JohnB Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 Turned out just fine I think. I can see why folks sometimes think that it's black as the insignia blue certainly is dark. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A easy build with good fit, etc. Lots of different schemes to do too. 🙂 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CANicoll Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Looking Good John! What seatbelts did you use? Great job on the props - not sure I would have taken that on. Well done. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 John Looking mighty good and I always thought the underwing US ARMY was black and not insignia blue - always something new to learn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks Chris. FineMolds belts as usual which are my "go to" belts. The prop "adjustment" turned out to be easier than I expected. No sweat surprisingly. 🙂 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Peter. I too had always thought it to be black and in some cases it probably was. Hard to tell! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peterpools Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 Thanks, John for the insight. I just always assumed they were black. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Years ago, I went to Middlesboro, Kentucky, to see the P-38 that was pulled out of the glacier...."Glacier Girl". I saw the original US ARMY on the wing. It looked like a very very dark blue to my eye. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Insignia Blue IS pretty dark and can easily be misinterpreted as black. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
