billn53 Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 I'm building Airfix's Ford Tri-motor (WIP here: https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/topic/235045006-back-to-the-mountains-of-madness/&page=1 ) and have a quick question: Starboard wingtip light circa 1930 -- green or blue? Thanks! -Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bentwaters81tfw Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 This one is blue. Ford built B-24s, and they were blue too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72linerlover Posted December 12, 2018 Share Posted December 12, 2018 The emitted light has to be green. If the outer lens seems to be blue, it may be due to a choice to mitigate the yellow effect of the filament bulbs, thus making a green emission in combination with blue.
