[color=#000000]The green is gone, on both versions.

[edit]Hagar informed me that the green was accurate for the Navy for that period. So my apologies to the Royal Navy and all who prefer accurate representations. I just don't like that green. [/edit]

The more I fly this thing, the better I like it. Great find Dave.

That looks really nice.

I think the authentic "green" was a light grey with just a hint of green. It varies according to the light. More like the paint on this model. http://modelingmadness.com/reviews/korean/cleavershorn.htm

A lot of colour profiles I've seen aren't exactly accurate. Unfortunately colour photos of these aircraft are very rare.

Goodly morning Doug... :)

The old girl makes sure I get something green with every meal... ;)
Like green onions chopped up into my home fried potatoes which I like with my bacon and eggs in the morning.   ;)

Cheers...Happy Landings...Doug

You were right, I was wrong, of course it shouldn't wear RAF colours... :-[ But the default livery was just too green. And I like the grey better anyway. ;D  Nice work patchz. ;)
