Superfast baseplate colours v RW & YY

[Rob]

This thread is for displaying SF baseplate colours so that we can compare them with regular wheel colours and decide if the same paint was used in both eras. Please show a photo of a SF models baseplate and if you have any RW suggestions that you think are the same paint then please also show a photo of that model.

Could we please have just one baseplate colour/post? (This will make it easier for Members to respond to specific baseplates.)

Are we absolutely sure that these are exclusively RW colours?

They look very much like MoY colours from 69/70ish.

A few examples: -

Y-2 Renault = 52 Dodge green metallic
Y-1 Ford Model T = 52 Dodge red
Y-3 1910 Benz = 24 Rolls-Royce green metallic / 32 Maserati Bora lime
Y-14 Maxwell = 41 Ford GT light aqua green
Y-7 Rolls-Royce = 24 Rolls-Royce silver-grey
Y-16 Spyker = 50 Kennel Truck / 69 Rolls-Royce dark and light yellows

While I'm at it, what about these model colours?

Y-6 Renault = 12 Land Rover / Setra dark and light golds
Y-10 1906 Rolls-Royce = 42 Iron Fairy Crane lime boom

Quite a few more that I can't recall right now.
