Mike Stephens Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) A friend's father was a member of the 455 Squadron RAAF, in WW2, based at Dallachy, Scotland. As a gift, I am building him a rep Beaufighter from that squadron, using the Airfix 72nd scale kit. I need to come up with aircraft numbers, and appropriate decals for the selected aircraft. I know that ID's for that squadron began with "UB", but that's as far as I've gotten. Any ideas or recommendations are most appreciated! Thanks in advance, Mike Edited October 3, 2011 by Mike Stephens Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Stephens Posted October 3, 2011 Author Share Posted October 3, 2011 Av8fan & Edgar, Thank you very much for your help on this, I sure do appreciate it!! I think I now have enough to go on. As you may have figured out, the Beaufighter was a somewhat unfamiliar aircraft to me, having seem some photos of it in the past; however, it held little interest for me, as I concentrated more on other aircraft types. Now, I want to do something special for my friend, and I am hoping that the information you've provided will help. Thanks again!! Mike Quote Link to post Share on other sites
