Hi there

This is a question I've meant ask ever since I bought Eduard's "P-40N/M Shark Mouths Over China":



The kit shows the rudder stripes as blue & white, but photos of one of the decal options - Maj. Raymond Callaway's "Shirley II" appear in an old copy of Airfoil and the caption states the stripes were red & white. The photos are B&W and not the best quality, but the rudder stripes do appear marginally lighter than the Chinese fuselage star.

Can anybody set the record straight about 8 Sqn, 3 FG C.B.I colours?

Thanks and all the best

Rowan
