Re: [CBQ] Rapido SW1200

Nelson-

Take one photo of the prototype in your basement under identical lighting conditions…..

or take the photo of the models against the prototype in full sun.   Guarantee the colors will be different. 

The models should not be the same colors…the prototypes certainly were not!

Here you go. I took this photo under 5000 K lights.

 

Back Row, Left to Right: Model Flex repaint, BLI (recent issue), Stewart/Bowser

Front Row, Left to Right: Athearn, Rapido, Walthers P2K (recent issue)

 

The rest of the roster is packed, but I can tell you that some of the earlier BLI are dark like the Rapido with a hint of blue, and the Bachman S-2 is a ridiculous shade of light gray with a hint of brown. You’re seeing the best grays compared to the Rapido and BLI, the others are pretty close to correct to my eye.

Nelson, I would be interested in seeing a photo if you can post one.  The photo on the Rapido website of the CB&Q model I saw appeared to have been shot outdoors, which of course makes a difference in how the color is perceived.

 

thanks,
