keithjs Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 Can anyone provide me with any idea of the colour for anti glare panel and spinner of this Mustang please? I've drawn a complete blank unless I've not been looking hard enough... It certainly doesn't look like yellow as per some other aircraft of the squadron. Oh, and any chance of a serial number too....... Many thanks in advance. All help appreciated. mustang-04_sm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gingerbob Posted March 3, 2019 Share Posted March 3, 2019 I don't know- if you compare the yellow in the roundel ring the shades do look about the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DennisTheBear Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 To me (no expert by any stretch) the photographed aircraft looks to have a yellow spinner but standard camo on the front of the fuselage. DennisTheBear Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyot Posted March 4, 2019 Share Posted March 4, 2019 It isn`t obvious but most aircraft in 442 Sqn also had a yellow outline to the codes,..... here are a couple of my models; Good luck with your model, Cheers, Tony 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seawinder Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 Why on earth would they use yellow for the anti-glare panel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
