    Anyone know what color Soryu's fuselage band is suppose to be? I see it modeled in a light blue all over the place. I have seen the color stated as both a "Royal blue" and "Black" band. I could see how a royal blue could be mistaken for a black and how a black might fade out to a bluish color in the sun. Any help you can give would be appreciated.

    Thanks Joe

    OK that narrows it down to three colors. Any takers that want to narrow it down to one or two?
