It all depends on what they're going to be used for. Green or DPM upper surfaces and grey underside would seem to make sense in the troop transport role. The grey works really well on the PC-9s, but a light grey helicopter will stick out like a sore thumb from above when going over fields. Although a grey/green coat might be a bit too like the RAF Lynx's for the Air Corps liking...
