Jan Jacobs was there at the time of the conversions. Jan ran the Smoke Trails (Phantom) mag.
I would really like to see a high quality photo that clearly shows the upper wings....

Till the day somedomebody comes up with a colour photo .....
-
I have dug out my notes on this. Listed by John Griffin as RCAF drawing 2658 'operational Badge'.
The Griffin notes do not infer exactly that this is a wartime or an immediate post war official use roundel (- which I would have known about).
I have no such official drawing. When I look the drawing number, I get the inventory card for a Harvard.
....the colours are;
outer ring Blue 2-206,
inner surface Blue Azure
leaf Red 9-202
veins Black 10-201
I do see 19 different colour standards used between 1920 and 1965 ....
So if I live long enough I just may get to cover the post Great War up to 1947 period.. but there are thousands of pages of notes

now if only I could find a Dutch NF-5 expert ....

Hi there:
I have had one of these in my hands before - likely the same one. It was kept by John Griffin, and is currently stored at CFB Winterpeg. I remember the leaf as red. I did photocopy it when John Griffin loaned me his 25 binders of notes in Ottawa way back in time when I copied the lot. He kept notes on all of this sort of 'stuff' going back to the Imperial gift, including cloth samples from 504K etc. I really wish I had done a bunch of them in colour (but then I could go on about colour interpretation of machines at length!!!). All his notes were used by myself in the writing of a book on the topic of RCAF post war finish and markings "ROYAL CANADIAN AIR FORCE - Aircraft Finish and Markings 1947 - 1968". There is a Vol 2 as well. This peal and stick roundel was also used on RCAF trucks, equipment as well as aircraft. I do have a full size photocopy as well so it cannot be wider than 8 1/2 inches - but it is close....

So if am seeing this correctly - there is no new tool 1/72
the F-35B is a starter kit thing - right? Are there not two kits of this out there already?
Everything in 1/72 is a reissue or change a few parts, new decals.
Where are the people with those 1/72 wish lists for, B-24, P-47, Corsair, Lysander etc. Not one new tool 1/72 !!! Airfix you are leaving a lot of us behind.

So all Airfix have to offer in the 1/72 new tool in 2023 is a starter kit (42 parts) of the F-35B !!!!!! Tamiya and Italeri already do a serious 1/72 F-35B - so no serious 1/72 new tool at all!!!! First time in how many years?
Really!!???!!!! It is time to replace the staff that make decisions.
Everything else is a rebox or change of parts.... very disappointed

Calling all Frightning fans - Has anyone done or seen drawings or charts, suggesting different metals names/titles for different panels on the bare metal Lightnings? Sort of a paint by numbers guide?

looks like 9026, YO-X
Chris
I believe this is 9025, from the Bradley papers "Bolingbroke Mk. IV - 9025 YO*X (Damaged an oleo and supporting frame while landing at Kodiak, Alaska on 19 January 1943. The aircraft was repaired)" and "9025 (Taxied into parked Canso 11017, No. 4 (BR) Squadron, on the ramp at Patricia Bay on 18 August 1944. The aircraft was repaired. The starboard landing gear failed while taking off from Patricia Bay on 28 September 1944. The landing gear was retracted and the Bolingbroke was allowed to settle to the runway. The aircraft was repaired)"

Shameless plug – but have you seen the recent AirDoc F-105 Thunderchief book?

XV424 did not carry its serial on the forward facing nose gear door, XV486 did and while at CFB Goose Bay was zapped by Canadian Armed Forces personnel, receiving a small CAF roundel on the forward facing nose gear door in the lower loop of the number eight. Although later a photo of both aircraft together at one point, was taken without a serial on the nose gear door.

Guys, this is a bit of a cheeky one, because I'm not in the build.
Are there any decals that show the Canada wordmark, the one with a flag near the last 'a'?
Preferably with word 'Canada' in red, and the flag behind that last 'a'.
I'm asking because I've messed up a decal like that, from a now out of print decal sheet.Just used - check if you are modelling the 'one ocean' or 'two ocean' wordmark first. Different sizes for different types.

Climbing up the hill where everything slowed down making a great place to shoot in the afternoon!

Just for the record - there are CF-104 and CF-104D - no such thing as a 'CF-104G' Common mistake carried on and on.

I like everything about this build. The metal work, the idea of the 'display', it is just right is so many ways - great work.

I can show you all sorts of bare metal Herks where the metal panels (tail, fuselage, nose, etc.) over the years appear very different in colour. Pick your subject go from that.

The colour Orange (fluorescent) 609-401 was changed to Red 609-401 on April 28, 1969, without a change to specification. This would have not have a visible change of appearance on painted aircraft, but was the cause of numerous drawing revisions. The colour was replaced by Red 38903 during FS.595 standard conversion.
