Matt,
Depends on what era you are looking to replicate. There is a color called army helo drab, available from Testors that is an exact match of the helos you see today. I built a Hirobo huey and painted it with Krylon camo OD green. (from a can!!!) Take a look, the color is super close to what I envision they look like. Early on in the Vietnam war they were painted a much greener color, almost like a forest green. Just remember, if you use a paint to make sure it is fuel proof. I have my choppers converted to electric so thats not an issue.
Bottom line, its your chopper, paint it the way you would like to see it.
