Title: Colour Scheme
Post by: mick131 on August 27, 2007, 04:54:24 PM
I'm getting way ahead of myself here but am already thinking of a colour scheme for my finished project !!.

I hope that I have set this poll up OK, so could you give me some idea ??. I've been around to Wayne's today and have been thrown out by a model of an Air France 131......too many choices? ??? ??? ??? ???.

Both those links are the same Mick! ;D

Anyway,after 30 seconds on the yahoo search ;),here's the air france colours:-

And the olio fiat colours:-

Out of those 3 choices,i'd go for the air france colour scheme as it seems to be the least common of the 3.
The Alitalia and the olio fiat colours look great too but have been done to death.
That's only my opinion of course. :D

Oh bugger...I'm no good at this computer lark am I  ::).

Cheers for that mate, seems weird seeing you this aft and then chatting on here !!. I think you may be right about the colour scheme though, it is different.

Sorry or Not  ??? ???
I have never seen an on the road version of the air france and i think it looks great  :)
Im all for originality but there are a fair few copies of the alitalia design and the olio fiat car but as i said I have not seen an air france version -So I have voted air france -But then they did destroy concorde didnt they  :'( :'(

If I had to choose, I did it the French way. Or the model with the blue and red color scheme? It drove the 1979 San Remo Rally.
Solido has made a lovely kit from this model.

I think the Rothmans livery looks real smart and much better on the Abarth than the RS2000.

Never seen a Rothmans 131.

I remember from the mid 80's to the early 90's the Rothmans GP Bikes with riders such as Australia's Wayne Gardner and Britain's Roger Burnett.

Great time for bikes as well as cars.

I had never seen one in this livery either, but it looks well smart.
