Hi
I ask if anyone can please clarify for me the following....
British WW2 Twin engine fighter aircraft.
If the scheme is later war Dark green/dark grey upper surfaces with grey under what colour would the code letters be? I'm guessing at "sky".

Or are there other colours?

Many thanks
Peter

I'm guessing twin-engine jet aircraft? If so, my Tamiya Meteor calls for a medium sea grey undersurface.

Hi again Shonen...

Your Meteor...is it code number YQ-H?
If so what colour are they on the decal sheet?

Many thanks
Peter

Hi Peter!

I have a Meteor and a Mosquito both from Tamiya in that colour sheme and they both have sky code letters. My Meteor is YQ-E and not YQ-H though...

Hi flitz! Been busy and hanging around in the armor forum :-) Now I think I need to hang back in the AC forum :-) :-)

From my decal sheet on my Meteor F1, they had codes: YQE, YQD and YQG. Don't know the exact color, but they seem to look like buff-like. I'll try to scan it if I had time tom (it's getting late now).
