This may have been asked before, so my apologies, but on the Hobby Master prototype for the Cunningham F-4J, dark grey paint s used on the upper air intakes. BBI's 1/32 VF-84 Jolly Rogers F-4J also used dark grey paint. But on Hobby Master's actual release, black paint was substituted for the dark grey.

Any explanation for the paint switch?

both black and grey used as walkway colours but mostly grey.
seems to be an individual sqn thing.

So Hobby Master's prototype grey paint was incorrect?

[zed550]

yes thats why it was corrected to black.

This has been discussed in the past-- Check out posts 46 through 49 of this string:

I believe the conclusion was that the black is probably right.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad Hobby Master is very thorough in their accuracy.
