Something special from down south in the Atlantic..

Excellent. I was going to say, "What about Argentina guys?"

Here's one I posted in the Orbx site. Jens, thanks again for the repaints.

That was a jolly nice screenshot!

I'm making KM-C of No 44 (Rhodesia) sqn right now in the white/black "Tiger Force" scheme it had in 45-46. Do any of you have any information about which colour the stencils would have had on this scheme? It was yellow on the later schemes, but I don't have any pictures showing it on the Tiger Force scheme. Since yellow is difficult to see on white, I'm thinking maybe it was in red. Or they had no stencils at all... Any thoughts?

Replied at CBFS, Jens. In the meantime, I'll keep a lookout.

Hi,

I just saw it. I also thought about checking similar decals on the Lancaster, but I cannot see any similar stencils and warning decals at all on the wartime Lancasters except for the fuselage and wing jacking points/trestle lines. Even if there are more Tiger force pictures of the Lancaster than the Lincoln there are few up close, but I think it is very plausible that it followed the same pattern as on the camouflaged scheme, No decals. It might have something to do that it was wartime and they did not see the value with painting such decals on an airframe which would have a short life and that warning stencils were something more related with peacetime health and safety considerations.. Therefor applied to the later black and grey Lincoln scheme.

Thanks for telling about the Lancaster sounds, they are great!


KM-C is getting ready. I have removed the stencils as it looks like they were not painted on the Tiger scheme and the exhaust stains have been modified. I have also made all new RAF C1 roundel and tail flash

The Lincoln's schemes were really wild compared to what had gone before! Thanks for dragging up as many as you can find Jens.. it sure adds to the package

Did this paint ever get released, just purchased the Lincoln and installed all your other fine repaints, but wonder'd what happen'd to this one
