Gunship grey is the later colour, or dark gull grey

Simon, I believe you are referring to the Sea Hawk and Pave Hawk. I need the color of the Black Hawk.

It depends on which Blackhawk you are building.

US Army UH-60A/L Blackhawks are Helo Drab Green, FS34031. It is darker and grayer then OD Green. It is available in both acrylic and enamel in the Testors Model Master line.

US Army MH-60L/K model Blackhawks, as used by 160th SOAR (Spec Ops Aviation Regiment), are painted flat black with OD markings.

For a USAF MH/HH-60G Pavehawk, you are correct. Their latest models are in overall Gunship Gray.

USN Seahawks are currently a two-tone dark gray over light gray.
