Duncan B Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 I'm sure this is quite a simple question for RAF/RN types familiar with the period (that rules me out). I'm looking to make a couple of Tamiya Swordfish, one in the pre-war silver and another in the early war scheme and also a Walrus in pre-war or early war scheme and am wondering what the internal colours for these would be? RAF types are not my normal subject so any pointers wold be appreciated, thanks. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhoenixII Posted March 23, 2019 Share Posted March 23, 2019 Here you go Duncan @Duncan B, as posted by the late Swordfish Fairey. Swordfish is RNHF Mk.I W5856. The pink colouring is due to the colour of shrinking dope, and it tendency to bleed through the Irish Linen. HTH? 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncan B Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 That's most helpful Paul, now for the Walrus. Duncan B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vulcanicity Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 Which Grey Green though? After all, Supermarines had their own mix rather closer to Sky, as used on Spitfires. A fair shout that the Walrus might have been painted in this shade rather than the "standard" Interior green? This is what I went for with my Stranraer, anyway...
