Anyone know of an Accurate sound set - one that would make the windows rattle on startup - as the Court Ones did?? plus that wonderful rumbling sound when the autothrottles engaged in flight

BTW there were two other 'Court' colour scheme one was the half/half mod on the BMA 1-11 5-00 not sure which reg - Garry knows

Also the Court Navajo was painted a base beige with the court "hockey stick" colours.

Hi leif

The two One-Elevens you mention were BMA with Court tiles G-AXLM,N

I painted one of them.

G-AXLN with the added lines on the tail...XLM seems to have not had that, well not on the pics I have.

The two Court TriStars are included and I think repaints are not permitted.

First, Rick, I'm not sure what you're referencing for your comments, it's not clear.

But, since no-one put up pictures of the paints included I'll do that and let everyone be the judge -

Rick, if you reference my pics, he did Orange and Pink. Don't see any green or Beige in there.

CT..

I don't see any green either but orange and pink are slightly misleading for the two depicted (even though accurate for the real thing). The top one is (on my monitor at least) mustard yellow followed by beige then brown. The other is just vile!!

No green though.. not on those preview shots anyway

Well, looking at some of the available pictures, it's pretty close -

Also, here's what the reversers look on my computer-

Looks pretty correct to me.

Hi CT..

Problem is.. it's never particularly easy to reference from old shots like that where the lighting is often suspect. Shot1 looks more like it.. shot2 a lot less so and the final showing both shouldn't be used as it's obvious they're out of service and have sat there fading away.

I don't care for either to be honest!

Hi Chris. Its not what it looks like at the end, its the movement that looks wrong to me.

Thanks for posting the shots.

Chris

THose colours are worng

Poor balance......it was yellow and orange.

This is a little too strong but closer

http://www.algebra.com/algebra/about/hi ... .wikipedia

The wing should be in colour under and white or normal gray panel on top.

Court were white on top but that may not have applied to the 1011

The pink is not quite right either.

Infact it is more similar on the bottom at least to the lilac livery which was something else

Should be reddish orange underneath..

Similar but not quite like this
