howdy, i got around to painting the fuel tank today and was wondering if ya reckon i got the colour of it right? Ive seen that many different photos and picys and they all look bloody different. The instructions say to paint it matt wood brown but i reckon there is more orange in it then brown, then to top it off my mate sent me a picture of one and it looked to be an off white colour, i wish nasa would make their mind up and paint them one colour. lol. cheers hadyn

I'd say that the band looks the right colour Hainus, But I'd add some more brown to the mix and repaint the rest. Different lighting would also make it appear to be a differnt colour as well. Spotlights vs sun light etc.

Good luck.

Correct! the idea was to show the differing effects of colour in the 2 shots, yet the orange band appears not to have been affected to the same degree!
 
Thanks for the pictures wayne, i ended up masking it up today and painted the rest of it , i looks alot better and i will put a picy up tommorrow, the lighting wasnt good at the time so i didnt take any shots. cheers hadyn
