One other squadron, however, seems to have painted their ailerons & elevators yellow, for some reason.


Perhaps for identification during an exercise? There was a fad for doing things like that for a while in the 50s-60s.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I believe that particular Unit also used yellow codes and was a second line training unit, so probably to make the aircraft stand out a bit to others? Particularly with learner drivers bimbling around the circuit.

The British have raised their security level from "Miffed" to "Peeved". Soon though, security levels may be raised yet again to "Irritated" or even "A Bit Cross". Londoners have not been "A Bit Cross" since the Blitz in 1940 when tea supplies ran out for three weeks

Unmasked = I took off the masking tape.  No hidden meanings Eric, just an english word with (like so many) two meanings.

The Jaguar pattern is from my imagination using Israeli colours.  It is going to be an RAAF aircraft.  It struck me that colours suitable for Palestine would also work well over Australia.  Glad you like it.

Both looking good mate
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

Thanks guys.

Other than some minor touch ups on the Seafire I made no progress on these today as I was concentrating on the Autogiro.

Talk elsewhere of Jaguar sedan deliveries brought this to mind.
I scratchbuilt the rear body onto a 1/25 Revell '86 Chevy Monte Carlo.
These are the only pics.  It's currently in bits in a box as I wasn't happy with my paint and bodywork and decided to redo it.

Ooooh, I LIKE that panel Monte Carlo!  :thumbsup: :wub:

That's an interesting engine, a turbocharged OHC V8?

It's the engine Revell put in it Kit, which was small block chevy fuelled by a single throttle body fuel injection system with cold air induction.
The only picture I can find of it on line has dirty great big boto phucket watermarks across it.

Now the 1wgb is over work will recommence on the Panther and the Seafire and the Jag.
I also have a few car builds I should get on with and a tank I need to weather.
And then all too soon it'll be the Prototype GB.  I may try and limit myself to only one large entry for that (famous last words).
