ESzczesniak Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) I'm building the Hasegawa Blue Angels boxing. I know the inner surface of the flap control surface is red. It looks to me like the under side of the wing, the area covered by the flap, is still blue. However, this area is in the shadows and I haven't found a low enough angle to be certain. Is anyone able to confirm or refute this? On IAF and at least some combat A-4's, both sides are clearly red. So I'm trying to figure out if I'm wrong, or the BA birds are different. They're already at least a bit different with the interior of the landing gear doors being blue. I appreciate any help!

KursadA Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 (edited) The Blue Angels A-4 at the Seattle Museum of Flight is still in its original paint scheme, and as far as I know its flaps are deployed. The rear fuselage of the aircraft is easily accessible and it should be possible to see the inside surface pretty easily by kneeling. If you can't find a photo, perhaps someone with easy access to the museum can help. Edited July 10, 2020 by KursadA Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BillS Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Just saw an airborne pic of 5, flaps extended. Clearly red on both surfaces. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
