RAF Odiham / Boeing Chinook HC6 / 7 & 27 Squadrons

Based at RAF Odiham in Hampshire, the first 3 aircraft arrived on the 19th December 2013. They entered service in early 2014 with the start of training activities, The remainder of the Chinooks arrived at the end of 2015" making a total of 14. The Chinooks colour is a mix of green and yellow making it lighter and giving it more of a Desert Tan look.

They look bang on to me! Nice work. The HC6 looks a different colour under the sun - flicking between this pic and that screenshot I'd say they're great! https://www.flickr.com/photos/54184803@N05/24192765890/

Ok, i have toned them down quite a bit, they are still considerably lighter than the HC4, i do think my original ones had far too much Yellow in after re-evaluating them over and over again! lol , but i guess the colour could still be wrong!!

That's better. Looks more like the ones I see at EGHH on their way to local RM camp.
