HI,
You may have seen this The Story Behind Miracle Masks
I started with RAF markings because they are what I knew best. I am currently working on Luftwaffe markings and others are to follow.
To be able to make accurate markings I need accurate information so I am asking here if anyone has information that is relevant to national marking schemes of any nation to contact me.
The sort of information that I am looking for are:
1. Size and positioning information. ( you may think that Japanese markings would be a doddle but, from information that I have, the size of the Hinomaru (disc) veried depending on the size of the aircraft (fairly obvious) but that there was set distences, from wing tip, leading edge and control surfaces, for example, which, depending on the size of the aircraft determined the size of tha marking. it's that sort of information that I am finding impossible to find.
2. Type and style changes.
3. Colour information.
4. Oddball styles.
5. Anything.
Basically if you love or are from a particular nation and have, or know where to find the sort of information, that would enable me to create markings for that nation, then please let me know. Any information that allows me to create the markings will be rewarded with a set of markings, for that nation, to the one who supplied the info
Rowan (Merlin) has corned the market in RAF markings and probably in Luftwaffe markings as well, however I still need some stuff for Luftwaffe markings, mainly to do with numbers used, styles, sizes etc.
Thanks for looking

Mal
