TimW Posted November 21, 2022 Share Posted November 21, 2022 So I had wanted to build one of the 201 Squadron birds for a long time, but the bubbletop I have in the stash doesn't have the fin fillet. Did all the 201 birds have it? Or was it a mixture? I have a decal set from Warbird Decals that seems to indicate they did have it or should. Any help appreciated! Cheers, Tim W.

dmthamade Posted November 22, 2022 Share Posted November 22, 2022 Can't help you about the fillet, but i can tell you the decals are a little thick. Cowl scallops didn't work out, IIRC i ended up using the nose art, tail stripes and numbers. Stars and bars were kit(Hasegawa). All else got painted. I know i have a build thread somewhere...

TimW Posted November 22, 2022 Author Share Posted November 22, 2022 Very nice! Looks like I'll be picking up the Trumpy "D" with the fin fillet--what the heck, you can't have too many Jugs! Thanks for the info about the decals--that nose scallop looks like a candidate for painting I must say. Thought it was odd they said to do the anti-glare panels black. OD seems more likely.

dmthamade Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 Not the build post but yes, that is the T-bolt. Build thread is on ARC, did go and find it.
