from Cybermodeler - any ideas as to what colors could have been used?

It will be very expensive and will have hundred of parts put not one of them will be shaped accurately. :-( SignatureEnzo I wear the cheese. It does not wear me. >>> from Cybermodeler - any ideas as to what colors could have been used? >>> [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > It will be very expensive and will have hundred of parts put not one of > them will be shaped accurately. :-( I can still hope and dream can't I ??? SignatureAM http://sctuser.home.comcast.net http://www.novac.com My bet is it wasn't exactly 'experimental', but was probably for a pre-war war game. It looks pretty quickly slopped on & I have seen pics & drawings of P-36s in a similar camo of at least orange & white. Can't recall the other colors, maybe green &/or blue, but it was just for taking sides, not a specific camo, IIRC. > from Cybermodeler - any ideas as to what colors could have been used? > > Craig > > http://www.cybermodeler.com/index.shtml > My bet is it wasn't exactly 'experimental', but was probably for >a pre-war war game.

I have photocopies of the Tailhook magazine article which goes into the story of them...but I don't think it had specific colors listed. http://www.history.navy.mil/photos/ac-usn22/t-types/tbd-cam.htm Stephen "FPilot" Bierce/IPMS #35922 http://frustratedpilot.livejournal.com Back in about the mid '70s, the now defunct Scale Modeler was putting posters in the mags each month. One was of a P-36 in 'wargame camo' & I'm sure at least 2 colors were white & orange with maybe the blue or green as well. > > My bet is it wasn't exactly 'experimental', but was probably for > >a pre-war war game.

It was done to ships too, mostly in WW I, called "Razzle Dazzle"1. I have three pics of the Buffalo in BW, but I'm pretty sure the article said the colors were just that - Black, White and a little Grey Claus Gustafsen Denmark > Back in about the mid '70s, the now defunct Scale Modeler was > putting posters in the mags each month.

The P-36 was completely different, not a Barclay scheme. Stephen "FPilot" Bierce/IPMS #35922 http://frustratedpilot.livejournal.com |
