BEA livery colors please help
Posted by rabbiteatsnake on Wednesday, January 3, 2007 2:03 AM
I'm trying to do a dio of the last scene from "A hard days night" in 1/24th. The lads are chased by fans,(of course)into a waiting sikor H19(westland??). scratch building the helo does'nt scare me, but I'm unable to find any color ref for it, all I know is it's a light color.  I've checked the web no luck.  A link, a source, even an eyewittness account would help.

Now thats just the problem with assuming everyone knows what I'm saying. You see DAVEY even in the sixties some films came out in black&white, "A hard days night." was one of these.  Unless this color cross thingy (An instrument I must plead ignorance to.)can read a color through the fog of B&W better than I, I think I need to keep asking.  Thanks anyway for taking time to help a brother.

Not sure how much help it is but Aircraft in Miniature says they are working on an Argosy in BEA markings, I don't really have any idea what an Argosy or BEA is but I've seen my share of B&W movies including Hard Days Night but its been along time. Smile [:)]

Here is the site, no pics but maybe an email could get you some help with what you are looking for.

Hello Rabbiteatsnake,

Kinda-like Aaronw, I have no idea what BEA is while I do know what BAE is. I, as well, found  a BEA Agrosy prop job but under the title of "avia istorija" or aviaistorija.puslapiai.It/pki3 and scroll about 4/5ths page down. Maybe the paint job on this prop job will help in your search.  I turn 50 in 10 days and can say I've never seen this movie, I've never heard of this movie. I did see"Green Berets",starring Mr. Wayne, in 1970, while in Japan.       ...another mop-head flick that eluded me,darn...
