From article <5402@mace.cc.purdue.edu>, by dil@mace.cc.purdue.edu (Perry G Ramsey):
> In summary, THREE colors          
> 1.  On the pad and in the first 2 minutes  WHITE
> 2.  On-orbit REFLECTIVE
> 3.  After reentry  DULL BROWN
Two thoughts:

1) Rockwell produced modelling plans for Apollo Soyuz Test Project, Shuttle
& ALT Shuttle/747, including colour schemes. Worth trying them to see if they
still do them & have revised them. Address is:

Rockwell International
Space Transportation Systems Division
12214 Lakewood Boulevard 
Downey
California 90241
USA

2) I am trying to make a 1/48 Monogram Gemini and am looking for colour
details. Particularly, what were colours of outside (Blue or Black ?),
cabin interior & pressure suits. Any really good references ?
