Red Bull RB4 - Brasil "Wings for life" version, white color?

Post by Reutemann »

Friends,

starting new model build - 1/20 David Coulthard version of RB4 with special "WIngs for life" livery, I have doubts about base white color of the car.
From reference materials, it looks like the livery color is not pure white, but some kind of very light cream/racing white or somewhat...
Especially in contrast with extra white stripes on the sides of nose... :roll:
I am still not decided what color to choose...!!!

Is there anybody with experience?

Thanks for any kind of help
Carlos

Picture was taken with daylight a (light) cloudy day (i mean white cloud not those dark clouds before rain). The part is laying on a white A4 sheet of paper. Note that with the orientation to the light, cream could look really more lighter. Note taht the stripes are brown (not so dark). Front wing is also brown.
Many sites can sell you genuine parts of F1s !!!! You can also find some on the bay.

It is the air exhaust on the top of the side pontoon. Tamiya AS-16 is a perfect match to the original part.

My color questionary is going further, as I face a decision which color to apply on front wing upper part and front nose colour...
My tip is: Maroon TS-11

Any suggestions?

TS11 can do the job even if it looks lighter than the sidepods stipes of the decal sheet.
