Hi All,
I suppose I ought to say what I think is wrong with the colour scheme.
1. The underside should be medium ocean grey, not black.
2.The grey on the upper surface is far to light. Looks more like med.ocean grey, rather than dark ocean grey.
3.LR 507 was an Oboe Mosquitol, therefore the glass area at the front of the fuz, should be painted over, to hide the Oboe equipment.
4.This final one should get me Anorak of the Month award:) . The camoflage grey/green pattern is the wrong way round. The pattern is for the fighter/fighter bomber version ie the grey & the green should be the other way round. De Havilland used the same (or similar) drawing for the camoflage pattern, right from the early days of the Mosquito. So if a Mosquito rolled out of Percivals, for example, it would look almost identical to one that had just rolled out of dH Hatfield.
On the picture below the dark pattern would be green on the bomber & dark ocean grey on the fighter/fighter bomber.
Now it’s time to go lie down in a darken room & take my pills;)
Cheers,
Neilly
