Vingtor Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 (edited) Re my work on the Sikorsky S-43 model (http://www.britmodeller.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=41894) I have come across documentation of the actual colours that were specified for the interior and exterior of the aircraft. I want to post this in a separate thread though. The colours are however specified by names which unfortunately does not reveal the true shades. Some of the colours that are specified are: Horizon Blue - cabin floor Stratosphere Blue - ceiling and wall panels Temple of Heaven Blue - ceiling and wall panels Any ideas about the shades of these blue colours?

Cheers, Nils Pure guess work but Horizon Blue was the colour of French WW.1 Army uniforms, so a pale Grey/Blue. Stratosphere Blue has to be a deep darker Blue and Temple of Heaven Blue sounds like a bedroom ceiling (I'd go for a Blue in between the others).

Vingtor Posted March 10, 2010 Author Share Posted March 10, 2010 Here is a (poor) photo from the actual aircraft. It seems like the Horizon Blue cabin floor is rather dark while the Stratosphere Blue and Temple of Heaven Blue shades are much lighter. I would have guessed, from the name, that Stratosphere Blue was a rather dark shade, but it appears to be a more medium blue. Nils Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
