Airfix B17G 708th BS 447th BG. Colour query.

[steveinns]

Please can anyone tell me whether the two vertical bright green stripes around the fuselage & tailfin, are on the decal sheet of the 1/72 Airfix kit ? If not, then I have a few questions :

What model colour green is recommended as a good comparison ?

How wide are the stripes & what is the gap between the two stripes ?

Thanks in anticipation.

One other query, the underwing chevron, is it black or dark blue.

There must be a good publication somewhere, with this information, but I do not have it !

Ad.2 the schewrons were black on both wing sides what can be noticed in the pics of the "G" and "K" kites.
