Henderson colours

Hi Ken, thanks for your helpful advices on phone and in e-mails when I was facing problems with my Henderson.
If you like the colours on my De-luxe I can provide the codes. I got this paint mixed by adding colours to some availiable car codes.
Personally I think it came out well.
Please note that the cream or ivory wheels are changing their colour a lot in the sun, the second picture`s rearwheel is what it looks like in real.




Kind regards
Sverre
