Conwy Soarer Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 B&Q or Homebase will colour match from a colour sample, I had a Spit PSS and wanted it in a desert scheme like an Airfix one I had built, I painted some of the Humbrol paint onto a bit of card and had some paint mixed - worked a treat. You could always check the plastic kit forums to see if anybody could help with the colour mix.

Conwy Soarer Posted July 24, 2011 Share Posted July 24, 2011 Biigest problem with a red arrow is the red, I remember making one from the catajet plan in RM in the 80's, I covered it in bog standard red solarfilm which I was pleased with until I went to a show at RAF St Athan or Chivenor and noticed that the red was more of an orangey red - I never bothered recovering as I was happy and it was only a profile scale glider anyway so scale fidelity was not an issue.

Ian Jones Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Posted by Eric Bray on 24/07/2011 22:23:29:Ian - I note you flew too low, and are carrying a length of telephone cable on the tail strakes! LOL, telephone cable! Yipes, I didn't realise I was that high . Posted by Christian Ackroyd on 24/07/2011 23:00:34: Ian, Is that a Westfield Kit? Yep Christian it certainly is. I've been flying it for 6 years now. I gave it a major spruce up a few years ago - changed all the servos, checked & corrected the CG, fitted a switch harness & charging socket & replaced the canopy. Apart from that it's as it's always been I just need to change to 2.4 Ghz so that no-one will think I've been collecting telephone cables .

Reno Racer Posted July 25, 2011 Share Posted July 25, 2011 Looks nice, I've been thinking of getting their Hawk or Vampire for a quick fun fly plane PS. Post says its about 3 in the morning, don't worry I don't have a sleep disorder, just in a different time zone - 6 hrs behind.
