Would like your opinions...cheers....Kenny

Looks good to me. But these colours don't need to be to presice. They could vary depending on who made the paint. I recall reading one article a while back that said a museum was restoring a 251. When they peeled of the paint, they found somthing like 3 different shades of dark Yellow.

Are you planning on giving it an oil wash, as that will make it darker.

I am a Norfolk man and i glory in being so

Looks like a good match to me Kenny. As Bish mentions it all depends on what you will do with it from here as to how it will end up, but it looks like a solid base to work with. Yes
