How do you know what paint to use on my model

[BlackSheepTwoOneFour]

Okay... I bought the olive drab faded at https://www.scalehobbyist.com/ I also bought flat black and yellow for the rotor tips and stripes. What do I do with the interior cockpit? where did you get the instruction manual? When I was a child I never even looked at the instructions but I got hit in the head multiple times and lost some of my brain power. I'm disabled now and can't understand simple instructions anymore. It's embarrassing! So I just decided to pick the paint by the color square thing. I need the instructions so I can start learning the Helicopter. Where did you get the painting instructions?

I can no longer fully function. I forgot to get the orange and had to make another order. I need brushes now is there a kit of some kind for lacquer brushes? Can I use the same brushes for acrylic and lacquer? How do I clean brushes for each paint?

YOU GUYS ARE COOL! I'm choosing the 'B' in the instructions. Of course I'm using the most difficult paint scene. LOL!
I Want it to be blatantly ARMY as much as possible.

Thank you for the information. I'm still trying to figure out how to pick the color using the instructions, but I sincerely thank you because I already have like 6 models to paint.

You can get orange paint at Hobby Lobby - Testors little square bottles.

As far as interior colors goes, read this….

However, if you're displaying its rear doors closed, skip on it. You're not gonna see it. Just concentrate on the cockpit color instead.

But he's gonna get the instruction guide in the kit once he receives his order.

Who knows when the kit will arrive and I memorize the instructions because I have to. (I have memory problems and have to be able to remember everything I'm going to do in sequence. I also want to order the correct paint so the paint can show up in a tmiely manner.

No worries, I understand your post. You're still cool.

OH NO!!!! I thought that the ARMY helicopter version had brown on it for the main base color but In the instructions I downloaded from your link it's dark flat green! Olive Drab faded is more brown than green. Hopefully I can use the brown on the JLTV or something. I bought the closest thing I could get on the https://www.scalehobbyist.com/ and it looks like Medium olive green is as close as I can get to the picture I attached.

So I'm going to Walmart and I might get brushes there. I really appreciate all your help. I'm probably not going to paint all the lights and I might just paint the cockpit all back. At least I can understand the instructions well enough to get me started in the cockpit.

OH NO!!! there's no guide for painting the bottom!

EDIT:: It looks like the brown is prefect for the JLTV-GP M1278 tactical truck. God of Israel is Good and doesn't waste things.

You could always choose to use mud for the underside, red-clay if you want a 'Nam deployment.

Thats fine to use Faded Olive Drab. I wouldn't worry about it. Look at the photo of real Chinook chopper.

One Step for shipping giant leaps in understanding!!!!

OH NO!!! RAN OUT OF QUARTERS FOR THE CANDY MACHINE!!!

IT looks like the interior is dark grey... What if I just don't paint the interior... Isn't the model gray to begin with?

Is there a way to straighten the rotors? As you can see in this picture it looks like the rotors are drooping a lot. I want it to look like it is in flight carrying the JLTV.
EDIT:: Maybe flip the rotors over? Anybody tried that yet?
