I have recently finished of profile(actually two...but I digress) of 44-13954 DA QUAKE and cant for the life of me decide whether it has a yellow stripe with red writing or a red stripe with yellow writing, I tend to go with the former, most everybody else seems to go with the later. FWIW I prefer the red stripped version, but for the sake of accuracy...

Anybody care to opine on the matter?

Sorry I dont have any images at hand, but if you care, you know where to find one.

Stripe seems to match yellow prop tips and checkers. Text is darker. So I'd say yellow stripe, red text.

I think someplace in this thread I mentioned that I wanted to create profiles of each of the 'Bottisham Four' and there are no doubt quite a few early incarnations also to be found in this thread. Though I dont want to see 'em.

I would like to know if there was an 'official' shade, or hear if anybody has an opinion of what shade of yellow was used either?

I to swing between a bright yellow, and a slightly orange yellow. Personally I prefer the later, but its not really about me.

Looking at the well know images, a case can be made both ways.

hi GFR,
you will find it is standard US insignia yellow, just check any chart for the exact colour

Of course it is. Makes perfect sense.

Don't know what I was/wasn't thinking. Doh!

In my defence I've had a hell of a week.

cheers.

[GiantFlyingRobots]

Yeah...Yeah. I know. More Mustangs. Boring!

Re-worked 'Miss'.

More to come...

Can one of you Mods change the stoopid name of this thread for me? 'Cos I don't think I'll ever finish this.
