mahavelona Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hello everyone, I recently picked up the lovely 1/48 Dora Wings Vega Gull kit. I was fascinated by the image posted by Dave Fleming in the Rumourmonger forum. What a stunning aircraft! I want to appeal for any information people may have about the airframe. This colour scheme, apparently repainted in late 1942 at Alexandria, looks like a Coastal Command type scheme to me - Extra Dark Sea Grey/Dark Slate Grey upper with white underside. At some point in 1942 the aircraft wore a different scheme... https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fabpic.co.uk%2Fpictures%2Fview%2F1740762&data=04|01||91b2b09d696744c1be8b08d8da4581e2|84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa|1|0|637499340399041724|Unknown|TWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D|1000&sdata=drm85o%2FMQJlB%2FYln%2Bj5WrcqP2aXsH%2BbEAu6kV%2BzcoWc%3D&reserved=0 I won't be modelling this scheme but wonder if the fact it bore underwing roundels here allows a reasonable speculation that the other scheme sports underwing roundels. Does anybody have any information about the airframe's usage, colour schemes or just interesting speculations? Would appreciate any thoughts. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
