Hi, I'm looking for information on "Little Duckfoot" (the B version) but not finding much, and the little bit I found is contradictory.
I have decals to build this one
However I can only find two photos of the aircraft, one of which looks like it does not have the Malcolm hood like in the color plate I'm basing the build on.
Unless I'm mistaken the Malcolm hood canopy slides open backwards whereas the razorback will flip open like in the above photo
In the second photo below I cannot see the canopy, however the yellow and red checkered strip on the nose seems to be missing, maybe just the lighting.
I can't find any info to indicate which is correct. I'm assuming the photos does not lie, and I can build it as a razorback, but there's other variables I cannot see in the photos like;
1. Does the invasion stripes on the fuselage go all the way around, or only bottom half?
2. Stripes on the wings on top as well, or only bottom?
3. Will the serial number be the same?
Maybe there were more than one pre-"D" model Duckfoot, as the font of the name is also not the same in the photos.
I believe the color plate comes from this site: http://wp.scn.ru/en/ww2/f/165/3/2 (bottom of page)
Though I do not know how reliable the source is.
Does anyone know more than this? It will be much appreciated.
