| well executed paint job David - I love the blood orange color..
EDIT - when I saw these images on my laptop the color had a distinct orange tint - but on the PC monitor in my workshop it looks red. Guess I need to reset the laptop screen. |

| It's Cadmium Red Medium Hue, about as red as it gets. |

| it looks spectacular in red David! and I've reset my laptop color to default...
Have you got an image with that fabulous Williams Bros Wasp Jr featured? |

| Great job! Just curious, isn't this a Gee Bee Model Z? If so, wasn't that supposed to be yellow and black? |

| No photos featuring the Wasp but there will be more when it's finished. Yes, Gary, it is a Z model but I have said from the start that it would not be black and yellow. The first time I saw a Gee Bee it was an R model with red and white paint and that's how I like it. Course, it did not have black racing and registration. I do not like the yellow and black scheme and as I have said before see no obligation to paint it that way. I know many of you build models to represent a specific plane flown by a particular pilot but I do not. |

| Sorry. Hope I didn't offend. I was only curious as to the choice of colors. Beautifully done. |
