Hi all - so on Saturday, I bought, on a whim, the new 1/48th Airfix B-1 kit ( which looks like lovely kit BTW). Now not being a builder of "enemy" aircraft per se I spent a wee bit of time looking for something a little unusual to finish this in, and was drawn to a few photos of the B-0 version, or to be more exact in fact the V7 prototype. It looks as though this was pretty much exactly the same as the B-1 ( well good enough for me anyway), and the lure of the Stuka in the classic 3-colour pre-war splinter scheme with the large, and very menacing red tail band with white circled Swastika emblazoned on it seems to promise an interesting looking model.
I just have 2 problems - namely - does anyone know where I might find a pattern for the 3 colour splinter scheme ( was it the same as the A versions?), and does anyone know what the typeface was used for German civil registration lettering - as the prototype has thee on the fuselage sides and under the wings.
Cheers
