US O2 bottles are bright green. The small bottle Testors is correct. LOX are yellow.
I believe you !

Finally started spraying; laid down a black base coat.
Going to work on removing the crap-load of flash from the engine parts while this dries

Betcha it's Rubber Black. And Karl, you HAVE been into the drinks cabinet if you believe I'd do that.

Grey is a lighter shade of black.

The color of black depends on what hemisphere you are in when you view it backwards in the mirror while standing on your head.
Great work there Geo.

Thanks guys. Having compressor issues so I did the I.P. Not entirely accurate but it will be covered by the canopies. A couple if touch-ups still to be done. I used Humbrol for the red so I'll need to let this dry a spell. The instructions would have you fold up the right side so that it sits on a ledge. I'm going to remove it and add it later
Back to the compressor. I swapped out the old for the new, the old one rarely shut down even when the airbrush wasn't being used. I unscrewed the regulator/moisture trap from the old one and screwed it on to the new one...it ended up upside down. No matter how I started to thread it on it ended up upside down or at best 45° from upside down. I added a thin nut and got it to line up correctly, however.......a small amount of air is escaping and the compressor kicks in every couple of seconds
