Hi All,
This isn't new for many of us, but will be for others. For fun and education I post these examples of why it is iffy trying to pontificate colors from photos--to my chargrin!
Is this P-51 painted blue or green on top?

That is why colors are always a questionable matter. All we can do is suggest..the rest is in the eye of the beholder! Good point, thanks!
Why not make the whole plane out of the same material the blackbox is made from?
