I didn't see this one when I was looking.

The old cigarette cards would be a source of information on colours to give some idea.

Whether "artistic " licence has been taken would be an unknown.

They were collectable, so I can only assumed they would be fairly accurate.

Sorry to hear of your mishap. I look forward to you returning to your tutorial.

 :) :) BTW the mishap Lou refers to is a kitchen flood which has currently stalled modelling until it is rectified. I still have all my fingers in case anyone was worried. Its just a bit much chaos to really sit down and enjoy modeling......

Lou and Gordon, thanks for assistance on the possible coloration of the Orta.

Just read your latest progress report. I never thought of using paper liner for the cockpit. Excellent approach.

Thanks. once you harden it up and seal it, it works just fine for certain things.

Here is a sneak peak of an engine cylinder for the Orta. it has an interesting configuration of valve train and exhausts (yes plural), which I'll show later in the tutorial. !/8" dowel x 5/16" long with soldered brass components added.

BTW, the two pushrods are painted silver and  mounted in tandem on the engine centreline.
