I wnet through some articles and features in SAM and SAMI yesterday evening and the pictures printed - although b/w showed darker roundels than printed e.g. in Ventura sheet no. V7274. Hi Michael, For P40N's Ventura Sheet V7286 is very good colourwise for the Roundels V7286 I can't find any decent decals for RNZAF K/M's with Ventura Douglas SBD Dauntless (SBD-4/5) Ventura sheet V7274, the colours are wrong and the Wing Roundels for SBD-4 NZ5034 are missing the white bars, so are also wrong V7274 And for those who disagree about the wing bars, I suggest checking out NZ5034 in this photo link, you can clearly see the white bars on the wings Note dark colour of hand painted Roundels RNZAF SBD-4 NZ5034 RNZAF TBF Avengers To me Ventura got the Wing Roundel colours wrong, too light, They sort of got the colour right for the fuselage Roundels which should be US Insignia Blue/Insignia White, with the Insignia Red painted out with RNZAF Roundel Blue - blue is too light V7284 TBF Avengers The Newer 1/48 Set for RNZAF TBF's is a little better, but Main Roundel blue is still too light V48101 RNZAF Avengers Hope that helps Regards Alan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
