So I introduced this little version here figured I finish it here.The last coat of clear has been applied to which I still need to do the yellow leading wing bands the decals broke apart old.I believe I used the roundels that the decal sheet called for but the profile shows the yellow outline while I can still see distance that close stuff...well?I used stainless instead of magnesium around the exhaust and an extra silver out in the field.I should a used the flash.

The bands have been added and some pics with flash and I looked at the instructions on the decals per the sheet correct

Looking great , Kev...
However the PAF checkerboard seems to be a little bit oversized and of the incorrect dull red colour used for the decals of roundels and fin flash. But it should be smaller and of the red colour with white "POLAND" below.

I had seen another build of this plane with the brighter red and the white on the spinner Revell kit \Tamy Decals revells research in this case was more accurate.

 

[Wurger]

I see. Here is enlarged part of a pic of the PK-J FB161 crashed in 1945 . The size of the PAF checkerboard and its location can be noticed well.

Regarding the spinner .. here is a couple of enlarged shots of the PK-H. Not sure if the third images is of the her too but it can be noticed that the back ring of the spinner was of the NMF rather.

the pic source: the net...

So it is very probably the PK-V could have the white removed from there like in the profile below.

 

[javlin]

I was thionking the spinner may of been white/red going in hand with the checker boards.

 

[Wurger]

That could be the reason for the rendition. But it would be a kind of colour inverse because the PAF checker board had the top left square white as the first from left. However the correct layout should be with the red square there. All Mustangs of the 315 Squadron seen in known pics , had the white there.

I think the color of the roundels is correct Wojtek the bright red and blue was pre and early war till 1940 when things started to change .The dull indent red/blue started showing up after that point and the yellow on the fuse was introduce in 1942(?) Tamy colors are right but still some doubt lingers is it right for the plane and squadron not that I am going to change it at this point. Kevin
