Ah.. Mr Rapide himself!

Yes mate.. I'll let this one go when I'm about happy with it ;-)

Garry..
Here's how it looks with the BEA logo outlined in red (no wonder my eyes are getting b1oody worse!)


Is this what you meant?? It still looks at a 'jaunty' angle but it IS the official BEA FJ logo of the period.. squashed a little to show as it does in the shots ;-) The back line of the 'A' is straight.. not angled fwd as it appears in that shot.

Hi Mate

If it is like that then that account for it being none too clear on the pics :think:

I was only referring to the front before but wasn't looking that closely at it.

Would be so nice to see a close up of the nose

Comes to a point where it's best left overnight and then see how it first strikes you with a fresh eye

Here you go Matey..

There's only so much I can do with this ;-)


The Mk of Rapide is the wrong version anyway but let's not complicate things further

DaveB :tab:

It's a Rapide at the end of the day.

Are the marks that distinctive anyway???? :think:

Nice one Dave

BA next???


Garry

Hello Matey..

No.. they're not distinctive at all (make that.. invisible to my eyes).. but I'm happy to go if that's what you think it should be.. no point in doing it otherwise There are fictional paints and paints where you have to go with what you have or not go at all. I don't care for fictional and WON'T go unless I'm sure it's a 'fair representation' given what's available.. like those Don Everall Rapides done not so long ago. If something turns up to say they're wrong.. I'll dive in and change it in a jif (or should that now be Cif) :o

I suppose BA could well be next but it'd be really nice if all this time were spent filling holes in our VA fleet.. towit there are many :roll: I can fill a few in shortish order with the Scottish Airways RAS camo.. I think :think: We'll see ;-)

What d'ya reckon on the underwing reg mate?? All together or staggered.. G - on one side of the nacelle and the remaining 4 letters outboard?? Not done the upper although I have nothing to confirm one way or the other if GD would have worn one :think:

Indeed

You can't hold back for some little detail so comes the point

Like you say someone comes up with more info and it can be fixed.

At laest doing these gets you familiar with the paintkit.

As to the reg.I saw a pic during my research today

I'll see if I can find it again :think:

I'll be back

Garry

There you go mate

all in one piece

Cheers Mate

You can never have too many phots though the more I see of this, the more confused I become Wing pylons look blue on that but on another, they're definately white. Mine will stay white

ATB

DaveB :tab:

I reckon the struts should be silver, as per the wings Dave.

Concur DG.

I would go for the too
