JackG Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 Working on the Sword kit, and apparently the overall dark blue colour was a locally mixed paint applied after the aircraft was already serving in the Mediterranean theater. So my questions are: 1.) - no stencils applied after repaint, only serial code? 2.) - wheel wells dark blue? 3.) - both hubs on either side of tires painted dark blue? 4.) - black prop nose? About the prop nose, in the b/w photo, it looks to be the same tone as the blades, but it could just be dust on a dark blue nose? I'd post a direct link to the period shot, but is from a now defunct photo bucket service, it does appear in this inspection thread: regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Boak Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 From what I've seen mentioned, 1. Stencils were not normally reapplied. 2. Wheel wells would not normally be repainted 3. No idea. 4. Dark blue spinner rather than black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
