Linus Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 Hello Folks, from my old question about the color for the serial numbers on DH-88 G-ASCC it was silver and not white , so the KP kit is correct? yesterdy I received the DH-88 Micro-Mir 1/48, but the serial number in this last kit are in white! Could it be that Airfix, SBS, and Micro Mir were all wrong color, and only KP made color correct? Thanks in advance at all . linus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The registration lettering on ACSS was almost certainly white, and reported as such in the September 1934 issue of The Aeroplane. p.s. this is in the wrong forum and should be here https://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?/forum/27-classic-up-to-1968/ Edited December 2, 2020 by Work In Progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jinxman Posted December 12, 2020 Share Posted December 12, 2020 My understanding is that KP consulted with the library at Shuttleworth to confirm the silver colouring. From a personal interpretation of the b&w photos I have seen silver seems more likely than white, some even where white does not seem possible. No doubt the differing opinions on the issue will rumble on for a while yet. 😀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometracer Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 Yes, in 1934 the registrations were silver, but was painted white during the restoration of Grosvenor House and that has stuck ever since. So it goes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
