Curtiss Shrike – Part Three – Army Green

” Is That Olive Drab? “

Yes it is.

” Is that the correct shade of Olive Drab? “

No, it isn’t. There is no correct shade of olive drab – it is a fluid, melding hue that goes from light pink to deep violet depending upon the phase of the moon. It was a paint shade devised to trap the unwary and to expose them to ridicule. Read the Britmodeller forum on the internet and stare into the pit of olive drab madness.

” And is that the proper colour for an aero engine? “

It is for this one.
