The yellow is quite a possibility. A friend of mine has returned the mortal remains of a Vega Gull to the UK and has commenced rebuild to flying condition. This Gull was dispatched direct to Australia in 1938 finished overall in a glossy primrose yellow with mid to dark blue markings. What a pretty aeroplane that will be on completion.
