"Flying Tin Cans" No. 182 Sqn Typhoon Template Colour Corrections


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

During the course of the FTC Campaign, we have been working on the skins for No. 182 Squadron during late September 1944.

 

What was not apparent from the start, was how off-colour the default template for the plane actually was.

 

So if anyone is interested, we have corrected the colours of the camo and roundels (essentially all the colours), to their correct historical counterparts.

 

As you can see, the difference is quite drastic (especially the yellow):

Please contact me if you would like the template containing these fixed colours. The colour swatch used can also be found below.

 

The final product looks much better in my opinion.

Applicable only for the lettering on the side, otherwise this seems to be from 1945.

This one is about the same time-frame as our Campaign.
