CH-46 rotor blades ID stripes query


Recommended Posts

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

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.
