I'm wondering if anyone has a resource showing the fine stencil markings on the marauder? Eduard's painting guides are often quite good for these, but the one they have only shows the "NO STEP" stencils on the wings. I've seen a photo (attached) of stencils by the oil filler, so know the...

Hi everyone, Sorry, this seems like a bit of a silly question, but I am curious why the RN seemed to name identical destroyers as different classes: Chiefly I am talking about the 'J, K, N' class 'G and H' class, 'O and P' classes of destroyers. Perhaps I'm missing something but in each 'set of...

Hi everyone, I'm curious what were the factors causing the variety in wing-roundel sizes on USAAF fighters, I've attached two images, on one the underwing roundel clearly goes over the flap, while the other is much smaller. Since the latter appears to be in the Pacific, and likely later in the...

Hi everyone. I'm wondering if there are any photographs of this interesting experimental camouflage for this Hurricane? I can find two profile sources but no concrete photos for its existence. Thanks - tryc

Thanks guys! Much appreciated!

As the title says really, I've been able to find the rivet outlay for the hurricane fuselage from walkarounds, but there is quite a lack of schemes/ walkarounds showing detailed placement of rivets on upper and lower wings/ fuselage. If anyone can provide any detailed enough images or detailed...

ok, another question, exactly what was the purpose of leaving the nose unpainted? As this wasn't common on German aircraft, also on the air intake the middle panel appears to be bare metal. Would there be a reason for this? thanks again.

A tad disappointing, but to be expected, thanks for the great response!

Hi I'm currently researching the fw190c v18 and found several remarkably clear pictures of the second prototype. These images are show the underside of the aileron, which "appear" to be bare metal. However, the ailerons on fw190s were fabric, could have the fw190c v18 have had metal ailerons? Or...

wow, thanks for such a great response, got any of the photos from the books mentioned? Thanks! :pilotsalute:

Hi I’m trying to find some information on an me410 pilot Uoffz Loriner, I found 2 seperate profiles for his aircraft, although he could’ve flown more than one, can anyone confirm the registration or possibly have historical pictures of his 410, both sources (wings pallete and wardrawings) state...

This is great! Many thanks, sorry for the delayed response!

Hi, I found this profile of a bf109 g-6 and would like to model it. However it is the only image of This plane I can find and hence I’m unsure as to whether or not it ever existed. The image is from “bf109s over the med” and doing a little cross referencing I found that g6 were deployed in...
