I need to know what shade/colour of red is used for foreign object guards in the RAF.   It appears an orangy-red colour in the photos I have.   Is that correct or would it be more of a fire-engine red?

It's a fair bet that orangey-red colour you describe is BS381 -537 Signal Red.

The trouble is that they're outside in all weathers, and the red tends to fade quite a bit.

On the other hand that also means that ANY Shade you pick will be right on a particular day....  ;D
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

Kit, true enough but it helps to start from the right basis.  Thanks for the tip, AndrewJ.
