Original pic Camo painted Vickers Gunbus
G'day All!
I came upon this pic of a Vickers Gunbus done in an early effort of a Camo paint job.
Whilst the pic is far from perfect I thought it might give our Shapways painters something different to try. Cant tell if the top of the wings were camo as well but the Nacelle & Tail certainly are.
Yep! I'll certainly bear that photo in mind when I come to do mine Barry.

Rob, do you have the Osprey Pusher Aces Book ?Originally Posted by Flying Officer Kyte
This pic is shown in it with some interesting details including the fact it has small Union Jack flags on the Rudder. You can just see part of one if you look hard.
I am doing mine with the top of the Top wing & Tail plane in camo as well as rudder & nacelle panel. Rest will be in CDL.
Will look different at least!
