jwvolz Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share #31 Posted April 22, 2020 52 minutes ago, Roger Pellett said: Red stripe and yellow wingtip? Quite possible, which would be the reverse of the Mustang, which has the red outboard. Hard to tell from the photo above. The foreground aircraft "VV" clearly shows a lighter color outboard of the (likely) red. It could be RAF Sand or it could be yellow. The port wing has the Dark Earth right up to the stripe forward of the aileron, but a hard cut-off and none outboard. I wonder... Sand and yellow would look very similar in black and white. This page shows all the variations: http://www.wwiiaircraftperformance.org/31st/31planes.html Here's the Mustang with the red outboard of the yellow.

jwvolz Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share #35 Posted April 24, 2020 Decals are complete. There aren't a ton so it went reasonably quickly. Eagle Strike decals are very nice to work with and respond well to the Micro Scale finishing system of Micro-Set and Micro-Sol. Next up, another gloss coat to seal them in preparation for a panel line wash. GrandpaPhil, ASAT, popeye the sailor and 10 others 13 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.

jwvolz Posted April 24, 2020 Author Share #40 Posted April 24, 2020 Thanks Ken. Still always looks odd to me in other than RAF markings. I built an RAF Mustang in the past as well, and that one always looks funny to me as well. I'm just conditioned to seeing certain aircraft look a certain way. mtaylor, Edwardkenway, Egilman and 4 others 7 Quote Joe Volz Current build: Model Shipways "Benjamin W.
