Hey,
I am currently building a uh-1h1 twin huey, and I am at a loss as to what colors to paint the seats. I did a google search, and came up with red on normal hueys, would this carry over to the twin huey? Would the straps be the same color as the seat, or a field drab?

Early Hueys had red seats. By late 60s, the color was changed to a dark green. Some modern ones I have seen have black seat cloth. The seat belts should be a medium gray color with aluminum color buckles and hardware.

Yes As ARTY said. Cloth for late Huey's are either FS34079 or FS34178 with black or gray belt material.
