Brown = Low explosive (propellant) Red = Incendiary -stuff that sets fire to things! Yellow = High explosive Warhead Selwyn Thanks for the info, but these are the colours from the instructions.

They're part of the markings for the 889 Squadron. Maybe the pilot was a Hippie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry_the_Spider Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 (edited) I couldn't give a rat's bottom what colour the bands are on the missiles. Very nice job. I hope when I get to do my Dragon one I get it looking half as good as that. Edited February 18, 2018 by Harry_the_Spider 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wee Beastie Posted February 19, 2018 Author Share Posted February 19, 2018 (edited) And I'm done!Weapons and tanks were fitted, the undercarriage built up, and wheel bay doors attached. Also the lowered flaps were fitted too.Lastly the refuelling boom, and Master pitots were added to the wings. Painted with Hataka Red Line Ex Dark Sea Grey, and Orange Line Traffic White. For the display, Gary Morton of Coastal Kits Display Bases, printed me off a blurred HMS Eagles carrier deck. The catch cable is made from 1mm plastic rod, and some clear acrylic rod was used to mount the Sea Vixen.
