Greetings!

	Apologies not necessary.  As far as your models go, you are the best
judge of the colors in spite of any handicap.  Paint them to your
satisfaction - as can be seen, the final word is not in on the prototype
and as much as we might want to *think* we know the final word, we
don't!
	I didn't receive Bruce's photo - was it inside - this will contribute
to some of the darkness.
