While not directly linked to this thread, I wish to do a model of K5054 on the day of its first flight. Anyone know what colour/colours it was? I beleive it was sort of bare metal and light green/zinc chromate?
Thanks.

Keith, I have an article lurking around here from one of the modelling mags that goes into a lot of detail about this. If you’re interested, PM me and I’ll scan the pages in.
