Dave Fleming Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 (edited) The discussion on Colin's new decals reminded me of something I recently discovered about RAF Neptunes. Only the first nine had the original short nose (Aero 9B), those arriving after that had the longer Aero 9C version. So all aircraft after WX902 had the longer nose. This was BEFORE the gun turrets were replaced, so beware if converting the Hasegawa kit with the Falcon set (or building the Aeroclub one!) as I beleive they both have the original short nose Short Nose http://www.verslo.is/baldur/p2/british/WX500_3_640.jpg Long Nose http://www.verslo.is/baldur/p2/british/WX505_A-J_a_640.jpg Side by Side http://p2vneptune.com/i06.shtml Colin's sheet is correct as WX500 has the short nose Edited June 13, 2007 by Dave Fleming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J35 Draken Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 That wouldn't usually be my thing but I think this'd make a really great subject, especially the second pic you posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
