OF-9?

I like.

That appears to be one of the options for the TF-9/F9FT out of the box. Markings are provided for a USMC TF-9J (BuNo 147384) of Headquarters and Maintenance Squadron THIRTEEN (H&MS-13) Tail code YU/2 that flew FAC missions in Vietnam.

So much for an original idea....
And you can tell I've not been on that website for the past couple months. 
 

What I had in mind, however, was overall Bell Helicopter Olive Drab with some red on various flying surface tips with a big, black TEST on the airframe somewhere.

Something along the lines of the Fiat G.91 or Northrop N-156F the US Army tested in 1961?

Yep.

It's a bit achronic, but I could see a Hawker Kestrel in similar markings as a (pre-consolidation) VZ-12A, and (post-consolidation) as a XAV-6A "Kestrel" and followed by an AV-6B "Harrier".
