The third sheet of British national insignia in 1:48 scale, a complement to the earlier sheets aimed at the Spitfire and the Hurricane.
Responsibility details are not available.
British roundels went through a number of changes during the Second World War, and a modeler who wants his machine to be correct for the period cannot do without the right shape. The Type A with a blue, white and red ring was joined on the upper surfaces by the simplified Type B in two colors only. From 1942 the narrower variants designated C and C1 prevailed, in which the proportion of white and yellow was reduced so that the marking would be less conspicuous.
This sheet is the third part of a series. The first two are tied by the manufacturer to particular types, namely to the Spitfire and to the Hurricane, whereas number three serves as a general stock of markings for other British machines. It therefore suits cases where the roundel left over from a kit is in the wrong shade or where you want to build one aircraft in several periods of its service.
When building, follow a photograph of the particular machine from the particular month, because the shape of the marking changed faster during the war than one might expect. Lay the markings onto a glossy base and watch their symmetry against the axis of the wing; with circular markings every deviation is conspicuous. A thin strip of tape on the surface helps. If you are building several British types at once, take from the sheet gradually and keep the rest somewhere dry. The sheet holds only markings, not plastic parts.
