ok well they are easy enough to change if someone can supply me with correct RGB codes or decent well lit pictures. I used an averaged sample from pictures and obivously they all suffered from the same dark/washed out problem, which probably has to do with the film used and age more than anything.

This might give you a bit of a guide.

After a lot of research and consultation these are the colours I used for the fourl iveries.

But of course they look different in FS depending on distance and lighting.

Obviously it is only the top two for the TriStar.

I have no idea if the wings were normal or white on top but they were only painted 'Court colour' underneath.

These are the repaints of Mike Stone's Tristar that I was referring to earlier (NOT MY REPAINTS - no credit to me).

What's your rating of the colours, Garry? :roll:

HI Ian

The yellow one bottom should be more orange and the main yellow looks a little dark but that might be the lighting...I've put the colour a couple of posts back

The Clarksons Logo on the fin is back to front on both....it's a "C"

Yes I saw the colours that you posted - just wanted an opinion of this version.

We all have selective memories :roll: I only saw each one of them once and it was a l_o_n_g time ago.

Obviously no one has picked up on the C logo before :sad: Didn't you make a similar comment on another Court repaint recently?

I will pass your comments to the painter if he is not reading them on here himself.

Hi Ian

The colours change anyway with lighting and fading.

The "C" I seem to be continually pointing that one out.

People get fooled into thinking it was arrow so point it the same way but it is a "C" and a Clarksons not Court logo. That same logo was on the Autair One-Elevens.

Only a single One-Eleven wore the Court 2C" as far as I am aware and that was right at the end.
