Edited 14may08 to improve the name slightly.

I've done one, and have a few to come, of what I call "Kommando Marschall"---the German expeditionary air force in the Pacific. Presuming that either some German aircraft carriers team up with Japanese types, or aircraft and pilots are sent their way (and Japanese aircraft are sent to Germany to supply her naval air arm), I have two variations:

One is a meatball with a swastika superimposed, and the other is a Zuni Indian-like symbol of a meatball superimposed over a white-outline cross.

If the Channel Islands had to make their own ad-hoc air defense....Surely it would have cows in the markings! My Supermarine Swallow is camo-ed to look like the islands from the air, and have the "look out for the cows" insignia. How does that Moooo-ve you?

I'm part of a circle collaborating on a fan-fic involving a unified air force.  A friend of mine has allowed me to post his roundels.

United Nations Air Force/Navy/Marine Corps (for some reason, he felt that the continents were "too complex.")

low-viz variant

[Mossie]

Posted these on the Communist Britain thread, full colur, anti-flash & low-viz versions:



As I mentioned there, the full colour version is quite similar to the Yugoslavian roundel, & there's a possibility of confusion with Cuba's, but there's precedent for that with roundels so I'm not too worried.

made this roundel a while ago, i made a few decals of it for a captured german Bf109E 

the roundel represents the "Belgian Communist Resistance Air Arm"

Flag, roundel and star-and-bars for the People's Republic of Greater Manchester.

When the Communists took Manchester over in 1919, the People's Soviet rejected most of the city's established heraldry as being too bourgeois or capitalist. However, the "buzy bee" appealed to their sensibilities, and so these designs were adopted, which blended some of the city's traditional symbols with the new, Communist ones.

The symbolism is: Socialism (the red star) is at the heart of properity (the gold field), whilst  industriousness (the bee) is at the heart of Socialism (the red field), industry and prosperity being interlinked by the alternated dividing line.

For aircraft markings, there's no tail flash: the roundel is used on the tail and the star-and-bar (if there's room) or a small roundel (if there isn't) on the fuselage.

Welsh Kingdom of Powys, Royal Army Air Service.

Coat of Arms (real) to show where it's derived from, diamond (used as a roundel on wings and fuselage) and fin flash. Key elements are the black mountains (a geographical feature of Powys), black diamond symbolising coal, red kite (local bird), and water symbols (blue and white wavy bits).

KOP RAAS aircraft usually also wear the green triangle of the Council of Welsh Kingdoms, to which Powys belongs (CCB =  "Chwnsel chan Cymraeg Breniniaethau" : "Council of Welsh Kingdoms") (apologies to any Welsh folk if that's wrong: I just threw it through an on-line translator).



Edit: Wow, JPEG had a field day with the CCB's "psychadelic" triangle....

The home page of that site leads to a lot more material - profiles, artwork and general aviation information:

Well since I've done it on the profile, I have to do it on here now: Federation of British Island Nations symbol. It normally only appears on the fin and one wing, with the FBIN lettering on the forward fuselage and the other wing. The pale grey colour on the screen is actually either silver or white, depending on the underlying scheme.

While many are actual military insignias that you're sure to recognize, several others would be great for What If subjects of all genres.  If you're into printing your own decals, here are some cool ideas.

Here's my proposed Texas roundel & flag on the tail - as displayed on my upgraded Texas Mirage F.1.



Here's the original post for the Mirage F.1 with a description of how the roundel is made.  http://www.whatifmodelers.com/index.php/topic,20541.0.html

I love that Frisian flag! What looks like "hearts" are water lily leaves.

Anyway, I tried to make "roundels" out of the flag and present two examples here.

One looks like a nice napkin! The white "chevron" didn't come out on the bottom of the "napkin". Reversing the blue and white might make a nice "diamond" shape insignia. Or it might become the tail marking.

The roundel is crude because though a former version of Paint Shop Pro I had used to have had a circular selection tool, this one's only options are a square one or "handmade". This one was handmade.
