quang Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Very neat build. I like the restrained weathering and crisp rendering. I’d darken the roundel blue a little bit, though. But it’s only me D Bellis 1
Juggernut Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 I believe the roundels on the top are representative of faded insignia. Decals like this were provided by EagleCals in the past. The underside ones should be a darker shade of blue.
Chris Wimmer Posted March 8, 2023 Posted March 8, 2023 Lovely work and your engine is a gem! cheers Chris

Even though, there was a period in their lifetime when they were not that faded, right? They just look better in darker blue. D Bellis and dennismcc 1 1

That doesn’t mean that there was not a time when the colours were fresh. Just that we don’t have photos of it. Likewise, we don’t have period photos of the wing underside. What makes you think that the blue was darker?
