Thankyou for the offer, i will let the group know. The tac plate was on the wrong side for IF16 as i didnt have the stand off bracket made yet and also needed to paint up another skippy 1ATF plate. Ill swap the rears over thanks. The fold up camp chairs were often seen around Nui Dat , purchased in Saigon or Vungas on R&R most likely. This one may be a little too modern design though. We got to get some great pics at wings over illawarra with the uh1s you speak off. Shame being x us army vietnam vet hellis they are not restored in true colors. I could still see the OD paint under chips.
Paint colour is a difficult issue, attempting to get the correct 1960s US Olive Drab for an aircraft in the 2010s is awkward, you had the same trouble when you painted your SIIA in Protec Camouflage Green when the correct colour would have been Wattle Olive Drab, which unfortunately is no longer produced in commercial batches.
As for the chairs, the Army did have a similar chair, usually in deep bronze green with a canvas cover corded together, similar to the one in the pic but without the spring tensioner. These were nicknamed Chairs Millionaires. The rest of the presentation was good and my chair comment an attempt at humour.
