jgood | 04-Nov-09 07:35 | Other than it's for 'identification', I'm not sure. Apparently there was an anti-icing paste that had to be applied in some weather, but that was darker than the bright yellow we paint on our models. I bet somebody on here has more info (Dad?!) Source. |
poppy | 04-Nov-09 17:28 | ID markings. Head on these looked like BF-109's. Almost all single engined Brit planes in European theater had these. Some Japanese aircraft also for same purpose. |

What a great model this is :-) |
