TimW Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 So is anybody aware of there being any SEAC type markings for the new Jug? I guess what I really would like to see is those two-tone dark blue/light blue roundels in 1/32. I've never been able to find any! TimW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Herne Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 No, but... They should be very easy to mask and paint...just have to be able to draw a circle!! The markings were undersized, you might be able to use roundels from a 1/32 Seafire, Sea Hurricane, etc. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haggis Posted May 11, 2007 Share Posted May 11, 2007 I thought about doing a SEAC machine for a bit but they seem a little bland to me (plus I really can't stand crabs! ). Anyway, I reckon with a little bit of research some 72nd roundels for pacific Royal Navy aircraft might fit the bill. looking at phots and profiles they seem tiny!

TimW Posted May 11, 2007 Author Share Posted May 11, 2007 The markings are small... Masking may be the way to go as I don't have any of the other scale SEAC markings in my stash. While some call them bland, I think the white ID stripes on the wings, tail and stabilizers make them rather unique. Squadron markings aren't too much of a bother, either.

LSP_Matt Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 The staff have been talking about this as an option. Still exploring examples, artwork and refs. Stay tuned. Cheers Matty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keith in the uk Posted May 12, 2007 Share Posted May 12, 2007 Oh if only i had the means to show you all my Revell jug in all its glory dressed up in S.E.A.C markings. For those of you who wish to finish your jugs in this scheme the roundels are available from Almark decals available from Hannants , sheet no AKA4811 will give you all you need , although this sheet is 48th scale the larger roundels are perfect for the jug.

TimW Posted May 12, 2007 Author Share Posted May 12, 2007 It has also occured to me that Cutting Edge does a Hawk 75 set of decals that includes SEAC roundels. Can't be too far off from what I need. Nevertheless, if newer Jug-specific sets may be in the offing I can be patient! Tim W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggernut Posted May 13, 2007 Share Posted May 13, 2007 If you can get me the dimensions of the roundels, the fin flash and the appropriate colors, I can make you a set. Hell, if you send me the squadron markings, serial numbers and approximate sizes and colors, (or a photo of the plane you're looking at) I can do them as well. If the aircraft has nose art, that'll be a tad more difficult though, but not impossible. I have an ALPS MD-1300 and can kick out good color decals, on good quality paper (can't do shades of grey though....it doesn't work well on the ALPS) with relative ease.

TimW Posted May 13, 2007 Author Share Posted May 13, 2007 Another thought--did the RAF Jugs have sutton harnesses or did they keep the standard USAAF ones? I have a nice Eduard US set of straps, but would hate to go to the trouble to put them in and find out they are wrong. My usual sources aren't casting much light on this!
