How do you know what paint to use on my model

will this work for pilots?

pilots

EDIT:: I think GOd might have done work getting two Helicopter pilots ready for my use so I will use them. Credit Card Here we come.

EDIT::EDIT:: it makes sense that since I'm using a 1966 livery (Paint Job) I should use Vietnam pilots right?

Chinooks were used mainly for casualty evacuations during the Vietnam. Conflict. So yeah, those pilot figures will work. Not much of a Vietnam Conflict expert but I don't know if they used Chinooks with any orange markings on them for evacs. Most of them were Olive Drab to blend in with the jungle surrounding.

Having said this, it got me looking back on your diorama idea to include a M1278 JLTV Heavy Gun Carrier doesn't make sense with a CH46A Chinook. Why? The A version is 1966. The JLTV a is a very modern day 21st century heavy gun carrier - completely wrong version in 1966. Everything is too modern looking back at your post of the promo shots.

Maybe find a correct version heavy gun carrier instead used during the Vietnam Conflict.

Or…

Perhaps some sort of heavy artillery of sorts.



A later modern 21st century version Chinook would make more sense with the JLTV.

The camouflage pattern that I want to present to the military is on the JLTV not the Helicopter. I hope the helicopter doesn't really matter.

LOL! I'm using a Veit Nam Helicopter to carry in the new JLTV Camouflage I created... LOL It started in 2023 or something like that
 
OH wow!!! the vietnam pilots shipped on an Amazon account I didn't know I had. looks like it's Nam Pilots for a Nam helicopter to bring in the New Attitude and JLTV-GP camouflage.
 
Now I'm having to try keeping track of two threads as well as Two Amazon accounts... I was freaking out a little bit ago.

After my anxiety faded away and I realized that the email was only half the problem and now I can remember an other reason why I have 2 Amazon accounts. The old account is for the old prepaid Visa that quit working for some reason and the new account is for the new Prepaid Visa debit card

EDIT:: part of the reason I have a prepaid card is so that I can't overspend. Once the money is gone the money is gone and I don't have overdraft fees.

Screw it!!! I'm all-in for this project but I'm done spending...

(I just spent another $29.00 on paint I didn't realize were in the Chinook helicopter instructions.)

I HOPE that's all I will need to complete this project. If it's not I just throw more money at it... I have spent something like $349.oo already
