Colin K Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 Just wondering if anyone has definitive information on the font used on Hurricane YO-H, assigned to 401 Sqn, during the Battle of Britain? Trying like a madman to figure it out so that I can make decals for my Airfix Hurricane build. If anyone has info or wartime photos, any help is appreciated. Thanks!

RCAFFAN Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 (edited) Colin....I am assuming you are working in 1/48 and if so this sheet should work: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/X48022 Cheers Bruce P.S. They were still technically Number 1 Squadron RCAF at time "H" was credited with first kill. They didn't become 401 until March 1,1941 while the kill was on August 26, 1940. The plane serial was P3873 but I haven't found a generic serial sheet of decals. I haven't found a pic that early (BoB) but there is a Mark I photo (YO-D) in spring of 1941 in Kostenuk and Griffin's RCAF Squadrons and Aircraft under the 401 WWII entry that appears to be before the 1941 change to Sky codes and so representative of the BoB scheme but that is just a guess. P.P.S. You could do the serial from this sheet: https://www.hannants.co.uk/product/AOD48C04 Edited November 22, 2017 by RCAFFAN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Colin K Posted November 23, 2017 Author Share Posted November 23, 2017 Thanks for that info, Bruce. I'll probably order that decal sheet. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scooby Posted November 23, 2017 Share Posted November 23, 2017 IPMS Canada has it on their big decal sheet too, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
