French roundels

[nev]

Which of these sets of decals is more accurate for a 70s French aircraft?  The paler blue or the darker blue?

[Mossie]

Ones on the right Nev.  I don't think the French have ever used the darker blue you see on British roundels.

Do a check on Airliners.net.  In the Photo search engine, select France-Air Force under Airline & 'All 1970's' under date.

The Super Mystere B-2 decals! The plane was still in service at the time...
you need to have a yellow "border" (well, a yellow circle around the roundel, it disapeared in the 80's or so)
Can I ask you what are you planning ?  ^_^

Thanks guys.  Archie, the yellow ring is there, it just doesn't show up in this picture.  Oh, and its for my TSR2 (see GB forum)

[Archibald]

Yep that's right you already mentionned it... No Mirage IV in this case ?

A *FRENCH* TSR.2!?!?  Sacre bleu!  What eez ze world, she coming to?  Mon dieu...

What next, a British Mirage?  Is nothing sacred?  Next thing you know the Brits and the French will start liking each other, then it's all down hill!
