Monty Python Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 IIRC, I have read somewhere that ZE355/S only had the tiger stripes applied on one side of the rudder when it was at the Tiger Meet in Italy. Anybody out there confirm this? Also, did this have the back seaters periscope fitted at the time in question. Toying with doing this one from the ZM F-4J Marines kit as I have a pot of xtracolour X127 standing idle. TIA Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 No stripes on the starboard side, as shown in this picture taken during that Tiger Meet http://www.vmas.it/VMAS_vecchio_sito/FAB40/ZE355.jpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Python Posted January 7, 2019 Author Share Posted January 7, 2019 Thanks for that. Glad to know I’m not going daft and I was correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flying Leathernecks Decals Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 I have photos of ZE355 with the stripes on the starboard side. Unfortunately, I can't share the few that were sent to me, but this one was found in a Facebook group (unknown photographer) : 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Python Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 That’s interesting as it shows the tiger stripes on the starboard side and the tigers head on the nose. According to one book on 74 sq, the nose art came off on the flight home as it was quickly applied on the base in Italy with non standard paint.
