[quote=Jasate;204310]Atleast I finally realized the G-10 in the background could actually help and it even looks like a 74/75/76 Erla-scheme (With 74 matching the front of cowling, but is the spinner 22 or 70?
Another possibility.

What if the appearance is down to it being in excellent condition?
Everything else on the plane looks fairly battered

Yea, I don't know how I feel about it. My perception of '65 is that it's a fairly bright, "happy" blue

The wheels themselves. The hubs look to be lighter than i'd usually expect.
I've only just picked up on what looks like a demarcation line on the forward cowl ring. Could that be a reflection of whatever is behind the camera? It's a single piece of metal (I think?) there is no "convenient"/intuitive reason to paint the bottom half in a darker colour.
My first impression was that it's all natural metal, though how about 75 over 76.....but re-attached upside down?
