I'm deciding between an RNZAF C-47B or Lockheed Hudson in 1:72. Does anyone have spare RNZAF markings from the Airfix Hudson by chance?

Would they have the bar either side of the roundel Evan? I'll have a look to see what I've got that might fit. I know I have some in pale blue and some in dark blue, but they're mainly 1/48th scale. Let me know what you need, and I'll see if I can help.

Thanks Terry!
To my knowledge the Hudsons carried the straight overpainted RAF roundel, the barred version first appeared on the Venturas. I don't know the measurements as I've never seen the decals in question, but I'll try to work out an estimate size from available photos. (Actually I don't even know which unit letters are supplied!) Will have to do a check on the net...
Thanks again mate!

Yep, great find Chris! Our first Hudson's were received via the RAF, and thus initially carried standard RAF roundels. They were soon overpainted in the B/W/B style as seen on our Corsairs and Kittyhawks (minus the bars).
I'd like to do one in th pacific scheme as per NZ2013 and NZ2035 on this site: RNZAF Lockheed Hudson Survivors
Will try to sort out some measurements for yas.
Cheers!

Been trying to get info on the Airfix decals. Seems only the latest issue kit (Mk.III) has the RNZAF (and RAAF) markings, these being for NZ013 YZ-R of No.4 GR sqn, RNZAF. No pictures of the decals so I don't know how accurate they are.
She'd be interesting to do though, as I worked in the hangar where they were restoring the real '13 during my last days in the airforce!

OK Evan. Don't think I've got any plain Blue/White/Blue roundels the right size without bars, and doubtful on codes/serials, but I'll check and let you know. An approximate diameter for the roundels would help though.
