CF-100 Mk.IV NMF :: colours?


Recommended Posts

I am starting a "blitz build" tomorrow (15-July-2016) on a 1:48 CF-100 Mk. IV (Hobbyboss kit) and decals from Canuck Models (023-48)

I will build it as a 445 sq. RCAF in NMF (natural metal finish) but the instructions are lacking about most colours.

So... I need to know what colours to use for the following:

INSIDE:

Cockpit, seats

Landing gear

Wheel wells

OUTSIDE:

What colours to use for NMF, on what parts? (I am likely to use Alclad.)

Sorry for the short notice... but I need to know today/tomorrow (14/15).

Glenn,

Cockpit, seats - interior black

Landing gear - dark gull grey

gear wells - white or NM

Exterior - aluminum - not much panel variation but you can mix it up a bit, if you choose.

I based these colours on the Clunk at Rockcliffe. Nose gear door interiors are white. Main gear door interiors are NM. A friend of mine flew Mk. III's, IV's V's and the interior was black.

I concur with Mike's comment on the exterior colour variation (specifically, the lack of variation). The natural metal finish on the CF-100s was relatively uniform.

He's right, as usual! :thumbsup:
