I was poking around trying to get some pictures of the 208 Sqn. Hunter depicted on the decals in the 1/32 Revell Hunter kit. The kit scheme seems to be a mixture of 208 Sqn. and 8 Sqn. markings. The decal sheet has the stripes around the roundel and squadron badge from 8 Sqn. as seen here:

and the 208 Sqn. chevron as seen here:

Trusting that Revell was using actual photographs for reference, is the scheme on their decal sheet a one off sort of thing where this particular aircraft had markings of both squadrons after a transfer or something of the like? If so, can anyone point me to a picture of this and does it show the underside in silver or grey? Revell suggests that you could do either, but it would seem that if this aircraft were in some kind of transitional state with both 8 and
208 markings, it would not likely have retained both sets of insignia long enough to have had both grey and silver undersides while retaining both 8 and 208 insignia. Any thoughts? - Jack
