Chris Royle Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Can someone please give me a colour reference to the maroon used by BEA in the 1950s, specifically that used on BEA's DC3 / Pionair fleet. Many thanks. Chris Royle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbofan Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hi Chris, I've looked through my paints and I reckon Humbrol 20 is as good a starting point as you're going to get. HTH. Cheers, Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Mc Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 I think they referred to it as "Peony Red". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Royle Posted August 27, 2018 Author Share Posted August 27, 2018 Thanks Turbofan. I agree, Humbrol 20 is about right. And thanks Eric. Peony red is indeed the name they used to describe the colour. Brilliant! Answers within hours. What a great resource this forum is 😊 Best wishes Chris 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Royle Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 Thanks gentlemen. 😎 I confirm that Humbrol 20 is spot on. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
