discussion Langy's Airfix 1/48 Buccaneer S.2B

[langy71]

The pod ends. Richard doesn't remember exactly (it was forty years ago!), but he reckons it's a dielectric aerial end, which looks reddish brown on grey ones, and later Gulf one. He seems to think it's fibreglass of some kind
But, olive drab definitely doesn't match the photos
Me, I'd do clear orange over grey. But that's perilously close to how I paint polished wooden props on my silver wings stuff!

Sorry we couldn't be more helpful

That's more than helpful, seems a perfect solution to get that colour, I'll give it a spin and see what turns up, sometimes Airfix's colour callouts just feel wrong, may have something to do with them supporting / advising the modeller to use Humbrol paints...(which aren't the most accurate at times)
