Col.
I have the book and I missed it! coded White 1+– 74/75/76. Yellow wing tip from the band out. Yellow under the cowl and yellow rudder. However, the under-cowl looks far darker (near black) than the wing tips and tail, and given the tips and under-cowl are in similar light. Could the under-cowl be red or painted out with RLM 70 or black? And could the spinner be white and red, as the back part is lighter than the 70 blades.
