: Hi there, Hope someone can help. Currently
: buidling (restoring) Airfix Halifax BIII,
: some confusion about what colour the upper
: surface 'brown' is. One reference quotes
: Dark Earth, but looking at some web site
: models this seems too dark. So folks any
: ideas? and what Humbrol or other enamel
: paint colour would be deemed appropiate???
: Thank you for any help.
: regards
: Simon
: I think you would be pretty safe to stick with the "Dark Earth" as this was the official specified colour. It did suffer from fading when used in the tropics or Australia but generally held up ok in Europe. Re photos - the film type used could result in tonal variation. Dick
