Hi, I am doing now Persian Audax, intending to do in WWII markings from short war during Soviet-British invasion of Persia in 1941. The main question is about details of painting scheme. There is classic painting scheme published in Profile publication on Audax (I have both profiles from net, so I hope I can them here): .The same machine is subject of painting scheme in Kora Miidels resin kit: There are important deifferences between them (starting from the blue or sand band on fuselage, position of numbers, wing tips on upper wing etc, shade of blue etc...) The profile on Audax is much older and for sure must be known to people from Kora - so is suggests that their re-impretation of painting scheme in newer and thus perhaps better. Some detail work against it - the cowling in Kora model is like in Nisr or Hart B4 whereas in Persian Audaxies, since they originaly were equipped in US engines they got cowlings leter, during re-equipment to Bristol engines and were deeper (almost no collector is seen from the side). So it is better done in Profile publication. On the other hand they have skid not tail wheel (plus for Kora). They have also wind electric generator on starboard (opposide to MG) - omitted on both profiles.... My second question is about bombs used in Persia in 1941. It is said, that Persian Audaxes were attacking military columns of Brittish army. I expect that it was done with some bombs. On box art of Kora model Audax carry (or rather just droping) four bombs (50 kg?). On photos which I have found in net the provisons for bomb racks is seen, but nothing about the bomb themselves. Cam anybody answer my questions? Or perhaps just comment, please... Best regards Jerzy-Wojtek EDIT P.S. Here is nice photo showing different Towdend ring cowling: http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/MY/MY73-7/55-1.jpg and here is wind genarator seen: http://aviadejavu.ru/Images6/MY/MY73-7/54-1.jpg And here a line of Furies is described as Audaxies http://www.whq-forum.de/invisionboard/lofiversion/index.php?t27915-1400.html And here another two photos showing deeper cowlings and one shot of model of Audax described as photo of real things - but Fury.... A lot of confusions there
