........But they got the colour scheme wrong.  AT & T's fuselage colour was black. They seem to have confused it with the blue Instone plane. 

I am shocked--shocked--to find that they got the colors wrong!

 

Seriously though, thanks for the comment. I was able to correct Encore Model's 1/48 Grumman Goose. It turns out the wing was not all yellow, the cowls were not blue, and they had markings in the wrong location. The wing was actually bare metal and yellow, while the cowls were red. 

 

Is the light color still silver or perhaps gray or white? Can you point to primary evidence?

Stunning build I would never have the patience to even attempt the rigging. It would have taken a very early test flight into the nearest wall so hats off to you sir🎩 👏👏👏

Silver.  AT & T was an affiliate of parent company AMC (Airco) and used their house colour scheme. Ref John Stroud's Aeroplane Monthly article on the DH 16 (AT & T's primary equipment).

Fabulous and makes a nice change to the more usual military type.

That is some rigging job you did there - the wire seems to have worked very well - has it added much stiffness to the structure?

Hi Spad,

 

It definitely makes the wings less wobbly.
