Hi

   I am trying to find 1:32 decals for SA-Z, the typhoon with the black undersides

  I was sure I saw these in 1:32, but I cant find them anywhere

   Anyone know where i can buy them ? 

   cheers

Have you considered Xtradecals?  They don't do 1/32 red code letters, but perhaps their 1/48 sheet might work?  It's intended for bombers, so they might work out well for a 1/32 fighter.  Just a thought.

 

Personally, I am not concerned with having "evidence" persay, but I'd be interested in seeing a picture as it sounds like an interesting scheme - something I've not come across before.

Hi All

        Thanks for the replies

    I thought of 1:48 bomber decals but the ones i have dont quite seem the right size.

     Likewise i thought of masking, but the 'S' looks like it might not be so easy for me

   but looks like it is going to be my only choice 

   cheers

What is your evidence for the aeroplane having red squadron codes?

 

The artwork is based on a photo which was published in my article in MAM Dec 2006 and more recently In Airfix Mag. It clearly shows codes darker than the camouflage. Red codes were the norm on NF Hurricanes that 486 Sqn had been operating on Turbinlite operations and were expecting to continue.

 

Please note the error in the artwork. The port side view shows the Sky band continuing beneath the fuselage, which is incorrect. The other views are ok.

Hi All

        just a follow on question 

 

   the decals sheet for 1:48 eduard future release, shows two small yellow letter ' Z' 

 

  Just wondering where they would be located on SA-Z

 

  inboard of the cannons ?

Hello Jerry

I had some input on this one.  The yellow 'Zs' are for the wings of OV-Z, alternatives to the white ones, as the colour is not known. No letters on SA-Z's wings.
