JackG Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 Has it ever been determined (or discovered) the formula used to determine the size of these markings found on the wings and fuselage? I can find diagrams that give a letter value of the base measurement as 'a' (or 'b' in the case of the upper wing), but nothing more. Code letter height is dependent on the the crosses, usually expressed as 6/10 or 60% or 0.6 X height/ width of the balkenkreuz. regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72modeler Posted February 21, 2020 Share Posted February 21, 2020 I vaguely recall a chart with various sizes expressed in mm on an old Microscale WW2 balkenkreuz decal sheet. I might have that one, and if I do, I can post it here, if you think it will be of use. Is there anything on the formula in any of the Monogram Publishing Luftwaffe color guides?

JackG Posted February 21, 2020 Author Share Posted February 21, 2020 (edited) Thanks Mike, yes I've seen some sizes posted dependent on the type of aircraft being discussed, but no explanation as to how the sizes were officially arrived at. I found these masks, but it would interesting to know the why: regards, Jack Edited February 21, 2020 by JackG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
