I have a question about Blender that I would really appreciate some help with.

I have imported the OBJ parts of the W-19 vessel and the hull (and only the hull) is extremely dark in Blender. It looks fine in S3D and shows all parts at an equal brightness but in Blender the hull is dark but the guns, boats and forward mast are normal.

The model in S3D is made up of hull+rear mast, 4x boats, guns, funnel and forward mast.

I have added a temporary spotlight to the scene and I can see there is definitely texture on the W-19 hull while everything else is very bright.

I don't know if I have nudged something in Blender to do with that OBJ but even when reimporting the hull it is the same. All camera angles are affected.

What should I check first?

EDIT : It may be the object in S3D. Importing it into an empty blender file shows the behaviour only on the hull object. Re-exporting the hull from S3D shows the same behaviour. It is Node:2 3D model. Any ideas?
