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.

Glad to assist with 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.
