The Pearl is painted.

The bottom color is royal blue. The top color is polychromatic, mostly displaying blue, green, black and sometimes purple. This doesn't show up through the digital camera. Background is a bright white. Background of the airport is a brighter white.

The color is similar to the "20" on the lower right of a $20 bill. Same with the $50, but I haven't seen many of those after paint and annual.


I was going to install an oversize prop until I saw the aircraft in the background. *



* The aircraft in the background is the only surviving one of 6 prototype Osprey aircraft.



Since the polychromatic paint didn't show up on the jpeg camera, I decided to do the "take out the FIR filter and add an IR filter" thing to my camera. So here are the results.
