You can paint them standard USAAF colors or Navy  as you like,but a contrario to the article said it's this not  D-Day strips but "zone de combat sud" ID stripe

I don't see any pict ?

For the size of the ID stripe check this thread : http://www.hitechcreations.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=146693

It should be the same IMO.

I spend some time searching for pict of this A24 but found none so I'll "ring" some friends , stay tuned :)

Post by: straffo on June 03, 2005, 03:44:14 PM

well ... French national marking perhaps ?

You used the brit one :D

On the tail the blue is perhaps a bit too light.
Nice work anyway.

Post by: Hwkeye on June 03, 2005, 11:02:37 PM

you will see on the model that the french roundel is showing not the british one.

French has a blue center with red ring vs. british red center with blue ring.
