Beacon color

[jackpot76]

I have seen people do it both ways, but the beacon on the jet pack for ESB looks to me solid metal in the movie shots. But I have seen members paint the top section black. The photos I have seen of ESB might be decieving because it is lit up and you may not be able to see if it is painted at the top. Anyone know for sure from maybe prop photos?

Noone knows?

Can't help on ESB buddy, sorry.

It looks like it is all silver on ESB, but the aosw have some black on it.

I think it's all silver.

 

[jackpot76]

OK..well thanks for your input..it looked all silver to me on screen shots also.

I've wondered that too... on the AoSW/MoM packs, they have the top and middle section black (weathered) Before the ESB HS grabs, the beacon on the ESB pack looked like a different shape entirely sometimes. The first shot the ESB beacon middle looks black, the second shot here it looks all silver... who knows? I like the black/silver look, but accuracy is really what I'm shooting for. Anyone else got an opinion?

Keep in mind that the top of the beacon is brass.

I wonder if it's just a shadow in the recess of the becon's shape.

Missed this the first read through

No, I agree with you, aluminum body with painted black top, but go back and look at any of the beacons we have good shots of the top and you will see it is brass under that dark paint.

Hmmm....In the last pic posted......that looks like silver body with a dark brass top to me. Man, that is one bright light light they have in there though isn't it??? Good observations guys!!!

 

[Art Andrews]

Here are photos of the brass top.. First, I assume everyone already knows there are two completely different beacon tops, right? Next, while both tops are painted, you can clearly see the brass showing through the scratches and inside.

 

[Mojo Fett]

Doh!
Great heads up guys...
