Duncan Cook
Does naybody know the colour of the Uniforms the britsh pilots wore?
havenÄt found good pictures.

Holger Kranich
I´d say olive drab...

Dirk Heyer
Hi Duncan,
the standard colour was blue grey. White was also common meanwhile the Battle of Britain. And Khaki was the colour in Mediterranean theatre and under tropical condition.
Maybe this pictures will help:

Bill Gilman
Hey Dirk, any Royal Navy uniform pictures? The RAF pix are great for reference! 🙂

Dirk Heyer
Hi Bill,
will rummage through my literature...🙂

Duncan Cook
I made my first Airbrush try.
Expect some Areas I'm prety satisfied with the result.

Holger Kranich
Cool lets compare with my latest project! Bf 109 G10 in 1:72😢!

Duncan Cook
I think my Airbrush skil are getting better.

Holger Kranich
Despite the masking, it is fun, isnt it?

Mike Kryza
Interesting - I'm looking forward...🙂

Duncan Cook
Indeed. BUt no brushing today, Need to oder a new nozzle.

Holger Kranich
too big?

Duncan Cook
No, As i striped my Airbrush down and tried to reaseble it, I tightened it to much and the thread broke. I think it's better because the new Nozzle has a much higher qualaty.

When your airbrush starts acting either you buy a new one or spareparts. My devillbis double action has been with me for 20 years. I bought then all the spare parts i need. Invest into an expensive one. As we say........expensive is cheap. I just got a new rubber tube to connect with my compressor. It is fine. Get a double action Duncan.

Duncan Cook
I got another Brush now. It was a gift from a Board member.
i'm using a Triplex now. Very nice Device.

Sherif Sharmy

Duncan Cook
