Dave Fleming Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 Thanks to Mr Haselden, I had an explore round the IWM site for interesting pics. Found these Tomahawk photos. One of interest is this shot of the Camera installation: http://beta.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205212751 Now this shot of three 26 Squadron ones was useful, as I'm building the Airfix kit as an aircraft from this squadron. It's quite a well known shot, and I'd noticed before that the closest aircraft is in 'mirror image' camouflage with an interestingly proportioned roundel (RM-Y, AH896) http://beta.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205126935 But one I hadn't seen before was this one of the same aircraft banking towards the camera - looks like most of the port wing is painted a single shade of Dark Earth. http://beta.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/205210195 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
