Building the 1/72 Revell kit and looking to do a 4 sqn. aircraft. I posted this question elsewhere to no avail and thought I would try here:
The pictures I have seen all show 4 Sqn. F.6s with the squadron emblem on the nose and the lightning bolt bars on either side of it but none on the fuselage either side of the roundel. Example here:
The F.4s of 4 Sqn. had the emblem on the nose without bars on either side but did have the bars on either side of the fuselage roundel. Example here:
My question is this: when did the squadron begin to apply the bars around the top of the fuselage roundel as seen on F.10s? In particular, was it ever applied to F.6s or was it something new for F.10s? I know I am asking a question about an obscure detail in appearance of aircraft almost 50 years ago, but I figure it is worth a shot. Any pictures of F.6s from 4 Sqn. may be helpful. The only 4 Sqn. F.6 pictures I have seen were taken in 57 or 58, so maybe a later F.6 picture from 59-61 may answer my question.
Cheers, Jack
