Very cool

Nice! ...those Vertigo models look very nice. Is that your repaint?

[Ian Warren]

One 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 .

Just been over at SOH .. Jezzz ole 69 really got pasted ! so many schemes in a short time ! and show the very same colour plate i have here .

It is, and can be found here

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.
