400 Woody progress and colour opinions

[David C]

The pictures are very useful, thank you. I much prefer the green to the burgundy.

The green my 403 is painted is slightly softer than shown on the screen. It is as close as we could find to the original 1952 colour behind the grille mounting on our 401 so I would say appropriate to period.

I have always felt that light colours look better on the 400 and the aerodynes. As you say, metallic brings out the shape of the curves.

Interesting a few people have mentioned the Morris Traveller - some to say how well cream goes with the wood and others to say we shouldn't paint the 400 that colour or it will look like a Morris Traveller.
