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.
