Just received a Planet 1/72nd Saunders Roe SAR/1 jet fighter flying boat.
I ask if it had made the grade and been produced, what camo would it have had, considering it was designed for use in the Pacific, or so I believe?
Ideas most wecome.
Cheers and thanks
Peter

Well!...you miserable lot ...ha ha...16 views and not one comment. Not even a slagging off.
I'm sure :-) the many wits amongst us might have had something to say?
Please help.
It's not even a true Luft 46er.
Cheers

Hi there Peter :-)

I'll break ranks from the miserable lot!

Assuming the war had carried on that long in the Pacific, I reckon the SR.A/1 would have been camouflaged in Sky undersurfaces, tail and fuselage sides, with Extra Dark Sea Grey topsides. It could have still had Dark Slate Grey / Extra Dark Sea Grey upper surfaces...

Not very exciting but, hey!, there would have been a war on!! Of course, the return to bright colours for the roundels wouldn't have happened so early, so nice dull markings! :-)

All the best

Rowan

Thanks Rowan,
much appreciated. I was thinking along similar lines, but as I don't do many British stuff of that type I thought it best to seek advise and confirm my leanings. And you did just that.
Thanks again.
Cheers and enjoy your coffee.
