As I understand by this, N7255 was marked with the code letters ZS-S, meaning that it was NOT using the code ZS-Q.... as it is suggested by the "Militærhistorisk Forening Rogaland" book number 5, Alarmstart (at Sola/Stavanger).Yes, but it looks like the N7255 was lost in June while the P5117 in the October of the same year. So the P5117 had to replaced the N7255. No wonder she could be coded with the same letters. However the Airframe AFD48199 decal set shows the slightly different in size code letters for her. Also looking at the losses of the no. 233 Squadron in the first half of the 1940 I noticed that the lost planes belonged to the batch with the N72** serials.
I guess that I am going to decide on the S code marking. Thank you for your help! I appreciate it. The kit is however one of the 1/48 Classic Arframe sets. Purchased long time ago for this very project. I hope that it goes together without too much problem.Yes, but it looks like the N7255 was lost in June while the P5117 in the October of the same year.

Thank you very much for this nice information! I will do my best to make a nice model, representing NZ-S.Grasped. AS memo serves the Classic Arframe is a nice kit and there shouldn't be any troubles with assembling. But all depends on you and your skills.

Classic Airframes Lockheed Hudson III, 113(BR), RCAF - New photo's for April 30th
Maybe I'm just a glutten for punishment, but I'm starting a 1/48 Classic Airframes Lockheed Hudson III, to be finished as LM*L, 113(BR) Sqdn, RCAF, which scored the RCAF's first U-Boat kill. Right off the hop, I knew about the split elevator problem, instead of the correct one piece elevator. Wha...www.britmodeller.com
