Airframes
Benevolens Magister
Thanks chaps, and thanks for the offer Paul.
It's the notes and scale plans I particularly want, just to check a couple of things. The notes were compiled in preparation for a magazine article, and include info regarding the presentation of the serial numbers in specific production batches. Certain batches had the numbers applied with a hyphen between the letters and numbers, for example, FW-192, rather than FW192, as would be normal practice, and the location also varied slightly.
I think my subject was one of these, but it's not clear in the photo, even when enlarged. There is also detailed information on the interior colour layout - where each colour was used etc etc - as both Bronze Green and Interior Green where used on airframe and internal fittings, and I compiled this after closely inspecting the Fighter Collection's Mitchell II [B-25C] when it first arrived in the UK, back in 1988 (it returned to the USA, still painted as 'Grumpy', of 98 Squadron, in August 2009).
The scale plans are not that important, but will be useful when building the tail-gun position.
I have a feeling I know where the file is - under a large pile of boxes and other stuff, where I'm still in the process of moving things around to create more usable space !
Just got to find the energy, and strength, to move the darned stuff to check !!
