William -
Another example of a color freakout!
The darn thing looked a dark charcoal grey when I was standing 2 feet away from it in 1985!
Got out the Polaroids I took - still looks charcoal grey, but the color balance on SX-70 film at that time isn't the best.
Metallic olive, huh? I remember that the finish wasn't black, as it appeared on TV, don't remember it being greenish. Saw Airwolf at the Watsonville,CA airshow in 1985, and remember looking up close at the seams where the fiberglass plant on panels that Andy Probert designed were attached to the fuselage, and the adhesive/sealant that was there.
Oh, well. Would be great it your source could let us know what the closest color match would be using contemporary paints - I've got 2 Airwolf models on the pile that I am finally going to get to!
