RNZAF Marking (and Paints too)

[alanw]

Hi All,

So I have 4 model P40's to start building soon,
3 P40E-1's from the well known photo of NZ3008/NZ3036/NZ3007,
and one P40K-15 to build as NZ3060

Hunting for info on the RNZAF Roundel with 1 inch red dot, I recalled a
thread on a forum from the UK, that I had read years ago.

I finally found it again, but putting it to the forum Brain Trust,
who actually wrote this (see link below) David D/Dave H/Pete Mossong came to
mind but I haven't found a name perse

www.scale-models.co.uk/threads/rnzaf-markings.1003/

Any ideas (apologies if this has been discussed previous)

Thanks

Alan

These 3 sites should help.

Thanks, I have visited the Paint/Pete Mossong's site many times,
and I'm sure I have read/devoured every P40 Thread Dave H has on this forum,
so not worried about colours, it was more just that particular roundel

Thank you for answering my query non the less

Regards

Alan

Thanks Dave,

I'm just in the throes of finishing a Surrender Japanese A6M-5 Zero
and Aichi Jake float plane (the one that sank) handed over to the RNZAF
at Jacquinot Bay, then I'll start the P40's

Thanks/regards

Alan

I'd love to see those captured Jap planes too.

Give me a week or so, and I'll post them in the model section
