It is rather nice old chap, even with that tubby thing in the middle!

 

[Njaco]

[Airframes]

Didn't want to mention that bit!
Seriously though, a great 'siggy', well done Marcel.

Not to be a party pooper, but the interior of F4Fs was a dark bronze-green, not zinc chromate.

Rich

 

[Lucky13]

That's alright Rich.... It's darker in reality, or should it be a completely different shade of green? Mix in some colour to get it more close to the real thing? One thing can be that, there were strong sunlight outside when I took the pic...

Of these two pics below, my is closer to the top one. The bottom one is way too dark, right?
