skyhawk174 Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 Hey Dutch I started scanning your stuff at work. Yup fits our copier and they are 11x17. Will try and send you way by email tonight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KursadA Posted June 27, 2019 Share Posted June 27, 2019 I could definitely use a copy of the section on Otter markings as I am working on a sheet for that type with Canadian markings, including those for the UN contingent. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kursad, Would you be willing to take the Buffalo markings as well? There is the Combat Models 1/48 scale vacuform kit, 1/72 Liberty resin kit, and Amodel 1/144 injection kit, of which I have five. I would love for some more accurate CAF yellow RESCUE decals than what the kit provides. I have the FCM sheet, but it covers Brazil hi & lo-viz, Ecuador SEA camo & CAF late camo schemes. There are lots of interesting markings for this aircraft that are crying to be done, starting with the CAF yellow RESCUE scheme. Just my usual plea. Thanks for listening. Very respectfully, Dutch Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Kursad, will do. I should send you the section on the fonts and numbers too. It is a page per letter. It may take me a bit as I have to sneak in the scanning as the copier is in someones office 😁 Edited June 28, 2019 by skyhawk174 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyhawk174 Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 Kursad I had a look at he Otter section. Yup has 2 pages on the UN markings. So I will need to send you the sheet on the UN markings themselves. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Hey Kursad I think I messed up. I scanned the pages for the Otter and realized that I did so in PDF. I should have scanned in jpeg right? Let me know and I will rescan.

Dutch Posted August 17, 2019 Author Share Posted August 17, 2019 I would like to update this thread for a minute now that I have received some new information. I received some scans of official drawings for the Cosmopolitan and Argus from the CAF Aircraft Finishing and Marking Guide via Chris. I have already shown the Cosmo drawing above, so I will now give an update on the Argus. I do not have a drawing to post, as it is on a different computer, but I do have the measurements. From the official Argus diagram, I know the base length (130”) and have determined the height (77.625”). I can then use a basic geometry calculation to determine the splice angle. Tan (of angle) Theta = opposite / adjacent Theta = tan-1 (opposite / adjacent) Theta = tan-1 (77.625/130) = tan-1 (.59711) Theta = 30.840 deg Let’s round up to 31 deg as my estimated height measurement may be off a little. Remember, this is the overall lightning bolt angle, so the "splice" angle is half the overall value, or 15.5 deg. Close, but not equal to the Cosmo angle of 15 deg.

Winnie Posted August 22, 2019 Share Posted August 22, 2019 Can I ask for a scan of just the maple leaf on the grid? Looks very good and can be a help to make a cutfile for masks for the future? Cheers Harald Quote Link to post Share on other sites

rcaf*100 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Gents, I realize the thread is a bit dated, but does anyone have info on when the lightning bolts would have been used? It seems they disappeared from CAF Rescue & Transport aircraft sometime in the late 1980's or early 90's, based on my hasty internet search. And yet they are back on the Cormorant/Otter etc present day... Any info on actual phase-in/phase out dates would be appreciated. Thanks, rcaf*100 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
