RBF tags

[Zosh]

Where should RBF tags be placed? Will the model be accurate should i miss out on some places that the RBF tags should be on?

There is no general answer to, "where should I put RBF flags." It depends on the aircraft and its status and what armament it carries.

If an aircraft is armed or it is carrying jettisonable fuel tanks it will likely have RBF flags on the weapons, racks or rails. Where exactly depends on the weapon type and version.

If the aircraft has uplocks, downlocks or jury struts installed they will certainly have RBF flags on them.

Ejection seats have safety pins that have RBF flags.

If you have a specific aircraft and know what you want to hang off of it for weapons, post that and I bet there's a resident expert that can tell you where the pins go.

Echoing what GG said, every aircraft is different, so you'll either need to search for reference shots or ask for information.

Whether it's accurate or not depends on the context you want your model to be in. Technically, yeah, pretty much any model on the ground should have at least some flags, unless they're supposed to be at an airshow or similar, or there's a pilot in the cockpit with the aircraft about to spool up. Practically, very few people add flags, and even fewer add full and accurate flagging. They're like panel lines and weathering - accuracy is sacrificed for the sake of appearances.
