Just out of intrest why should S Grey paint his aircraft as you all say? Even we don't know what his exact intentions are until he has made up his own mind. With some aircraft we try and give them their original colours ie the Mk9 and Mk5 Spits. of the 4 rebuilds you asked about I can only say about one project and that is the Sea Fury, ( and that is open to change ). We have researched the colour scheme for a Fury from HMS OCEAN in the Korean conflict, the aircraft is that of Lt Philips, one of the flight of 4 that got the Mig. Usual Korean markings with bar codes etc, 125 bombing missions indicated, ships badge one side and sqdn badge the other side also a red star along with pilot and crew names etc. 2 years on and off by a volunteer has gone in to researchin the correct scheme and markings and stencil positions.
