor head was called. Thanks for your help.

It looks like maybe the older Chinooks (1966) didn't have the cone shaped dust screen. (YAY! I didn't want to chape the PE cone anyways!)

Got bored and decided to paint the rotor tips in H329 yellow. I just wanted to tell you guys that if Someone else with a yellow Helicopter displaying a paint job 5 coats thick and explaining that it could take 5 coats with yello, White, Orange... Other paints don't cover well with one coat.... I would have given up with this project if I didn't know that yellow is difficult... Thank you SOOO MUUCH!

This is what I'm painting... (Rotor Tips)
