I considered that, especially in light of the black struts mixed with the 
red nose looks good too. Diego's comment on it being a worn airframe exposed 
to a lot of hot castor oil would apply equally it the struts were black or 
red, so they well may have been black.

The white primer is still drying, so I'm not decided yet.

Thanks
