Easy way to tell is that the Starkey stripes are black/white/black/white/black whereas D-day stripes are white/black/white/black/white. Also white nose is a giveaway as well. Whirlwinds and Typhoons also participated in Op. Starkey. TRF These blokes didn’t get the memo……. Paul in Napier 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some were applied roughly as above and some were carefully applied by masking and spraying, it obviously depended on how close to the 6th and maybe if it was the CO's aircraft.

TRF No, look closely at the wing stripes, tell me what's off....... Ok, did some research seems like the innermost stripe is filthy white,where i thought it was camo.

fastterry Posted December 12, 2022 Share Posted December 12, 2022 Further ramblings. I know that no matter what variant of a new kit that comes out there are always folks who say too bad, I'd buy one if it was the C instead of the B but I think that HKM have missed the boat on this one. There are a lot of schemes for earlier versions of A-20's. Think the RAF and allies in Europe, the MTO and the allies in the SWPA. Of course I will buy one if HKM release an earlier version and do it in RAAF livery. TRF Kagemusha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRF I tend to agree with you on the versions , some folks wanted a different version than the one that's rendered. speaking for ME , they hit this one out of the park as the G is my favorite however I will get the earlier versions when/if they come out. i don't think they missed the boat , they just took the first one out , pretty sure they'll be sailing the others , horses for courses. fastterry and Uncarina 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one very big reason I enjoy this forum, the knowledge transfer is fantastic! And most egos are checked at the door compared with "other " sites.
