I *wish* my stupid memory hadn't deserted me in about 1980 (ummmm, or was that 1970...) I think there were a variety of lamp black/iron oxide (PC.12) and lamp black/ochre (PC.10) mixes but vaguely recall mixes including red lead (Warning !

However it can be just as pestilential as masking when working on, for example, a Pfalz D.III or Albatros because of the non-uniform taper. Still works better than masking for me, but getting each of the stripes to taper correctly, leaving a gap with uniform taper and keeping the spacing more or less regular is a little finicky. (same applies to checks, except that you have to keep them regular in length and depth, or the change in size regular, and do it in 3 dimensions. Urghhh.

In INTERNATIONAL ARMIES & WEAPONS, July 1976 the is an article on the Ruston 1000 written by Gary Barling. Here is what he says about the colors (colours): Of the seven colours used on this aircraft, the red, white, and blue are the same as used for the national markings, and the black (for the ribbing effect on the wings and the outlining on the fuselage) is just good old everyday black! The other three colours require a bit of clarification. Blue-Grey- This colour is predominantly blue in colour, and the shade is about two shades lighter than the blue used for the national markings. It can be produced by using the Humbrol colours, lightening the Navy Blue (HM 10) with touches of Light Grey (HN 1) and White. Apple Green - This colour is not as light as the name would have us believe. Again using Humbrol colours, Vert (HF 2), with a touch of Mid Stone (HB 12) and lightened a little with White, is a good approximation. Yellow-Orange - This colour is just what it say it is: a predominantly yellow colour with just a whisper of orange added to give it a richer tone than just pure yellow. Again, let me finish a roll of film as I just re-photographed my Ruston 1000 that I build many years ago. I will try and get it on my page by the weekend.
