salvador001 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The round salvadorean numbers are very difficult to make, the only way to do them is by stencil or maybe someone can design them on photoshop. Rod. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If I'm not wrong the 3 tone with black scheme is only found on the OH, UH-60s and NH The Hueys never had black added. I could be wrong though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Our Black Hawks, Kiowas, Tigers and MRH-90's all have the 3-tone incorporating the black. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hawkwrench Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 You mates have some sweet looking helicopters! Especially that UH-60. Those H-60's are based out of Townsville, aren't they? I had a woman friend who went to our church and she served 2 years with YWAM missions based out of Townsville. They would take their ship over to Papua New Guinea and work with the native people over there. Tim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Tim 5th Avn Regiment in Townsville had Black Hawks yes Tim but they have all since transferred to 6th Avn Regiment in Sydney. The Aussie designation is S-70-A Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewPerren Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 (edited) I would love to do some 70's RAAF schemes. Don't see too many of those. 5 Squadron RAAF Fairbairn 9 Squadron RAAF Bushranger - Amberley RAAF SAR detachment Butterworth Malaysia Or a KIWI RNZAF late scheme.

rotorwash Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 Well since it will be a Vietnam boxing, I'm going to plan to build Vietnam Hueys. One will certainly be from my dad's unit, 190th AHC. Photo from Pat Mullen. Ray Quote Link to post Share on other sites
