CedB Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 When I showed pictures of some of my models on the ceiling @perdu commented "…wouldn't it be splendid to see the stately Sunderland flying in formation with her latter-day successor?" As John Luke would say, "Make it so". So I'm going to. Here's the box art: I'll do some shots of the part trees later but, before I do, here's a question for you… EDSG and DSG? Really? Looks green to me… 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggles87 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Here we go again then. I think that Dark Slate Grey is one of those colours that changes with the light, like the green on Danish F -100s John 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perdu Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Dark Slate Grey is definitely of the greener side of grey Heather has a perfect example there, nice one Heather, very nice Well wont it be nice to see the stately Sunnerland aloft with the Mighty Hunter huh (I'm in, 'tain't brown is it) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

malpaso Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Presumably the Whitehall mandarin in charge MAP colour names took his holidays in the Lake District where the slates are green?

Terry1954 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Can't believe it, I made page 1 of a Ced build, phew! Excellent choice Ced, looking forward to this one, and as others have said Dark Slate Grey does indeed look green, to me at least, most of the time. That and good old EDSG are simply a delicious combination, which always adds something to the already "extra specialness" of FAA aircraft, and in this case, Coastal Command birds too!

dogsbody Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 I was away for two days and just got back yesterday afternoon. Glad I got in early to another Ced-fest. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harley John Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Page 1? Right in at the start(-ish). Went on holiday in August think Ced finished three builds in the time I was away so I'm definitely watching this one. Looking forward to this.
