"Vietnam - Quanset Huts - what color?" Topic

What color were Quanset Huts during the Vietnam War?

Were they basic metal, OD green or camo? or any and all three paint types?

OD like everything else!!

Interesting question – were they shipped into Vietnam painted, or in the bright (and painted locally)? If the latter, then those in rear areas might still be unpainted.

I'm not all that sure about the painting. I did a google image search and the color pictures show them in unpainted metal.

Most were left bare metal, some painted in OD or in Camo. The camo ones I had seen looked most like the way the USAF painted aircraft at the time.

So quick question. I'm assuming that Vietnam era huts are not much different physically then WWII era right? I didn't think to check when I designed my laser cut ones and now I'm curious. I still need to finish the design of the larger hanger type on and before I get into it I figured I'd ask.

The ones I saw in CONUS were generally bare metal. Those overseas were OD

It's "Quonset", or "Nissen".
