Matt Posted December 8, 2010 Share Posted December 8, 2010 anyone have some extra RAF roundels, like 6?Doing a fortress III for the B-17 Group Build...thought I'd ask. Do you know which types you need and what size (the original 1-1 size) ? I have some sheets with various roundel types in various styles and sizes. I tend to use all the fighter sized ones, but i don't use the bomber ones, so I probably have some spares I could send along. Otherwise, for a 1/48th bomber you could could easily cut them out of tape with a circle cutter and paint them. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M Posted December 8, 2010 Author Share Posted December 8, 2010 (edited) Hi Matt, Bomber size is perfect! (2) 1"+ (4) 1.5"+ if available? *edited to add sizes* Edited December 9, 2010 by Shawn M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 I could and may paint them. But I know after adding the Paragon conversion I may run out of mojo on it.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 Which style of Roundel ? The A/A1 are the red/white/blue and red/white/blue/yellow with the wider white ring (same width as the blue) The B type is the normal upper wing red/blue The C/C1 are the later war red/white/blue and red/white/blue/yellow with the very narrow white ring RAF Roundel styles Cheers, Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Shawn M Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Looks like i need 2 C1 bomber varient for the Fuselage and 2 type B's for the upper wings. My refs show no markings on the underside of the wing. Thanks for the link BTW, had no idea there were so many types! Edited December 9, 2010 by Shawn M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 I have a bunch of the B's in different sizes. I have a couple of sheets of either C or C1, I forget. So, the next thing is to figure out the correct sizes. I'll look to see when I get home if any of the sheets specifically mention the Fort III to say what size the markings were on it, but it could be a pretty obscure aircraft to be on the list. The roundel size varied from aircraft to aircraft. I found a couple of plans, but the pictures are too small to read the measurements for the markings http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nxN_vjldtng/Sdio...ress_Camo_1.jpg http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nxN_vjldtng/Sdio...ress_Camo_2.jpg If you can take this and offer them up to your kit and take a swag at how big you need each type in mm and let me know I'll send you what I have that is closest in size slightly larger and smaller. Also, have you sourced the Fin flash ? if not let me know and I'll dig a few of those out as well. For future reference, XtraDecals do very nice sheets of each roundel type in different sizes.

Shawn M Posted December 9, 2010 Author Share Posted December 9, 2010 (edited) Matt, I pulled out the kit last night and measured the US stars and bars, I assume the RAF roundels would be "close" to the same size, maybe a touch larger if anything. Fuselage- 1"= 25.4mm wings-1.5"= 38.1mm Have not sourced a fin flash yet, it would be of the Type C variety though. Can I offer you anything in trade? Im not going to be using the kit decals and I dont build in 1/48 much...err at all Edited December 9, 2010 by Shawn M Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 No worries. PM me an address and I'll hunt up what I have and get them out in the mail this Saturday. Matt Quote Link to post Share on other sites
