Hi chaps!
Long time not entering the forum. Hope you're all doing well. I returned to two of my old loves, gliders and scratch-building. Didn't know about Sergei Korolev's stint as a glider designer and got pleasantly surprised by his designs. I'm finding it hard to settle the colour of the SK-5. There were two schemes, the first one allegedly in red and yellow (very much like the SK-3); the second one is a mistery for there's no mention of it anywhere. Just the one I want to portray, since it will make a nice counterpoint to the SK-3 when I get to build it.
First scheme - Red and yellow:
The second one:
Could it be Silver and Azure Blue? i don't recall grey being used at the time. And silver dope looks greyish in many a photo of the era.
It's a mistery I want to unravel, if at all possible.
Thanks in advance!
P.S./
Just when you post something, you find another picture you didn't know
Could it be the Blue Grey used from 1927 to '37? Or a very light blue?
Food for thought.
