PatW Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 I have just watched the Nat Geo channel on Sky where they talk about draining the Bermuda Triangle. They centre on Flight 19 on the 5th December 1945 out of Fort Lauderdale and that the flight of 5 planes disappeared soon afterwards. Plus the flying boat sent to find them! I've found various pictures on the net of the flight/planes and their markings. The problem I have is, as the pictures are in black and white, what is the aircraft colourway, black, dark blue? I'm told Sea Blue Gloss although it looks to me to be either semi gloss or matte finish. The kit I have found and bought from ebay is. Research..........................

Graham Boak Posted October 17, 2019 Share Posted October 17, 2019 Looks pretty good as far as the colour goes. I suspect the aircraft were TBMs rather than TBFs, but without getting into deep detail (which I don't know) I suspect the only differences will be the lack of the gun in the nose, possibly no gun in the ventral position, and an ASV pod under one wing. Nothing to bother about at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
