    It's looking good Paul. Not ever having seen the color of the lamps before I really don't know what colors they're suppose to be. I would assume, ( and we all know what that does) that they would be red, green, and yellow. But I'm just guessing.

    The instructions for my Corsair call for red, green and yellow, but I wonder if it would be more stop light orange?

    From the sound of it, the colors and order were changed peroidically. So technically any order is correct!
    Right?

    Yep, you've got the order correct - reading from the front = Red, Green, Amber (stop light orange).
    The actual display sequence was governed by the Colours of the Day Order, which changed at least two or three times in a 12 hour period, the times pre-notified in the Order. The sequence of lights shown, when required, was controlled by the I.D. Lamps switch in the cockpit, allowing, for example, flashing Red, or maybe steady Red/Amber, or flashing etc etc.

    My poly-cap for the propeller possibly got misplaced...I figured that this was no time for pointing fingers, this was time for action!
    Quickly remembering some Monogram instructions from my childhood, I heated a small screwdriver and, bingo bango bongo, Bobs yer uncle.
