Tiger Tech Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 G'day all I dragged out my Academy CH-46 recently to look at finally getting it finished. I have a question for those who might know about these things... Academy provide 4 different coloured decal stripes for the blade roots & the PCR's - which of these colour stripes are actually fitted to the front & rear? Academy's instructions aren't too clear here. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tank Posted September 6, 2022 Share Posted September 6, 2022 (edited) Looking at a number of rotor head photos this morning the only color I haven’t seen is blue. It might have been faded/covered oil etc. Honestly many won’t know or probably catch as long the colors match on blade and head you should be good to go.

Tiger Tech Posted September 6, 2022 Author Share Posted September 6, 2022 Thanks Tank. I'm pretty happy to run with that bit of info. My search wasn't finding anything conclusive - could've been what I was typing into Google. Being a techo on military helicopters, albeit a boffin, I like to get the small things right.
