No.19 Wireless Set Color?
Posted by stikpusher on Wednesday, January 14, 2015 11:21 AM
I have been doing some image searches of the No.19 Wireless set. I am interested in the colors used on these during WWII. The faceplate of the radio seems to be gray? What particular shade is used? Bodies are a darker color. Black? SCC 15 Olive Drab? SCC 2?

Yes, I have done that, as said in the opening of my original post. I was curious to see if anybody knew which particular shade of gray is used. It sort of looks like Medium Sea Grey to my eye in image searches. I was just hoping for a more definitive answer. Google is my friend and I probably spend many hours just wandering image searches before coming here to ask my questions.

I'd just keep it simple, for the main body use the same colour as the vehicle exterior.

Here's the radio set I had done for my Stuart.  I relied on google too, and mixed a light bluish grey for the face:

Yeah, worst case, I will go with Testors Sea Grey Medium faceplate and vehicle body color for the rest of  the exterior, SCC 2 or SCC 15 depending upon the time period.

That looks pretty sharp there Jack. Is that the AFV Club M3A3?

Good eye there Stick, that's exactly the kit, but  it only had an American radio set, so took the 19 set from a Valentine kit.

I had finished it late last year as a Canadian Stuart V for the D-Day GB.  In the end though, radio wasn't visible for colour to matter. Stick out tongue

regards,

Jack

Right.... I have a couple of open topped vehicles and some Bronco Commonwealth Accessory Set No.19 sets,, so I am just getting all the research done. I remember the M3A3 build... Very nicely done! I have that kit in my stash to do one day...
