Thanks, I did manage to click my way though to them on Village

AFAIK both photos are warbirds, not WWII color photos. I’m just saying the appearance of OD in the first photo is more representative of the WWII color OD 41. While AN 613 was supposed to replace OD 41 and was more green, at least one serious researcher (Dana Bell) asserts there is little evidence ANA 613 was actually used on USAAF aircraft since the Material Division insisted on OD 41.

Olive Drab 41 is a brownish green (or greenish brown😛). The first photo of the cockpit looks close to the OD color, the second photo of the two C-47s looks too green. Your H-52 looks like a good choice. H-53 looks a good choice for neutral gray, as is XF-24.

@steh2o, your pictures seem not have survived in your linked WIP, all I get is a little blue ? and “spacer.png”
-
If you have access to Tamiya, XF-62 (olive drab) would be a lot closer to OD 41, Tamiya also do a neutral gray, XF-53. However IMO, XF-53 is too dark; while at least one Neutral Gray color reference is a very dark gray, many B&W photographs show it quite a bit lighter and Tamiya XF-20 might be a better choice.

Amazon US has Prym’s sewing elastic thread 0.5mm, is that the same as your very fine?

312 Squadron Hurricane Fuselage Band Color?
Chuck1945 replied to Paul Repcik's topic in Aircraft WWII
The squadron codes would normally be applied at the squadron, and fuselage band done at either the factory or MU so it wouldn’t be unusual for the two differently applied Sky paints to not quite match. -
Vickers Virginia Mk.X +++ Finished +++
Chuck1945 replied to CliffB's topic in World War 2 Twins Mega GB
I watched this at the start then didn’t get back to it till this evening. As a result I forgot it was 1/200 and not the Contrail 1/72 vac. Superb! -
When I saw the link Friday that led to Navy Wings and clicked on the book it said one copy available and that is probably the one that went into my cart since I did receive a subsequent purchase confirmation email.

I’ve done three of the SH P-40s. You will definitely enjoy yours. Looking forward to watching along here.

Didn’t realize there was a new one till reading this thread. I got the original along with the Aircraft of the FAA 1939-45 back in the 90s. Just ordered the new one, $100 delivered to the US. Yikes!
-
👍 Darn, all these B-25s showing up in this build is making me think seriously about my Airfix Doolittle raider boxing, the photos from the USS Hornet showing one wearing an over-painted but still visible 1941 war games white cross is tempting
-
Looking good, if I ever read anything regarding its in-flight handling, I’ve forgotten, but it must have been a dog.

JRF-5 Goose (NAS Jacksonville 1941) + colors and codes?
Chuck1945 replied to warhawk's topic in Aircraft WWII
ANA 608 didn’t exist in 1941, the upper color would most probably have been Blue-Gray, and the lower one Light Gray. Can’t help with codes.
