Seawinder Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I'm seeing both "WALKWAY FORWARD" and "WALK FORWARD" on various decal sheets. Similarly, "WALKWAY INBOARD" and "WALK INBOARD." I know the "WALKWAY" options are correct, but were the "WALK" options actually ever used, and if so, on which variants? FWIW, I'm currently putting decals on an early Mk. XVI.

Seawinder Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hmm, have I really asked a question to which there is no answer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spitfire Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 Hi Pip, not an expert, one may come around soon though, I have never seen a drawing with just "Walk" stencils on it I have just had a look at a Camouflage and Identification drawing for Spitfires and it states "Walkway inboard" and "Walkway forward".

Max Headroom Posted January 17, 2018 Share Posted January 17, 2018 This the port wing of the IWM Mk.I. It’s been untouched since 1945 apparently. Trevor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seawinder Posted January 17, 2018 Author Share Posted January 17, 2018 Thanks, Trevor. A very helpful diagram and a great photo, the latter of which supports another thought I've had: at some point the letter style for the walkway stencils changed from serif to sans serif. I've never been able to figure out exactly when, but I'm guessing sometime between Mk. V and IX. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
