Tolga ULGUR Posted April 17, 2017 Author Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi Tolga - I too would leave off the nose art of a certain person being booted up the backside which I believe was particular to 242 Squadron (no doubt someone has a photo to disprove this ;-) - by this time Bader was flying mainly with 616 Squadron interesting image of Bader' Va here - http://www.tangmere-museum.org.uk/articles/douglas-bader-2 - Not sure if the particular plane shown in the picture, ‘Lord Lloyd 1', is W3185 but doesn't show the nose art. It does however have good ref of the DB codes shape and position. Hope this helps Torben Yes agreed.. Thanks TorbenD 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tolga ULGUR Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Decals applied... I have used "Lifelike decals" set. But upper wings roundels cracked during application meaninglessly. I borrowed new roundels from EagleCals Spitfire set.. 109, coogrfan, Whitey and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joel_W Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Tolga, The decaling looks spot on perfect. Come to think of it, the entire undersides now looks darn good. Keep it coming. Joel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
