Inkworm - you are a star. Thanks a lot for leading me to the Google thing. Got my next project in it I notice. You guys are going to have a ball with this one. (Another one I've flown in, incidentally).

hey rat,

the only thing i have a problem with now is the camouflage colours and the markings, is this a UK based aircraft? if so your markings are the wrong colours, see previous post on the lancasters and others

i hate to say this but i must,

go back to the beginning and find a proper drawing, this one is so far out its unreal sorry mate, i really did not want to say this

I have no doubt that this is your default position every time you see a new thread.

Good to see you man up and admit you were wrong. This time.

hi GFR,

sorry mate but i don't have a default position but i alway admit when i am wrong, in rats case i had a senior moment (turned 60 last wednesday) i knew his colours were wrong but i was not going to say anything, but after my cock up i just had to

Oh boy, I only made a pretty little picture and look where it got me. They made 11,300 of these before they got fed up. I bet they weren't all the same colour. Somebody, Inkworm I think, mentioned that most monitors vary slightly according to calibration. That also applies to the colours generated by various types of reproduction coming out of cameras. Film, digital or whatever. The chances of me hitting the colour dead on were minimal to say the least. Move on I say. Put it this way, there's no camo on my current project, thank heavens. Now, when it comes to silver paint.....? I once asked a paint shop to repaint my caravan white. The guy immediately brouight out a book of 60 swatches of different whites. Same applies.

I claim no responsibility for this. Warren, when I started the drawing it became astonishlingly evident that there was little photo evidence, so it's little wonder you had such a tough go of it. You've done a fine job. I do agree though that the crew is a tad too stark.

sorry rat,

you dont get out of it that easy, this is nothing to do with monitor settings, this is straight out wrong shades of Dk Earth and Dk Green i have posted the correct shade on here before, and the markings colours are totally wrong, unless the aircraft was used in either Canada or South Africa

Thought I'd got out of it easy. Phone lines been down for a few days, due to some malicious bastard cutting out 1375 lumps of wire and melting it down for scrap. No phones, no internet. Peace indeed! Will have a look at your kaleidoscope of riotous ancient paints and see what can be done. Don't hold your breath, I'm a busy lad. Grass and hedges are growing, it's been raining at last! ( and I'm growing melons which need hand fertilising too, ho ho ho).

Brilliant, any chance of doing ours before the weekend, and the hedge while you're at it? And does it do anything but rain round here?
