It seems that around 1927 De Havilland introduced the scheme commonly seen on DH 60 Moths (eg G-AAAA): colour curves around the nose and extends back along the top combing to the tail. Such as here: http://aviationancestry.co.uk/?advert/&advertId=7716 And here: This scheme pattern was also used on a number of other DH civil aircraft of the time: eg DH 61 Giant Moth (G-CAJT and G-AAAN) and the DH 71 G-EBQU...a perusal of the pages of Flight around this time to see Type Reports on DH aircraft with this scheme. Can anyone tell me if De Havilland had particular colour/s they used on their aircraft? Juanita

Chaps. Are the Amodel kits any good? Rick.

Hi A small break in review of my archive shelves. Today I would like to present my recent work - I've just finished her. This is De Havilland DH 60 G Gipsy Moth, s/n 1189, "Sarajevo" of Royal Yugoslavian Air Forces, 25th Hidroescadrila, based in Kotor Bay in 1941. She was delivered to RYAF in 1929 and as far as I found info - lost in campaign of May 1941. The model was made from A-Model kit of DH 60 G. Added Short floats are scratch build. The exhaust pipe is reshaped (it went deeper toward bottom on side of fuselage), I added rigings (thin styrene sprues), control cables and fuel pipe. I made my own windscreens - I was not able to use properly those provided by producer - they came too slopy. Serbian company Lift-here was producing decals in 1/72 for this machine in the past, but nowadays I was not able to buy it, they were sold out as I was informed by producent. So national markings are by Lift-here from my drawer, the DH Moth emblem below engine are hand painting, the escadrila emblem are sets of 6 pieces of decals each side, the inscription "Sarajevo" and in South Slavish version of Cyrilic - "Capajebo" and hand writing on decal. Those who like to do models in 1/48 may find interesting, that (I think Serbian) company Aeropoxy is producing Short floats and decals for this exactly mashine as conversion set for A-Model 1/48 DH 60 G. One more comment - my "bandwidth" in Photobucket is now 76% of month limit, reset time is 15th Feb., so please if my photos will dissapear they will be back after 15th. I am sorry for this incovenience... Since I want to shere ASAP I was not waiting for nice sunny weather and I did two photos with flesh and the rest is using 1 kW halogen lamp. The background of photos are views from Kotor Bay. I hope you like it. Best regards and comments welcome Jerzy-Wojtek P.S. and two from construction which I found now (July 2017) in my comp...
