Standard Chinook blade colour

[Hajo L.]

Does Boeing has a standard blade colour (no codes necessary, a simple "black" or "grey" or what ever is enough) for the Chinooks? I´m wondering if any Chinook has black blades or if the HH-47 CSAR-version I´m working on may have grey blades like it´s counterpart, the Pave Low.

Hey bud,

Glad to see your bird is coming along. I would say a quicky shot of aluminum or gun metal grey than a standard flat black.

Flat black. Chip up the leading edges to duplicate wind and sand errossion using silver to expose the titanium caps (if I recall correctly) under the black. They do fade pretty quickly so maybe a drop or two of light grey or just use aircraft interior black which has a grey hugh to it. I would guess that the new CSAR would also have flat black blades since all would be manufactured in the same factory and would be interchangable across both services. Hope this helps.
