Actually target tug Tempests DID carry the diagonal black bands over yellow underside post war! Some RNZAF Avengers post war too, Daniel!

Completly forgot!

Modelling a post war RNZAF Avenger is on the list!

Thinking of doing the black/yellow stripes "JV44 style"....

109ROAMING · 04-03-2009, 05:43 AM

Intriging Jan ...*me thinks of doing a Typhoon*

Lucky13 · 04-03-2009, 08:51 AM

It'll be a nice trio mate, Spitfire/Thunderbolt and Typhoon!

Yeah, Jan and I talked about having the black and yellow stripes that were later used in the Suez crisis of '57. They were painted just like the 'D-Day' stripes, but with yellow replacing white - would look rather cool on some birds. Of course, if this fictitious scenario was extended and elaborated upon , then some aircraft types that didn't quite make WW2 could be incorporated couldn't they? The brain cogs are creaking into motion here......

Look out!

......

109ROAMING · 04-03-2009, 07:56 PM

I wonder what an RNZAF Corsair would look like with D-Day stripes ......*intends to find out with Corsair build*

Airframes · 04-03-2009, 08:40 PM

You know, I'd thought of a Corsair 'what if?' There was a post in another section about what if the Corsair had been with the 8th USAAF, and what it would look like in, say, 56th FG colours, which got me thinking. I was going to do a profile of the scheme, but I still haven't sorted the problem with the software control - need a graphics tablet! So, I thought of building a couple of Corsairs, one 8th USAAF and one RAF, the latter with 'D-Day' stripes. Might get around to it some day, when all the other projects are done, but by then, I'll probably be too old and knackered!!

109ROAMING · 04-03-2009, 10:13 PM

A USAAF 8th AF Corsair in D-day stripes! Wow Sounds interesting! ,Actually thinking about doing it leads me to thinking its one for future builds.I certainly think it would look good though!

Lucky13 · 04-04-2009, 03:21 AM

Been thinking in the same lines fellas! A Corsair in NMF, some colourful squares, noseart etc....

Heinz · 04-06-2009, 12:53 AM

Just a crazy thought myself, Vampire in BoB camo

Lucky13 · 04-06-2009, 02:58 AM

Seem to have a "what if" GB coming together, eh?

A4K · 04-06-2009, 03:00 AM

As a joke I was going to drop a Strikemaster into the group build in JG 301 scheme...

Airframes · 04-06-2009, 02:04 PM

Hey, I'd already thought of a Sabre in JG26 markings!
