Very interesting Sean, as you say it could be a number of things,
the paints been on there 50+ yrs so wasn't sure of the colour so played safe and painted mine Mid Bronze Green.
Regards
John
I Bought a tin of sky blue and painted some on the engine and its not the same colour, the old colour on the engine is more a greenie blue as Austin says

John
Hi Wally,
Yes I Sent them an Email about 2 months back and havnt heard anything yet, although at the time you said it would take a while.
Would you like to see a picture of the engine colour before I painted it.
Regards
John
Thanks for the information Lads,
If my truck was RAF would they hold the records at VEHICLE RECORD RLC DIGTAL ARCHIVE or somewhere else as they have no records at above address
Regards
John
Hi Sean,
Applied for the history of the truck but they said no record could be found,
How do you know its an RAF Engine.
Previous owner changed the electrics and added the alternator

John
Thanks Sean
Il leave it as you say just dbg,
I asked about the engine fan being red as mine is, but it could be red oxide,
Glad you enjoyed the Album
Regards
John
Thanks Sean,
Didn't know you were into facebook, everything seems to be coming together now
Ive already bought the Deep Bronze Green paint so will paint it with that.
Sean would the engine fan have been painted red when it left the factory
Regards
John
Thanks everyone for your comments,
I Think il spray the truck deep bronze green (Saturn) then paint the Black camouflage (Saturn) on after. Hide a lot of faults:laugh:
Thanks for all your replies, Found it interesting and love the coach picture.
one other think is the fan on my K9 is painted red would that have been a standard colour or would it have been green
regards
John
