AUS carrier engine colour
 

Hi,

I have my motor out and was wondering if any one can tell me the correct color for the motor? I have also been told the gearbox was green?

Thanks

Darren,

I'm not sure if its the same for the Aussie engine color, but as I understand the original color on the the Canadian Carrier was a dk green color, the same color as the Ford civilian production colors. When the engine was replaced or overhauled by RCEME it was re-painted Grey. Same goes for the transmission. I understand this was a post war thing.

What is that rack/box thingie for on top of the engine deck?
