Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 10:51 amNice! ...those Vertigo models look very nice. Is that your repaint?
Posted: Thu Jun 03, 2010 12:03 pmOne heck off a choice to paint the group as every aircraft had a different scheme for the race , I do have an old colour photo off No.69 . 
guessing ? quite typical the age off photos turns to a yellowish tinge .

Ian, you've probably got the same picture that I have and the Sand seems a tadge darker, but I have taken the colours from the USAAC Spec. 14057-A.
