morane Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 here's a version that I might be interested in. Spanish DH-98 M during the Spanish War. A Republican version is also possible. No guns no fun Fanes and thierry laurent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain 11 minutes ago, kkarlsen said: Thank you Max, they'i come in handy! Kent That's what we're here for chaps, a sharing community of modellers. I started making an Isracast DH89A in 1/48th scale some years ago so started collecting a lot of information then and for my Bomber Command research, so I'm glad at last that I can start to use it for a model in our scale. I just need a Proctor now.....please! Edited February 16, 2020 by mozart kkarlsen and Iain 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 For anyone not aware, if you right click Max's images on the LSP page and click 'open image in new tab' (in Windows Chrome at least) a full 3K res version can be saved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears to possibly be the AA logo?? On 2/15/2020 at 4:26 PM, Iain said: OK - these suggest period car badge as well: Not exactly, I knew I had seen something about it somewhere. From 'DeHavilland Moths In Detail; Herridge & Sons; 2010; page 105: Quote The Automobile Association established its Aviation Division at Heston in 1928, providing route maps for private aircraft touring at home and overseas. AA scouts also rendered assistance at aviation meetings. Members of the AA's Aviation Department were supplied with metal badges carrying serial numbers in the same way as motorists were, except that the badge was flat rather than dished So, it is similar to the car badge, only it is an aeroplane badge Thought you'd like to know...

Iain Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Hi Richard, Indeed - hence the flat badge on the earlier Moth. However - they either changed the aviation one to the dished out type - or these are exactly the same ones on the Dragon Rapide as the car ones IMHO. And I can't see them going to the trouble of paying for tooling for another design in the 1950's when they would have had ready access to thousands of car badges - and these look to be the same size as the car ones... For the purpose of recreating one for a 1:32 model - I reckon just shrink a standard AA badge of the period! Iain mozart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLWP Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 It would depend how many of the flat ones were made in the first place, and how many people took up membership of the Aviation Division. Could be they still had old stock when the scheme finished I have no evidence to support that, of course Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looking at photos I'm convinced they are a later design than the flat one on the Moth - distinctly 3D? But I have no hard evidence either! Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chek Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I'm not even going to try to calculate the badge's height difference in 1/32. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
