All-
Okay folks, question time! As work progresses on a scale model build of my Grandfather's B-17G from the 96th BG, I am curious about some colors on the real plane. The blind landing equipment antenna (directly in front of the astrodome) appears to be a different color than the obvious natural metal. I think it might be red, just like the nose band. It doesn't appear to be black, or olive drab. What say you? I think it's been painted red, but I have no clue really. Any input would be much appreciated! Here's a few photos:
