Mike Esposito Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 Correct. Good catch! The Swedish camo pattern looks identical to the Regia Aeronautica schemes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cometracer Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I think the later issue with Chinese markings is the more interesting- kind of makes a good "Dogfight Double" mate to a Nate or Oscar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think P-35s were purchased by the Chinese Nationalists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cometracer Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 Wow! You're right. I need to be more careful, I was thinking Lancers - the latest release is with Chinese markings and I immediately thought of that. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Esposito Posted February 16, 2021 Share Posted February 16, 2021 (edited) I think were getting a new 1/48 Curtiss/Wright CW-21 interceptor soon! That WAS used by the Nationalists! 😁 Edited February 16, 2021 by Mike Esposito 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The box art does look spectacular - I'll have to really think about which version of this to get. Didn't really have the Swedish paint scheme on my radar but it would certainly stand out in any collection.

I think this has been pointed out before, but the insignia - Dora Wings instructions to the contrary - did not appear on the upper surfasce of the wings until the European war was ending. Best reference is the MMP Swedish Fighters Vol 1 book. The size of the lower wing roundel was to insure no friendly fire accidents. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, there are also camo schemes where there is only natural metal and not the black/white undersides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be doing '35' without the upper wing insignia as there's a nice picture in the MMP book from summer '43 and the upper wing insignias were not added till late '44.

Quite right There should not be any insignias on top of the wings for marking option 3-4. I was was a bit questionable about the black and white wing markings for the first option, but I found good pictures on that airframe in the J 9 book, so that is correct. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats interesting information. However could I still put the upper wing ones on if I dated the finished model as early 1945? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithjs Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes thats true of course. Wonder where I would find that out. If not I'll have to do '8'. Thanks anyway. Mind you, whatever one I do in that scheme it'll take a bit of practice...There are some nice ones online for inspiration tho'.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be hard to fine out, but at least no one could prove you wrong then 😉 I think one important think with the camo is getting it consistent, especially if you are going to do it in more than one sitting.

keithjs Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Yes, thats the photo I've seen although the one I have shows the underneath of the wing too. Does the kit give a date for that one BTW? There are loads of photos all over the net (some in colour too) so no shortage of information out there. This for example including a photo with one with smaller roundels. Not sure what the underside colours would be tho'? https://www.reddit.com/r/Warthunder/comments/k1bwu2/seversky_j9/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure which airframe you are referring to on that page , but if you mean 'E, 8' it looks like a grey underside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since it's got the code letter it's post later '44 so I'm guessing it would not have the black and white wings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithjs Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 Ah right. That's one book I haven't got and I see it's really expensive now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
