Dogsbodyx - yep, WT830 is the aircraft I intend to build. I didn't know it was the first Javelin to go supersonic - the information you provided was most interesting - thank you! Thanks again everyone for your help. I think we've conclusively shown the prototypes were painted in Dark Green, Dark Grey and Medium Sea Grey.

Thank you all for your help. To be honest, I couldn't pick the colour of the fourth prototype's undersides - in some pictures it looked to be silver, in others, grey! However, the appearance of the tail fin has swayed me. I'll go with dark green/dark sea grey over medium sea grey as per Duncan's advice. Thanks again to you all for your help. This really is a great discussion board! Cheers, John

Thanks Andrew for the info. Do you know if the tail was Dark Sea Grey also, or another colour - Gloster Javelin Fourth Prototype Cheers, John

Hi All, I have a Testors 1/72 Javelin kit that I'd like to build as a desktop model. I understand that the kit represents the fourth Javelin prototype. Does anyone know what colours this aircraft was painted in, particularly the tail and undersurfaces? Were they light aircraft grey? Thanking you in advance. Cheers, John
