Wombat not sure if you have succumbed to the Lincoln, I did as it completes my 10 Squadron aircraft. Here are a couple of screen shots of the RAAF ones:

Thanks Jens, for the excellent paints.

And thanks to all of you who support Virtavia even when we fall a wee bit short on the details.

If not for you, we never would have been able to hang around this long.
 
Thanks for the kind words :)
I very much want to hear what you guys think about the paints, any details I should add or decals which needs to be redone?
The Lincoln is a bit of a difficult subject to research as there are very few period detail pictures or colour pictures to show colours on details like the spinner etc.

The aforementioned radome and trim-wheel issues notwithstanding, this Lincoln is a good model and deserves to be a success. I have no regrets in buying it, and thank you for bringing us the often overlooked and 'unsexy' aircraft. I'd pay for a number of the unusual Virtavia models before yet another F-16, so keep up the good work.
 
That was a jolly nice screenshot!

I'm making KM-C of No 44 (Rhodesia) sqn right now in the white/black "Tiger Force" scheme it had in 45-46. Do any of you have any information about which colour the stencils would have had on this scheme? It was yellow on the later schemes, but I don't have any pictures showing it on the Tiger Force scheme. Since yellow is difficult to see on white, I'm thinking maybe it was in red. Or they had no stencils at all... Any thoughts?

Replied at CBFS, Jens. In the meantime, I'll keep a lookout.
 
Hi,

I just saw it. I also thought about checking similar decals on the Lancaster, but I cannot see any similar stencils and warning decals at all on the wartime Lancasters except for the fuselage and wing jacking points/trestle lines. Even if there are more Tiger force pictures of the Lancaster than the Lincoln there are few up close, but I think it is very plausible that it followed the same pattern as on the camouflaged scheme, No decals. It might have something to do that it was wartime and they did not see the value with painting such decals on an airframe which would have a short life and that warning stencils were something more related with peacetime health and safety considerations.. Therefor applied to the later black and grey Lincoln scheme.
 
Thanks for telling about the Lancaster sounds, they are great!


KM-C is getting ready. I have removed the stencils as it looks like they were not painted on the Tiger scheme and the exhaust stains have been modified. I have also made all new RAF C1 roundel and tail flash
