How do you know what paint to use on my model

Now that I have viewed that video I can see that the blades come straight out from the hub and simply turning them up side down will probably just look goofy. One of these days I will ask my caregiver if she is okay with me boiling Helicopter parts.

I read that the blades were 19 inches apart vertically so the blades never touch. How do I measure 19 inches apart on a Scale model? Is it difficult to measure?
 
WOW! I understood it the third time I read it!!! Thanks a lot!. LOL! HOw do you get 36/64? I understand THe Metric... Do you just google a conversion from Millimeter to inches?
 
Thanks urrmomo YOU have been a great help! I understand Millimeters way easier than inches. I can visualize 13mm; it's just 1 centimeter plus 3 millimeter. I can't visualize 36/64... YIKES! 36/64? isn't that improper because both numbers can be divided by 2?

EDIT:: I messed up my post earlier... urumomo said 35/64 and I messed up and said 36/64. I looked at previous posts and saw my error.

YAY!!! I figured it out! Check out the picture and Follow the red pen line. I realized that there was a line to follow that I highlighted in red. If you look really closely you can see that the stick that holds the pedals goes underneath the floor.

IT looks like there's a ton of different chinook colors inside and out. Some faded some washed out, Why don't they put fresh paint on these things?
 
Finally found a video with the rudder pedals showing through the canopy where you can see how they go. Now all I need to worry about is getting things right side up. LOL

I wrote Trumpeter about them making a set of rotors that would look like the Chinook was in flight. Trumpeter just wrote me back right away!>

Ah... yes... I see what you mean. Yes those are tiny brushes used for glue applications and what not.

Have you painted a model before? If not, it would be good to get a basic set of paint brushes for models. I don't know what sort of thing you have in the US, but most model paint companies make their own.

As an example - I'm not suggesting you buy these, just something similar - these are the brushes made by Humbrol here in the UK. Personally, for the Chinook, I'd start with a pack of flat brushes and a pack of detail ones and see how you get on.

Humbrol Brushes.

Cheers!

About GLue... you sid that the brushes I bought would be good for glue? How do you clean a brush you just used to apply glue?

depends on the " glue "
solvent cement used for welding plastic , like Tamiya Extra Thin , will evaporate on it's own , but the brush may pick up dissolves styrene solids thru use so either more of the same solvent or just acetone will remove it .
