I have just watched the Nat Geo channel on Sky where they talk about draining the Bermuda Triangle. They centre on Flight 19 on the 5th December 1945 out of Fort Lauderdale and that the flight of 5 planes disappeared soon afterwards. Plus the flying boat sent to find them!



I've found various pictures on the net of the flight/planes and their markings. The problem I have is, as the pictures are in black and white, what is the aircraft colourway, black, dark blue? I'm told Sea Blue Gloss although it looks to me to be either semi gloss or matte finish.







The kit I have found and bought from ebay is.....

Thanks Bob. Yes I'm not that keen but this story had me going. As I said to another site, I cleaned,undercoated,painted, but when it comes to taking from the sprue and putting it together, then things don't fit! Clean of the sprue bits, bits of paint stick together using clamps because the fuselage sides don't fit straight with the cockpit in, ARGHH! Etc.
