Title: Typhoon skin: W/C J.C. Button
Post by: jocko- on December 09, 2009, 06:06:52 PM

RB431, coded "JCB", after W/C J. C. Button, 123 Wing, airfield B105, Plantluenne, April 1945.

Liberal use of black and white on Spinner, inside of main gear doors and cannon fairings. Aircraft named Zipp XI (eleven?!? makes you wonder about how many 'Zipp's he'd flown over his carrer, or was the attrition rate that high?!  :confused: )

RL aircraft had prop blades painted white on the black side of the spinner, and black on the white side of the spinner. Because the skin file only has one blade texture for all four, I painted it white. "JCB" was also written in black on the white portion of the inside of the gear doors, I left it off for the same reason - only one texture for both doors so the "JCB" would end up appearing backwards on one side. RL aircraft also had a 35mm camera in place of the port inner cannon so he could do BDAs of 123 Wing's attacks.

That looks nice with the black and white.
