Hi there

Please excuse the possible daft question, but what colour is the fuselage roundel? It's different in the artwork compared to the photo. In the latter, the outer ring is a different shade to the stripe and numeral. Or, conversely, what colour(s) were the stripe and number (there seems to be a hozontal line where the number crosses the stripe)? It can't all be blue, can it?

All the best

Hi Stephen Thanks for the explanation. Do Wingnuts have the decals correct for this? All the best Rowan

Hi Stephen
I imagine the original photo was shot on orthochromatic film, which would make the blues appear pale. The extent to which it would change the contrast between two shades of blue is harder to guess. If the blue used for the number and stripe was slightly translucent (which might account for the different effect where they meet, if one was painted over the other), it would appear darker due to the red pigment in the PC10 coming through. All the best

Hi Stephen

Very true - and factory colours could vary considerably too, depending on the source, how they were applied and their condition. We're taking it as a given that the number and stripe were blue - is that confrmed (the Windscock caption I've read only says "could be blue..." and a/c #8 seems to have a darker stripe)?

All the best

Cheers Stephen

I won't ask any more questions, because this is totally hijacking Michael's thread.

All the best

When I do this method for rigging the frame work notches are made on the back side so the lines sit in a V shape Grove making more flush with the surface .
