I really wish I knew where the current trend originated for representing Chinese roundels using mid-blue tones. There are a few contemporaneous images of Chinese aircraft which show a much darker, Royal Blue, shade. For example: I really, REALLY hope the manufacturer specifies a darker blue shade for the Chinese roundels than is apparent in the decal mock-ups.

mhaselden Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 Sorry for being curmudgeonly but the blue of those Chinese national markings is WAYYYYY too light. Otherwise, it looks like a lovely kit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
