That makes sense Leif

Was it similar to the finish DH put on many Herons and Doves??

We are establishing they are silver whIch is not at all like bare metal so will look more grey

Bit by bit with constructive comments is the way forward,trying to avoid the horrors of photo(un)real along the way

Hey Garry

Very similar to that paint....by the way -- I remember going to a GAC Open day and seeing a Javelin painted the same colour -- that would have been about 1959/60 - as apposed to most Javelins I saw ferried out which were painted camo.

Thanks Leif

It seems a lot of early British fighters were silver rather than bare...This in the days when bare metal reigned supreme in general.
Gives a starting point at least
