Blacktjet Posted June 19, 2021 Share Posted June 19, 2021 (edited) Does anyone know if the intakes were painted black on the above jet? Thanks Edited June 19, 2021 by Blacktjet Dumb phone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktjet Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Unfortunately, grey Tornado intakes look black in most pictures! Radome started off gloss (polished?) but faded to satin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't tell Tuffnel and St. Hubbins! Nice pic, thanks for posting. Cheers, Andre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "satin" finish is the manufacturer's gel coat finish for the fibreglass (radar transparent) material of the radome. Trevor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobsyouruncle Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 I took this one at Bruntingthorpe all those years ago. Does look very dark down those intakes. I tried lightening the shadows in photoshop and it still looked dark. Someone else might be able to do it better. Hope this helps Bob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
