Silver Fox Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'm building a Canberra B2 of 75 Squadron RNZAF in Malaya around 1959. The Model Alliance decals give Light Aircraft Grey as the underside colour but I think this is far too early and High Speed Silver is correct. Any thoughts?

Jennings Heilig Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I'd go with HSS. LAG wasn't used until much, much later than that. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Fox Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 Thanks for your replies chaps, that was my view as well. I always think of HSS on Hunters until the mid sixties and the RNZAFs B(I) 12 were delivered in 1959/60 in overall HSS, but 75 Squadron flew leased Canberras I just wanted to ak the well informed people here if it was possible.

Dave Fleming Posted June 28, 2009 Share Posted June 28, 2009 LACG was introduced in 1966 because there wasn't an aluminium paint available in Polyurethane finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Fox Posted June 28, 2009 Author Share Posted June 28, 2009 As late as 1966, gosh I though it was about 1964. Thanks for that just what I needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
