http: not https:, so my computer security doesn't allow me to view those images, unless I copy & paste to each link & override the security.

Either of the first two would be good.

Not keen on grey.

Hold that thought....

I've got some CH46 and CH47 profiles knocking around somewhere.  I'll see if I can fish them out and post them here

Okay,  I had some of these knocking about from a while back and some I knocked up in response to the comments above


CH-47 in the original olive and yellow scheme


CH-47 in the later South East Asia wrap around scheme


CH-47 in the Euro 1 scheme


CH-47 in the Antarctic Orange Roughy scheme


CH-47 in NZ Army Air Corps colours


CH-46 in the original olive and yellow scheme

Increasingly like the idea of a RNZAF CH-46.

That CH47+CH53 hybrid looks really great. I'm imagining a mobile surgical response team (MSRT) in a transportable pod.
