When green is painted over blue or red it does tend to produce a darker looking colour so I think it is possible that the vertical stripe had been overpainted and the horizontal rudder stripes re-painted blue. But also the colours might have been reversed when the aircraft was prepared in the USA, with a red vertical stripe.<br /><br />Regards<br />NickStraggler 脱走兵https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129611267271999294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-74652045599578233682013-03-26T20:23:43.491+00:002013-03-26T20:23:43.491+00:00PS.

The question of whether the Cyclone cowling was perfectly circular or slightly oval is disputed and not helped by photos! <br /><br />Regards<br />NickStraggler 脱走兵https://www.blogger.com/profile/10129611267271999294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5748156690521830936.post-27354857817159831212013-03-24T13:36:12.425+00:002013-03-24T13:36:12.425+00:00Hi Nick.

See the link for an corrected Hawk 75A-4 build by a French modeler.<br /><br />http://www.master194.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=72021<br /><br />Vedran<br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
