OK guys i've been pondering over the camo information for this bird - Here's a pic of a D.I showing the wing camo:
I notice that one wing has very clear and sharp demarcation between colours but the remainder of the aircraft has a soft and much less apparrent demarcation (and very much less of a difference in tonal values for the colours). Anyone know why this may be?
To paraphrase Dan San Abbot's description of the camo from Stephen Lawson's build:
Quote:
|
...the lilac is the dominant color and is the dark color in the photographs. The green is pale and lighter than the lilac. The color of the green is a soft, pale mossy green.

Therefore it looks to me like the aircraft would have a base camo of lilac with "strings" of the pale green painted (or likely sprayed) over the top. From Dan San Abbot's description I am guessing the green does not have many other tints (ie not a grey-green or a green-brown) so was a reasonably "pure" green but reasonably light... anyone have some paint or colour refs?
Also, what was considered the "standard" camo for this aircraft? Whas the brown / chocolate coloured fuselaged version included in the kit decals considered as "production standard" camo or was it unusual?
Cheers in advance!
