Hai,
I read that recent black hawks are painted in "gunship grey" (FS 36118) instead of green helo drab (FS 34031)
Does anyone know if the MH-60G is also painted in gunship grey?
and, if yes, any pictures (so that I can see the numbers and other decals)

You are mixing up types.
US Army UH-60L Blackhawks are still painted Helo Drab Green.
USAF MH/HH-60G Pavehawks are currently painted a color known as AFSOC Grey. Gunship Grey is close and they look like below. The markings and numbers are all flat black.
A full walkaround can be found here, at Prime Portal.

Gino,
Is there anything on black hawks and choppers in general that you don't know?
Thanks a million.

I don't know about knowing everything about them, but I do try to learn all I can. I just like helos and building them. Getting to fly in them is a perk of the job that I like too.
