Very nice engine an gen

I am just curious, Would of those been the original colors?

Thanks for sharing.

It would be pretty yellow if it was in a D8 :)

(Navy paint comes in 3 colors, gray, gray,  and gray)

I like the battery on the ground for scale, I dunno if people looking at the pic know just how honkin big those engines are ....

Very nice restore job :)

You forgot white for lettering & seamist green for office walls.

Did you make the fuel tank? If so, what was it in its previous life?

*This is the closest i could find to Navy stationary machinery grey.  While prepping it there was alot of grey under the sloppy yellow.  When i removed the crankcase breather a good large area of original grey was found,  I matched it to this color (Ford Gray) and left the original paint on the backside of the breather.  thanks.
