Look at the links I provided regarding the restoration.

Paint analysis bridge



Paint analysis lights



As already mentioned the bridge was reddish brown and the lights geen

I see nothing wrong with the 1c teams modelling of the bridge for the time span its intended

I'm starting to feel all this bridge detail hunt a little exaggerated. What's next, a request for progressive weathering of the bridge paint ? Priorities ...

No no... the colour of the pilot socks will be the next discussion ... nothing new on this forum about discussions

Don't be daft, they didn't wear socks.

Woman's underwear perhaps, but socks absolutely not.

The bridge was painted 'Thames Blue' during the war...

I doubt if the Thames has been blue since the Romans arrived. A muddy brown with the occasional dead dog would be closer...

LoL..OK then: it was painted a muddy brown, but they changed it after too many dogs ran straight into the river .

The model looks fine to me, by the way. I think there is absolutely no need to alter it.

Wadda ya mean, Romans? That mud is good natural mud, not pollution (mostly, even now), and it's been like that since long before the Romans.

Hi Oleg,

Here in Marseille, we also had a bridge destroyed by the Germans in 1944.

Maybe you could use the attached pictures for creating a mission over Marseille ... who knows

The bridge was painted 'Thames Blue' during the war so that it could not be spotted from above by enemy aircraft, but it was later changed back after far too many civilian vehicles drove straight into the river.
