Tony Whittingham Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Hello All, Is there a Spitfire 22 camouflage and markings diagram available anywhere? It seems to me that the roundel size for the low back Griffon Mk. 18 and Mk. 22 Spitfires are different from the wartime sizes. There’s a photo of TP235 in the Aircam book that leads me to think that 30” D type roundels were applied. Also some evidence of the smaller roundel in the photo of 2 squadron at Wahn in the same book. regards, TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giorgio N Posted August 27, 2020 Share Posted August 27, 2020 In theory the standard roundel size should have been 36" in all six positions... however there were several examples of Spitfire of various marks with different sizes. A combination that seems to have been common was 45" on the wings, 32" under the wings and 36" on the fuselage. I wouldn't be surprised to see other variations, particularly immediately after the introduction of the post-war roundel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonhoff Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 There's instructions available for the Special Hobby Spitfire 22 available on Scalemates, including a camouflage scheme. https://www.scalemates.com/kits/special-hobby-sh72127-supermarine-spitfire-f-mk22--102570 IanJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS_w Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 (edited) If similar to Mk 21, the camouflage drawing of Mk21(13.1.1944) indicates 32" at underside, 49" at topside and 36" on fuselage. 22.3.1949 36" at under & upperside 30" on fuselage (roundel without yellow border) Edited August 30, 2020 by BS_w 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Whittingham Posted August 30, 2020 Author Share Posted August 30, 2020 @BS_w Thanks, very much! Thats the one! I’ve just finished the build today, so your timing is perfect! I can’t quite read the centre line to Roundel centre dimension on the 1949 drawing. Would you be so kind as to let me know what that is? thanks, and regards, TW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BS_w Posted August 30, 2020 Share Posted August 30, 2020 on upperside, the c/l of roundel is at 13'5" from c/l of a/c Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
