Yes, I figured you were using that image from Skaarup. The Mustangs did move around and change markings pretty often. The photo from Pat's book might be inconsistent with the photo you used because the emblem in that location would obscure the "City of New Westminster" legend which would have to be either absent or someplace else. So the two likely were taken at different times with a minor marking change in between. The photo from Skaarup looks carefully posed and, as you said, might have been a one-off for a special occasion.

I will shoot Pat an email. If you do a lot of Canadian military skins, his books are pretty essential. They help you get things like the basic roundel and other marking sizes and positions right as well.

Thank you August, I appreciate the assistance.

Pat already answered me. His dad took that photo in the RCAF book, and he has more, and he is putting me in touch with Jerry Vernon, who was the engineering officer at Sea Island during that period. Depending what we learn, you might have to plan on doing a few more skins! I'll DM you when we get some more info.

Some randoms from recent days... I branched into the freeware FBW Airbus - interesting to say the least.

(soon I swear lol)

Don't know how these will load. Flying the 1932 Bendix Trophy Race in the Grumman F3F-2 by AH. My appreciation to Jankees for the Marine Fighting Squadron paints.

How did you go?

How did you go?

I only got started yesterday and will have to do it in jumps because of work unfortunately. So I’m pretty sure I won’t be winning! 😂

This leg was just a warmup between Burbank, CA and Lake Havasu, AZ. I don’t think the Barrel has much in the way of navigation equipment, so I’m just Dead Reckoning there. I’ll need to perhaps do a more thorough job of flight planning when I don’t have something like the Colorado to catch me!

Great shot, Zsolt! Too bad that despite the many possible liveries, this version of the Starfighter seems to have been almost ignored by the repainter community ...

Yes, 26 repaint. For the TF at least we got to 67 .
If only I had the ability to make them myself....

Got an idea?

Got an idea?

Leaving aside the numerous special colors and the USAF "A" and "C" versions due to the "short tail", perhaps the colors of the JASDF would be interesting ...
