I think I know what you mean. Feel free to correct me. Best Regards Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blacktjet Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If you look close at photos, the demarcation on the left side has a downward kink while the right side has an upward kink. The modeldecal instructions don't show this and I have seen a few models with both sides painted identical. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ben Hartmann Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just now, Antti_K said: Hello Ben! Patrick Martin's book "British Phantoms, part two" has three photos of XV574 in special livery. It looks like the artist who made the picture you added to your post, used some "artistic freedom". None of the photos matches that paint scheme. Best Regards, Antti Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antti_K Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hello Ben! There is no photos of this paint scheme in "British Phantoms". So it looks like that the artist was actually doing a pretty accurate job (I wish they all would do that...). My mistake. Thank you for sharing this interesting photo. It gives also a very good sight on the fuselage shape. Best Regards, Antti 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
