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.
Based on the hc2_winch model.
Much thanks
Mark

The Colour is a bit tricky to get right! ive looked at a fair amount of images and most are different shades, Different Cameras, different lighting etc, ive also asked someone whos been in one and they have said its very close..
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!!
