Bryan Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 This has taken a while (over two years now) mainly because i thought i had stuffed up the build. It's a bit dark but here is the practice layout for the yellow & red roundels which cover the plane. These will be printed on white decal stock and trimmed to size. I've been doing trial & error and this is the best i could come up with. Next decal will be the nose art which i have in a basic form. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I.Illes Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Wishful thinking guys :lol: Must be springtime...you know...young lads...hormons... :wacko: One question: what are those roundels for? special markings? If so, what´s their function? Google came up with some nice pictures of the aircraft, but no info at all. István Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bryan Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 These markings are for assembly ships, B24's that had flown missions and returned badly damaged. They were patched up and painted in vivid colours and lit up like christmas trees. The lights and colours allowed the bomber fleet to get into the correct formation for each squadron. This is one of my favourites. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
