Title: B-57 cocpit color
Post by: Spanky on Wed 07/13/11 05:25 AM
I'm building the 1/48 Airfix RB-57E and I'm not quite sure as to what color to paint the cockpit.I have an eduard color zoom set and it looks like a ghost grey color,the CMK set says to paint it in 26270 neutral grey and I borrowed Mikes Classic Airframes kit and they say paint it black grey.I'm stumped.I figured it would be 36231 dark gull grey.Ben????

Yup, Dark Gull Grey. The colors Eduard uses on their PE sets rarely match the real color. I guess that's due to the printing process used on the parts.
