| David Duckett | 23-Aug-09 05:34 | | Tissue and peel & stickers |
| David Duckett | 23-Aug-09 07:49 | | The tissue is in 20" x 30" sheets and there are 2 tan and 1 each of green and gray. The Roundels are 3" for the red and blue ones which go on the top of the wings, 2 1/2" for the red, white, and blue equal widths which go on the bottom of the wing, and 2 3/8" for the ones with the yellow outer band which go on the fuselage. On these the yellow is a gold color which is wrong. I'll trade the tissue to Scigs30 for decals. I'm sure he can put it to good use and I'll be covering with heavy grade silkspan as usual. About the decals: Guillows decals for the Spitfire have the big red and blue roundels for both top and bottom of the wing and I think that's wrong. Both my Spitfire and Sea Fury from West Wings have different roundels for the bottom, as does my Typhoon from Guillows and this Hurricane. |
| FLYBOYZ | 23-Aug-09 11:30 | | yes Ive notice that on my 3 spitz!The plastic scale models has the white roundels with reds dots in the middle and the guillows has blue roundels with red dots.I wonder why this is? |
| poppy | 03-Oct-09 06:37 | | During WW11, The Brits used the large blue with Red center roundels on top of wings and the smaller blue white and red on bottom. The bottom and side roundels changed during the war from the large white ring to a narrow one. Same was true on the yellow fuselage ring, from large to small. The Mossie and Beaufighter had no bottom wing roundels. The set shown have both the early and late style roundels. |
