Corsairfoxfouruncle Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I am working on a 1/72 Airfix Tomahawk with markings for 73 Squadron in the P-40 STGB. I have only found this ⬇️ one photo of them. https://www.asisbiz.com/il2/Hawk-81A/RAF-73Sqn/pages/Curtiss-Tomahawk-IIB-RAF-73Sqn-AK490-Wykeham-Barnes-Egypt-1941-01.html I have seen plenty of Hurricanes both in the Battle of France, Battle of Britain, and in Palestine in 73 markings. Does anyone know how long they operated the Tomahawks ? Does anyone have more than the single photo ? How accurate are the markings ? Otherwise i may just go with one of my backup options 3 RAAF or 403 RCAF. Dennis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Looks like they only operated from Sept. - Nov. '41 http://www.historyofwar.org/air/units/RAF/73_wwII.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fubar57 Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Iliad Design decals do markings for the aircraft in you photo. I've heard they are very good with research. Maybe contact them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnd Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This is Tony O'Toole's build of it showing his take on the colours and markings. John. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
