Six shades for United States Army helicopters: olive drab, helicopter gray-green, desert sand, sage, black and a warning yellow.
Responsibility details are not available.
Over Vietnam the American army helicopters flew entirely in olive drab. When a finish was sought in the 1970s that would suppress shine and the thermal signature better, it was replaced by a darker flat tone developed directly for rotary-wing machines. That one has lasted to this day, and it was joined by a sand coloring for the Middle East and by a lighter sage shade that appeared on machines flying over vegetation as well as over sandy plains.
What the set is made up of. The six bottles contain army olive drab, helicopter gray-green with its federal standard number, desert sand, a sage tone, black and a warning orange-yellow. The last of those suits training stripes, the marking of rescue panels and small warnings around the engine covers, where a sharp contrast immediately shows that this is a real machine and not a toy.
The recommended procedure. Flat army shades forgive fewer mistakes than glossy ones, so apply them thinly and preferably in several passes. Once they have dried, a gloss intermediate coat comes in useful so that the decals do not go flat, and at the end a flat overcoat, which evens the surface out. Worn edges of doors, the steps and the area around the fueling port are picked out with a lighter tone of the same color, not with silver; on army helicopters it is the base rather than bare metal that shows through.
