Ever seen one of these?

Hi there

While at a model show today, a fellow had a question about a model HUP he was building. He asked, if it was in service in 1942, what colour would it be? I told him, SCC No.2 more than likely. He then pulls out this book flips it open to the correct paint chip and says 'Like this?"

'Uh, yeah, I said, just like that'

Anybody else seen this book lately?

Nope.

I suspect you weren't able to pry it away from his cold, dead fingers, then?

Hi there

I"ve been promised it in the fellows will.

He's 10 years younger than I am, but still, it was a nice jesture.

He got if from his mom, who was a life-long librarian and archivist who always saved things she may have thought would come in handy some day.

I took digital photos of each page, but at some point I hope to borrow it long enought to make proper scans.

A book like that is worth it's weight in gold... or oil!
Certainly well worth being re-printed and flogged off to the modeling and MV buffs around the world!
